Volunteer as a Family
Family Promise is a very family-friendly volunteer opportunity! Make and serve a dinner as a family or have a “sleep over” with your kids at the congregations! There are many safe and fun ways to engage your children in volunteering for Family Promise and learning about homelessness.
Volunteer Coordinator
Each Host and Support Congregation has a volunteer who coordinates hosting activities for their congregation. Volunteer Coordinators work closely with Family Promise staff to meet the needs of guest families.
Volunteer for Special Events/Board Committees
Family Promise needs many volunteers who are interested in assisting with special events or serving on a Board committee.
Train Guest Families
Teach classes in parenting, budgeting, nutrition, computer skills, art or anything else you can dream up!

“Each time we make room for strangers, we chip away at the fear and isolation and heartbreak in our world. We also get to participate in something that is life giving, both to us and the people we welcome.”
