Volunteering
There are so many ways to support youth with HomePlate!
We welcome individuals and groups from businesses, churches, or community organizations.
Short Term
Large Vehicle Support/Youth Move-In: Have a large truck or vehicle you would be willing to let us use to transport large items for youth move-in’s or between HP’s locations? Let us know!
Special Event Volunteer: Help us staff fundraisers, special youth events, community events, etc.! We have several individual events throughout the year that need support. You can volunteer individually or as a group.
Group Volunteer Days: Are you part of a community group, work team, or church that is looking to volunteer as a group? Come do a day of service with HomePlate! Work with our Volunteer Coordinator to find a project that best fits your group.

Long Term
CORE Volunteer: Core volunteers are those that regularly interact with youth in one of our programs listed below. CORE volunteers make a commitment to serve with us for at least 6 months and commit to a regular schedule. All CORE volunteers complete our application, onboarding training, and background check process.
Drop-In: Help create a welcoming environment and build relationships with youth during our weekly drop-in hours.
Outreach: Get into the community with our Outreach Workers to reach out to youth where they are at and tell them about HomePlate. Outreach volunteers must be able to carry a backpack and be willing to be outdoors in any kind of weather.
Employment: Support youth in their job searches and in developing their job skills.
Education: Support youth getting their GEDs or going to college with tutoring or helping out with a variety of Life Skills Workshops
Housing: Assist in resource compiling and navigation for the youth in our Housing Program. [FULL]
Outings: Come on monthly trips with staff and youth!
We are so grateful for the time and energy that each of you give to HP and the youth we serve on a regular basis. We’ve created a Facebook page and a newsletter as a space for us to share appreciations, highlight the amazing work you all do, and get you connected with more volunteer opportunities (and each other) at HomePlate!
