Volunteer

We understand that you’re busy and may not be able to make a long-term commitment right now. That’s why we offer several short-term “micro” volunteer options to individuals who want to help The Inn on a more temporary basis.

• Organize a collection drive with items from our Wish List
• Organize your very own Fundraiser
• Skill-based or Pro-Bono Services
• Create Thoughtful Treasures for our mailbox stuffer program

For our on-site volunteer positions, the minimum age requirement is 18 years old, a weekly or bi-weekly 2 to 4-hour shift, scheduled on a regular day and time, for a minimum service commitment of one year. Some examples of our long-term volunteer opportunities are:

Welcome Desk
Volunteers are our registration and concierge desk all in one. They answer phones, take reservations, check families in and out of their rooms, orient new families to The Inn, and answer questions about everything from airport transportation to visits to the zoo.

Kitchen Assistant
Volunteers maintain three well-organized and stocked kitchens and pantries for our families. This position involves sorting and organizing kitchen supplies in all cabinets, drawers, and pantries.

Educational Tutor
Engage families in education programs offered at The Inn through activities, study halls, and one-on-one tutoring.

Facilities Assistant
Day-to-day tasks vary greatly, though they often include light maintenance-related projects such as changing overhead light bulbs, fixing broken furniture, and tending to interior and exterior building maintenance.

Administrative Support
Assist staff in a wide range of administrative functions and general office duties including data entry, filing, copying, mailings, phone calls, and more.

Skill-based or Pro-bono Services
If you have a special talent such as photography, art, videography, IT, graphic design, cooking, gardening, fundraising, writing, etc., we might have a job for you!
