Volunteer

Volunteers are the ROCK STARS of Open Door! Our clients and staff are always thrilled to welcome helpers at our workshops and events because volunteers are an integral part of Open Door’s team. If you are looking for a way to make an impact on the lives of others and bring new meaning to your own life, please consider spending some time with us at Open Door. Bring your energy and ideas, and we will provide the enthusiasm!

Both long-term and short-term commitments are welcome. We also encourage people of all ages to help out individually or in groups with friends. Church clubs, school classes, and 4-H clubs are just a few of the groups that have enjoyed spending time with our clients.
