As a peer-support organization, our programs depend on volunteers in order to be successful. There are numerous ways to partner with us and serve those in grief. Some involve providing compassionate care and support. Others involve administrative support, event planning, raising funds, and community outreach. Would you like to use your skills and life experiences to bring hope and help to others?

New Hope Center is only able to provide grief support services at no cost because of the generosity of others. Our funding comes from individual donors, business sponsorships, grants, and fundraising events. We need high-energy individuals who feel comfortable engaging the community in our mission through financial and in-kind contributions. Volunteers can also plan “fun”raisers, which are social events where participants collect a financial contribution to New Hope before participating.
Special event volunteers have a great time helping plan fundraisers, social outings, or volunteer appreciation events. They also have a great time assisting at events by greeting and registering guests, selling raffle tickets, helping at auctions, as well as doing set-up and cleanup.
