House of Hope provides a safe and supportive place where youth and young families experiencing homelessness will become confident, independent, and successful members of our community. We envision a future where every child knows what it feels like to have a home.
Thank you for your interest in volunteering at House of Hope! We have volunteer opportunities for individuals and groups. Individuals must be age 16 or older to volunteer on their own. Youth under age 16 are welcome to volunteer with an adult. Please sign up to receive more information.
