Always accepting gifts of time, talent and treasure

Give Time & Talent

We are proud of the success Journey to New Life clients have achieved in such a short time, but we can’t do it alone! One of the reasons our costs stay low and more funding goes directly toward client services is because we have a large roster of volunteers who give their time and talent every month.

Journey to New Life is always looking for:

  • Office help Mondays through Fridays, any time between 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
  • Client mentors to provide guidance and serve as life-skill coaches, training provided
  • Donation receivers and sorters
  • Gardeners to help with our annual planting and tending
  • Movers to pick up and deliver donations as well as help clients on their move-in day
  • First Stop Services intake specialists (under direction of First Stop Services Director), assist First Stop Services clients with basic needs following release from prison and help them to connect to other needed resources.
  • Assistance in employment services, including mock interviewing
  • Any other professional skills

Volunteer Inquiry

“I’ve always felt compelled to help. When I started volunteering at Journey to New Life, I met the ex-offenders. Right away, I knew I had found a mission that really gave these individuals a chance for a stable, productive life, while also keeping our community a bit safer.”
