At GRACE volunteers are a vital part of our programs and services. In 2006, over 40,000 volunteer hours were logged by individual volunteers and groups at GRACE. Whether you’re an individual, part of a church group, a scouting troop or a corporate team, there’s a place for you in our volunteer program.

GRACE offers two types of volunteer orientations. Before volunteers begin working at GRACE we ask that each volunteer complete an orientation. Below are descriptions  of the two types of volunteer orientations.

Clinic Volunteers
If you are interested in volunteer opportunities at the GRACE Outreach to Health Community Clinic, click here for a list of available positions and contact information.

New Volunteer Orientations
We offer new volunteer orientation twice a month for anyone who is interested in getting started volunteering at GRACE. GRACE offers many types of volunteer opportunities that would fit into anyone’s schedule. During the volunteer orientation you will learn about
the GRACE mission,
all services and programs that GRACE provides to our clients, GRACE Resale and Donations, volunteer opportunities and GRACE needs.

Community Service Restitution (CSR) Orientations
Community service orientation is for individuals who have court appointed, attorney appointed, or school appointed community service. Community service orientation is MANDATORY before you can begin volunteering at GRACE. During the CSR orientation one needs to bring their paperwork from the school or court. At this time you will be ask to commit to dates and times that you will volunteer.
