Skills-Based Volunteering
Have a talent, profession, or skill you would like to share with young people? Skills-based volunteers can donate their time or services by leading an activity, teaching a new skill, providing a workshop, or creating a hands-on learning experience for youth.
This could include art, music, dance, fitness, wellness, financial literacy, career exploration, entrepreneurship, STEAM, robotics, cooking, photography, technology, life skills, and more.
If you have something meaningful to share with our youth, we would love to hear from you.
Why Volunteer With Us?
Volunteers help Journey to Healing reach more youth, adults and families in our communities while creating meaningful experiences that feel supportive, welcoming, and connected.
Whether you are helping at a community event, preparing gifts for a family, supporting a youth activity, sharing a skill, or helping connect someone to resources, your time helps extend the work we are able to do across our communities.
By volunteering with Journey to Healing, you help us:
- Expand the reach of our programs and community events
- Create positive and engaging experiences for children and youth
- Connect families with helpful resources and support
- Strengthen community relationships and a sense of belonging
- Support programs centered on healing, wellness, growth, and connection
- Bring additional skills, creativity, and care into the spaces we serve
Every volunteer plays a part in helping us create stronger, more supported communities. Sometimes that impact is seen in a large event, and sometimes it is as simple as helping one child feel included, one family feel supported, or one community feel cared for.
