Special Events
Hope House has many volunteer opportunities throughout the year for you to get involved with! Many of our special events utilize volunteers to help make the event a success. You can help us with tasks such as set-up, greeting guests, check-in, raffle tickets sales, running a photo booth, showing off auction items, and more! We would love to have you join us as a volunteer at our special events. Click the button below to sign up for volunteer emails.
On Campus
As on campus roles exist for individuals, safety for our clients has to be our top priority. Therefore, individuals that volunteer on campus occasionally need to complete a background check and pay a $35 fee. Please contact our staff to discuss if your volunteer task requires this action.
Volunteer with a Group
Whether your group is big or small we have a project for you! We offer both on and off campus volunteer opportunities for groups. Examples of group volunteer projects are helping to maintain our facilities, donation sorting, hosting a donation drive, or assisting with Hope House events.

Speaker's Bureau
The Hope House Speaker's Bureau is a group of passionate volunteers who help spread the word about Hope House's mission and domestic violence. Whether it’s giving presentations at schools, community events, or businesses, our speakers play a vital role in increasing awareness around domestic violence and driving support for our cause.
If public speaking isn’t your thing, don’t worry - we have other ways to get involved! You can help by sitting at a resource table, distributing materials, or assisting with events. No matter your level of comfort with speaking, we have a place for you on this impactful team!
Next Speaker's Bureau Training: February 20th from 2:00-4:00 PM @ Hope House Independence
Contact Paige Saban to sign up for Speaker's Bureau trainings.

Through these programs, companies give donations to non-profit organizations where employees regularly volunteer.
