Volunteers support Theresa House guests by:

  • supplementing the work of Theresa House staff
  • bringing experience and skills to us that our staff may not have
  • improving our level of service
  • dedicating their time to the mission of the Theresa House

The guests at Theresa House are in transition and need volunteers who can be stable and continual.

Some jobs have a minimum commitment of 14 hours of work over a two month period.

Even though we encourage volunteers to make longer commitments, we know not everyone can do so. For volunteers unable to make a long-term commitment, we have also have on-call and short-term opportunities.
