"I have found a 2nd home at Sunday Friends.
It's a great way to get away from the stress of my job.
I love all the volunteers there and
just love the atmosphere that has been created!...
I look forward to going every week" — Adult Volunteer


How do I sign up?

1. Complete the online New Volunteer Application and submit it no later than the Wednesday prior to the program you want to attend. Fill it out completely.

If you have scheduled a guest group activity, please make sure that every member of your group has read the Volunteer Orientation and submitted the Volunteer Application. Make sure each member fills in the same name for your group as well as the group leader's name.

2. If you are under 18 or a high school student, you must also have one of your parents read the Parent of Volunteer Orientation on this website. Make sure that your parent submits the completed Parent Permission Form.

3. If you are under 14, you are welcome to volunteer in our program but you must bring an adult with you. Please have that adult complete this Volunteer Orientation, in addition to you.

4. Check out the directions to the program, but don't show up before you have completed the phone interview.

5. You will receive a phone call from a Sunday Friends interviewer within a few days, but only if you have completely filled out and submitted your online Volunteer Application. In the phone conversation, you and the interviewer will agree on a date for the first Sunday that you will join us in the program. Be aware that some Sundays may be full.

6. Mark your calendar. We are expecting you to fulfill your volunteer commitment for the precise days and hours scheduled. Our program and the families are counting on you. If something changes for you, be sure to call ahead and let us know that you need to cancel or reschedule. If you arrive for the first time on a day for which you have not been scheduled, we will probably not be able to invite you in.

7. Return Often Once you have completed this orientation, the phone interview and your first day with Sunday Friends, you will be welcome to return. You must schedule subsequent volunteering dates through this website at Returning Volunteers Only on the main Volunteer page.
