Are you a compassionate person who has some free time and would like to make a significant difference in the lives of those in your community? As Edward Everett Hale said, “I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.”
There are so many ways to get involved at New Day Women’s Center!
Shift Volunteer Typically 4 hour shifts, 8 if preferred. Daily, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly available. Volunteers focus on hospitality, making guests feel welcome, assisting with needs and questions, playing games, assisting with classes, meals, light housekeeping, intake forms. No experience necessary, just a heart to serve with empathy and non-judgment. You will touch hearts in ways you can’t even imagine! *This role is for females only to accommodate those who have experienced trauma.
Childcare Shift Volunteer 4 hour shifts. Daily, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly available. If you love children, this is the role for you! Spend time with all ages of children while moms are getting a much-needed break or engaging in services or programming. You will be the New Day super star in this role!
Class Facilitator Make this a one-time deal or become a regular part of our schedule. If you have a specialized skill, passion or area of expertise, our ladies will greatly benefit from your sharing it with them. You will be the catalyst for our guests’ success by serving as teacher.
Meals and Snacks Does it bring your heart joy to cook, feed or serve others? Maybe it just makes you happy to know you are providing a nutritious meal, snack or even a special dessert for those who can’t make a dollar stretch far enough on their own. Many in our area can’t afford healthy options, haven’t learned the skills or the importance of eating healthy to cook well for themselves. Would you be that person to provide it for them?
Pet Therapy Calling all cute and well-trained pets! Interactions with furry friends are proven to raise dopamine levels, reduce depression, anxiety, apathy and increase verbal and physical interaction for those with disabilities. You and your pet will hold a special place in the hearts at New Day Women’s Center if you choose this highly esteemed role.
Movers We need muscle and big trucks! Sometimes it’s just a TV or couch that needs moving. Sometimes it’s a single woman with or without a disability that needs assistance moving to a new apartment. Want to be someone’s hero and help make this happen? Sign up today!
Drivers Become an insured, approved volunteer driver for those occasions when a bus, Uber or MTM isn’t an option for a guest. Other times, a guest may be homebound and in need of something we can drop off. You will be a “lifesaver” when you provide for this critical need. *This role is for females only to accommodate those who have experienced trauma.)
Host a Celebration or Holiday Do you love coordinating and hosting parties? If so, you just may be interested in providing or planning and hosting a party or Holiday celebration for our ladies. Many of our guests live alone, in shelters or don’t have the financial means to celebrate. You will create meaningful and lasting memories when you volunteer with us.
Shoppers Do you have a little room in your cart to throw in some extra items for New Day when you are out shopping? Or maybe you have time to swing by and pick up that online order we put in earlier. Whatever the case may be, we sure would appreciate your help with this time saving errand running!
Jack(s)-of-All-Trades Are you handy with minor repairs, painting, assembly, building or woodworking? We will have minor projects from time to time that we would be eternally grateful to have your help with.
“No work is insignificant. All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking
excellence.”
