Volunteer With Us

Volunteers are essential to Thrive’s mission of fostering growth, connection, and positive change in our community.

We are deeply grateful for the dedication of our volunteers, who generously give their time and energy to support our purpose: empowering individuals and families through inclusive, high-quality services. Their contributions help us sustain vital programs and create meaningful impact for those in need, ensuring our vision of a stronger, more connected community becomes a reality.

The Benefits of Being a Volunteer

Volunteering not only supports others but also enriches the lives of those who give their time and effort. Studies show that volunteering provides health benefits, social connections, and an emotional boost, and at Thrive, these rewards take on even deeper meaning.

We want to see our community thrive, and fostering an environment of caring and sharing is at the heart of everything we do. Many who come to us with challenging pasts find meaningful connections and renewed purpose through their volunteer experiences. By meeting people where they are, we create opportunities for growth and engagement, empowering individuals to move forward on their life’s journey while giving back to support others.

“The staff at Thrive welcomed me with open arms. I’m looking forward to learning and growing my abilities to help others. For the old saying is true, “everything grows with love.” Thank God for places like Thrive.”

“As I build supports, and friends here I feel they are truly caring people too. I can recall missing a day recently, two staff members reached out to me, just to say; “We care about you”. It truly lifted my spirits.”

“It gets me out of the house and keeps me active and social. In fact, I would advise anyone thinking about volunteering or donating to just do it. It’s a great experience and a great feeling to be helping people in need.”

“I started volunteering because I needed work experience and heard about this place from a friend. “JUST DO IT! Because you never know what good can come out of it. Whatever happens will be a learning experience. You may never feel ‘ready’, so…you just gotta take the leap!”

I like the people I work with.  They’re kind, and everyone is always smiling.”

“I really like volunteering here. It’s helping me stay sober a lot. And it keeps me busy. Thank you for everything!”

Volunteer Requirements

Volunteers working with children are required to complete a Child Abuse Registry Check. All volunteers must also sign a Confidentiality Agreement to protect the privacy of participants. Additionally, volunteers are required to give a Criminal Disclosure Statement; however, having a criminal history does not automatically exclude someone from volunteering. Thrive evaluates each situation individually, recognizing the value of lived experience and second chances in fostering a supportive and inclusive environment.
