Volunteer With Us

Volunteers are essential to Thrive’s ability to carry out our mission of growing and creating positive change in our community.

We are immensely grateful to our dedicated volunteers who generously give their time and energy, helping us sustain a wide wide range of high quality services for those in need.

The Benefits of Being a Volunteer

Anyone who has volunteered knows the great job and satisfaction that comes from helping others. Studies have shown that volunteers gain health benefits, social connections and an emotional boost when they give time and effort to a worthy cause.

We want to see our community thrive and we know that fostering an environment of caring and sharing is foundational to all that we do. Those who come to us with a difficult past report that they find meaningful connections through their volunteer experiences at Thrive. We meet people where they are at and provide opportunities to engage in ways that help them develop and move forward on their life’s journey.

“The staff at Thrive welcomed me with open arms. No judgment, no harsh ridicule, just love. 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.” – Nina

“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.” – Sean

“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.” – Addie

“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!”- Chelsea

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

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

Volunteer Requirements

All volunteers are required to sign a Confidentiality Agreement, agreeing to keep all community members information confidential. Volunteers will also be required to sign a Disclosure Statement, stating if they have any criminal convictions or current criminal charges. Positions that work with children, or work one-on-one with participants, will require a Child Abuse Registry Check, at the applicant’s expense. Having a criminal record or criminal charges does not necessarily mean that a person cannot volunteer – a decision will be made based on the recency of the charges and the relevancy to the position.

For more information on volunteering please call 204.772.9091
