Thank you for your interest in becoming a volunteer!
From individuals, to companies, to faith-based organizations, Covenant House needs your help! Unlike many volunteer opportunities, we want you to do what you love to do… just do it with our youth, either individually or with a group of your friends or co-workers.
It is only with the support of our community that we can offer so many opportunities for healing and growth to our young people. What do you love to do? Do you write, cook, dance, play an instrument or sports? Do you have administrative, design or organizational skills? Come share that passion with our young people! We need your help at Covenant House! Please contact us today!
Some ideas include:
+ Providing haircuts to our youth
+ Donating your time to teach our young people a new skill like gardening
+ Hosting a tie-dye party or beach day
Learn more about our opportunities, and how you can make a difference in the lives of youth overcoming homelessness and trafficking!

Get Your Company Involved
At CHC, we recognize that successful partnerships don’t generally fit a one size fits all model. We’d love to learn about the needs of your organization, and create a partnership that is meaningful, rewarding and sustainable for all involved. We can work with you to engage your employees in multiple ways including (but not limited to): volunteerism, service projects, supply drives, in-kind donations, cause-related marketing, employee giving, job creation, special event participation, sponsorship and programmatic investments.
Please reach out to Amanda Sattler to see how your company can partner with CHC, while dramatically improving the lives of young people overcoming homelessness.
