Volunteers play a vital role in the mission of The Night Ministry, from providing hospitality at our Health Outreach Bus and building supportive relationships with the young people in our Housing Programs to collecting hygiene kits and sorting in-kind gifts. By volunteering, you can make a difference in the lives of the young people and adults who turn to us when they have nowhere else to go.
We welcome both individual and group volunteers to join us in bringing compassionate care and support to the thousands of individuals whom we serve every year.
