Become a Volunteer

Getting Started

To start volunteering, please follow the steps below. Pillars requires all volunteers to go through this process before starting. If you are part of a group, at least one individual must undergo this process. Pillars schedules volunteers using a calendar shift system. You can sign up for shifts once you complete your training. Thank you for your interest in joining our team! 

1. Fill out an application. Our Volunteer Manager will review it and email you to set up a call. They will also provide you with some materials to complete before the call takes place. 

2. Our Volunteer Manager will set you up with training shifts to complete following your call. After training, you will receive a VolunteerHub account to sign up for shifts on your own. 

3. Volunteer on your own! Welcome to the team.
