Become a Volunteer

Pillars has many volunteer opportunities to match your talents and interests (view opportunities HERE). Volunteers can provide and serve meals, answer and redirect phones, greet guests, assist with maintenance and rehabilitation projects, run errands, and assist with guest transportation. Please complete the following steps to start volunteering:

1. Create an account on VolunteerHub

2. Watch our Volunteer Orientation Video

4. Schedule a follow-up call with our Volunteer Manager, Autumn, by emailing agomeztagle@pillarsinc.org.

Volunteer orientation provides information about Pillars, our clients, and most importantly the volunteer opportunities available to you and the community. All volunteers are required to watch the 30-minute pre-recorded orientation video before their first volunteer date.

Find the orientation video on our resources page.
