St. Joseph's loves volunteers!!
We believe that volunteers are the backbone of our organization. They bring a human touch and a caring approach to all that we do. Without the help we receive from our dedicated volunteers, we would not be able to provide our wide range of services.

Our volunteers come to us from schools, churches, businesses, civic organizations, social groups – and, of course, some are families and groups of friends, eager to help.


As of June 22, 2021, for the health and safety of our staff and clients, we are only accepting volunteers that have been fully vaccinated for Covid-19.  If you have not yet been vaccinated, we encourage you to volunteer for St. Joseph's in other "off-site" capacities such as donating food or making sandwiches.  Please see the "Donate" section of our website for details.

If you're interested in joining our team of volunteer superheroes, please click on this link to complete an application:  Individual Volunteer

If you have a group of 3 or more that would like to volunteer, please click on this link to complete a group application:  Group Volunteer  

Someone from our staff will contact you.


If you have any questions, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator Tamma Hampton at thampton@sjeliz.org.
