Volunteer Opportunities

At the heart of our network lie the volunteers that give of themselves in order to help neighbors. Being an organization that is based on giving, there is always need for volunteers. Come join us and take advantage of the many opportunites to help families stay together and get back on their feet.

Moving Families
Job Searching

Meals & Overnight Stays through Host and Partner Congregation.

Becoming a Volunteer for Family Promise of Lewis Clark Valley

All volunteers must complete a free volunteer training seminar before working with the families. This training will provide you with materials that will equip you and inform you of the workings of our network. Orientations are held at various times throughout the year. Once you have been trained, you have a multitude of opportunities – far beyond the ones listed above. If you, as a volunteer, have specific skills or talents, we would be happy to accommodate whatever time you are willing to share.

Be a Weekend Volunteer!

Family Promise of Lewis Clark Valley needs trained volunteers who are willing to help out on weekends. Call us and we will put you on our volunteer list and call you when we need help. We will do all the training that is necessary. Most of the time we just need adults to be at the Day Center with our families on Saturay and Sunday. It's an easy way to get involved. For more information call our office, 208-798-3349.
