Volunteer Programs
Come alongside the work. Share your time, talents, and expertise.
Volunteers are an important part of the Harriet’s House community. They come alongside our work, not to rescue or save, but to contribute their time, skills, knowledge, and care in ways that support women, youth, families, and the work of Harriet’s House.
We ask volunteers to approach this work with respect, humility, and an understanding that the women and families we serve already bring strength, knowledge, and power of their own. Our role, and the role of our volunteers, is to help create supportive conditions where that strength can continue to grow.

Group Volunteer Projects
Serve together. Support the work.
Harriet’s House welcomes sororities, fraternities, businesses, faith communities, civic organizations, and other groups interested in serving together. Groups can support our work through organized service projects, collection drives, assembling program resources, and other activities based on current needs.
Projects may include collecting sanitary products, diapers, baby supplies, or other requested items; preparing resources for programs; or supporting special Harriet’s House initiatives.
Group volunteer projects do not automatically include direct participation in Harriet’s House programs or access to program participants. Opportunities involving direct engagement with women, youth, or families may require additional screening, orientation, and training.
Commitment: One-time or short-term group projects
