This is a great opportunity for individuals who enjoy working with youth and want to make a lasting impact through mentorship and play. Join us in creating a supportive and uplifting environment for our residents!
Special/Group Project – Calling all groups and organizations! We’ll agree together ahead of time on a project that will give your group a chance to use their personal skill set or that of their group to help the children, staff and/or campus.
- Day of Service: Spend the day with us at Marygrove, assisting our staff with various campus-related projects (painting or simple landscaping). We’ll work with your group to design a time period and project that suits your interests. Available between May and October, Monday thru Friday, during regular business hours. All Day of Service volunteers are required to be over the age of 21.
- Host a Collection: A great way for a group to be involved is to host a collection drive. We can discuss Marygrove’s current needs, and help you get set up for a drive within your organization for a predetermined period of time. We love it when our groups visit us to bring their collection efforts, and we can show them exactly how much it’s appreciated!
