Volunteer Opportunities

Every Wednesday evening, we invite members of our community to join us for dinner at 6:00 p.m., followed by a 20–30 minute talk and Q&A beginning at 7:00 p.m. Our students are men and women who are rebuilding their lives after addiction, incarceration, and homelessness. Hearing from successful leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals, and community members who are willing to share their personal or professional journeys has an incredible impact on them. You certainly don’t need to be a professional speaker—just someone with experiences, lessons learned, and wisdom to share.
