Celebrate the season with festive treats, face painting, and fun games for our annual Fall Harvest Festival for the kids!

We are looking for volunteers to help with:

Groups of up to 10 people are welcome to sign up together, bring your friends, family, or coworkers and enjoy the festivities as a team!

Don't hesitate to sign up as we celebrate the Autumn season with sweet treats and joyful activities!

Please join us in celebrating the Holiday Season with our annual Kids Holiday Shopping Extravaganza!

Every year, our Hope Center Members (ages K-12th) have the opportunity to utilize budgeting skills with the Hope bucks they've earned throughout the season. They get to purchase gifts from the Christmas shop for themselves and their families.

Volunteers help our Members shop for presents and wrap the gifts for the children to take home in time for Christmas. In addition, we ask for help with set-up, stocking, sorting gifts, cashier, and clean up.

If you love kids, The Hope Center is the place for you. 

Come on a weekly basis to spend time with our members, ages K-12, during program hours. During your time, you can choose to help kids with their homework, have meaningful conversations during meal times, play games and skate during free time, and assist in a series of learning and skilled activities. 

We are open for volunteers Mon-Thurs 3:30-6:30 and Fri 3:30-6:00.

Please contact me at aschanou@hopecenterforkids.com to set up an orientation.

Interested in developing a meaningful relationship with a student, one-on-one?

At The Hope Center, we partner with Release Inc. to find mentors for our members. 

Release is looking for Christian mentors over the age of 18 who have a heart for struggling/at-risk youth. You will be their friend, guide, and advocate. These youth simply need someone to listen to them and be an example of what it means to live in relationship with the Lord. 

You will be able to meet with your mentee on your own schedule.

Are you an individual, organization,  or business that is interested in sharing your skills and gifts with youth?

Whether you are talented in soccer, a professional in finance, or a hobbyist who likes art, we would love to host you!

We are searching for talented and passionate people who would want to be a guest speaker, teach a class, or introduce a topic to our members during program hours, ages K-12. 

We are open Mon-Thurs 3:30-6:30 and Fri 3:30-6:30.

Contact me at aschanou@hopecenterforkids.com for an orientation.

Help us pack bags of food for our kids to take home!

While we provide our youth and children with snacks and serve hot meals daily, The Hope Center also helps maintain food security with individual packages of meals and snacks for our members to take home each weekend!

Groups and individuals are welcome to assist us monthly as we organize and set up food package assembly lines, we will pack food bags and load them into totes for storage until distributed. Help is needed to tear-down and clean-up packages.
