Volunteer Opportunities at Positive Tomorrows
Join our amazing team of volunteers – there’s a volunteer opportunity for everyone at Positive Tomorrows!
How It Works
Volunteers must fill out an application and pass a background check to work directly with our students.
Once forms are processed, volunteer training is scheduled – typically one hour during a weekday.
Volunteers are scheduled for a shift based on highest needs and areas of interest and can start making a difference.
The approval process, from application to training, typically takes about 2 weeks.
