We offer a range of opportunities for volunteers with varying skill levels. Some volunteers bring existing skills, while others learn on the job. We'll place you in an area of service where a mentor can help you develop the necessary skills.
Boot Camp Volunteers: Should be able to walk long distances without assistance, as our property is large and cars are not permitted past the main parking lot during summer programs.
Local Volunteers: Typically commit to a full workday (8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with a lunch break). This can be a one time, weekly, or monthly commitment.
Out-of-State Volunteers: Usually serve for 3 days or longer, with January through March being the busiest months. Housing fills up quickly, so apply early if volunteering during this time.
Boot Camp Volunteers: Free housing and meals are offered during summer programs on a first-come first-serve basis. Dorm-style housing is available for singles, and motel-style housing for couples. If housing is full, you may still volunteer, but accommodations cannot be guaranteed.
Seasonal Volunteers: Housing is available at a discounted rate. Options include trailer homes (priority given to families) or motel-style rooms, depending on availability. Rates are based on the number of adults and children per night. Seasonal volunteers must provide their own meals.
Boot Camp volunteers are encouraged to make a donation to cover background check costs. You are responsible for travel expenses to Teen Missions. Transportation to/from the Orlando airport may be available during specific arrival/departure windows.
