Frequently Asked Questions

Volunteer at WellPower: Do Good, Feel Great

Volunteers are an important part of our community and make a huge difference in the lives of people we serve.

Currently, most volunteer opportunities are available at our Dahlia Campus Farms and Gardens, where individuals and groups can assist with gardening, farm maintenance and seasonal activities (either as ongoing volunteers or for one-time opportunities). Support with the farm and gardens help our efforts to promote wellness through access to fresh food and green spaces.

Volunteer opportunities at additional WellPower locations, such as NextChapter, Emerson St., and The Behavioral Health Solutions Center will be posted on our volunteer platform as they become available. These opportunities can range from tutoring young people to supporting people we serve with classes and learning opportunities.

We also offer one-time volunteer events, such as our annual Fish Fry, throughout the year for those looking for flexible ways to get involved.

Wondering about the time commitment?

Volunteer positions at WellPower vary in their time commitments from a couple hours weekly to single-hour time slots for one-time events.
