Join Our Community of Volunteers
On The Rise depends on more than 350 individuals, families, businesses, faith-based communities, schools and other groups who provide energy, time, talents and resources to create and maintain a caring environment for participants at On The Rise.
While On The Rise does not invite individuals from the community to work directly with program participants, we offer projects and ways to be involved that demonstrate to women and trans/nonbinary individuals, who often feel shunned by society, that the broader community is concerned for their well-being.
We operate in this way to respect and support the privacy and confidentiality of the individuals we work with. We do not offer volunteer opportunities that involve interactions with our participants, and therefore do not offer volunteer opportunities while our program is open.
Service Days
We are accepting some volunteers in-person on Mondays between 3:30pm-5:30pm to do donation sorting, and other miscellaneous projects. If you are interested in volunteering onsite, fill out our brief volunteer application below. Current approved volunteers can sign up for shifts here. Learn more.
