Volunteer
Give the gift of your time. God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. 1 Peter 4:10
HHH volunteer staff is comprised of both youth (completed 9th grade and above) and adult leaders from our local communities. We average approximately 90 volunteers on staff during the summer months, all giving their time and service for free. Many continue to serve throughout the program year or return each summer. Since our inception date through July 2024, almost 600 unduplicated volunteers have given their time, love, and energy to the Seeds of Hope programs.
There is a major emphasis on allowing youth to serve as positive and relatable role models. Consequently, these programs have proven to be a rich training ground for rising youth leaders. We are so proud of these young heroes!
