Volunteer

COVID-19 Update: The health and well-being of our youth, staff and volunteers is our upmost priority therefore, we have temporarily paused all in person volunteer activities at Phoenix for the foreseeable future. We are still accepting applications, and look forward to welcoming volunteers again when it is safe to do so.

Phoenix is thrilled to have the support of over 200 volunteers from our community with diverse skills, interests and backgrounds! From workshops to preparing meals, facility maintenance to events committees, there are many ways to get involved. To learn more about Phoenix's volunteer programs check out the opportunities outlined below.

Phoenix could not exist without the time & energy contributed by our dedicated volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering, please complete our Volunteer Application Form.

Meal Preparer

Healty eating nourishes the body, gives us energy, and improves our physical and mental health. It is especially important for young people to meet their nutritional needs. 

We are looking for volunteers with a passion for food and a flair for cooking to prepare meals at Phoenix Youth Shelter and Phoenix House. You don't need to have any professional cooking experience.
