You get to choose how you can help. We have a wide variety of volunteer opportunities available. Select what suits you…then join us – you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the difference you can make! Interested parties will need to submit a volunteer application, follow the link at the bottom of this page!
Interested Parties Should Consider Before Applying:
*Due to the amount of orientation/training we require for our volunteer positions, we ask for a 6 month commitment of 5 hours per month.
*Volunteers must be 18 years or older. Minors between 5-15 years may “volunteer” with a parent or guardian who is a registered volunteer. There should be one adult working with each child. *Minors between 16-17 years may volunteer within the building with the consent of a parent or guardian.

*If you are volunteering for your court ordered community service, you must notify HSMC when you apply. Court ordered community service will be addressed on a case by case basis.
