Are you looking for an even deeper volunteer opportunity at City Mission? Do you have strong leadership skills that you feel would be a be an asset to our team?
We're looking to recruit high level volunteer leaders to serve in a leadership capacity. These volunteer leaders would be working closely with our staff and leading other volunteers.
Since this is a bigger commitment, the application process is slightly different than our MDV opportunities. You can read about the volunteer leadership positions by clicking the button below and then apply (similar to applying for a job). Our team will review your application and contact you with the next steps.
Q: What is a Mission Encounter?
A Mission Encounter is an orientation/information session for new volunteers who are interested in learning more about volunteering here at City Mission. Interested volunteers take a tour of the campus, discuss different possibilities and then talk with the Volunteer Team about the best fit! It is also the first step to becoming a Mission Driven Volunteer.
