Volunteer

Since 1989 we have remained committed to fostering community involvement through an active volunteer program. Volunteer opportunities span a variety of programs and roles like Front Desk Volunteers, Group Facilitators, and Youth Advocates. We also offer opportunities to fulfill any type of Community Service hours if needed. Volunteers are also vital to the success of such events as Pride, Big Bash, and the Wine Party. Only through the literally thousands of volunteer hours donated each year is Affirmations able to offer the programs and services it does to the local LGBTQ+ Community on a daily basis.

We are NOW ACCEPTING volunteer applications.

Please note that there are two intakes. Should you miss the Fall intake, please know that volunteer applications will open up again on January 16th for the Winter intake.

CSV applications are on a rolling basis and can be submitted at any time.

If you are waiting to hear back on an application that has already been submitted, please allow up to three weeks for someone to contact you. Background checks need to be performed and we will call you to spend a little time getting to know you via a phone call.

We appreciate your patience during this process.  Thank you!

Before you proceed with your application, we would like you let you know
that your help is most need at the Welcome & Resource Desk. There are three
desk shifts which you can choose from:

10am-2pm
2pm-6pm
6pm-9pm
