Volunteer opportunities vary based on current program needs, location, availability, and applicable screening or training requirements.
CONNECTIONS MATTER
SOMETIMES THE MOST VALUABLE THING YOU CAN GIVE IS A CONNECTION.
Reentry requires access to opportunities and resources across many areas of life. You may know a person, business, organization, or program that could help strengthen the network available to individuals and families navigating reentry.

KNOW SOMETHING WE SHOULD KNOW?

Sharing a resource does not guarantee referral, partnership, endorsement, or use by OTWH. Resources may be reviewed for relevance and suitability before being shared with participants.

BE PART OF THE WORK
