“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Eph. 2:10

Each volunteer is vital to our work with the kids. Thank you for your interest in partnering with us!

  • Fill out the Volunteer Application (all ages)
  • Complete an interview with the Volunteer Coordinator: contact us to schedule
  • Complete the Protect My Ministry Application (over 18) prior to Event

In addition, you agree to:

  • Maintain a developing relationship with Jesus
  • Read and respond to email/phone call correspondence within 48 hours
  • Stay informed about upcoming events
  • Sign up for events!

Pre-Event Responsibilities:

Event Day Responsibility:

  • Wear your Hope for Kids t-shirt (if you do not have one, ask for one at Registration)
  • Check in at the Front Desk upon arrival
  • Fill out and wear a nametag
  • Attend pre-event meeting/New Volunteer Orientation (date/time varies)

Volunteers’ Children:

  • Children under age 13 must have a completed Permission Slip (kept on file for 1 year)
  • Must be signed in at Front Desk upon arrival to Event
  • Children of volunteers must remain with their age-appropriate group.
  • Volunteers should not have their own children in their group unless they are age-appropriate or at least the age of 12 and signed in as a volunteer.

Cancellations: The success and effectiveness of our events depend upon our volunteers fulfilling their commitments. Contact us immediately by calling or texting 413-566-6291 if you need to cancel. Last minutes callouts affect the quality of the program and put strain on those volunteers in attendance.

No Call/No Show: Not serving on your scheduled day without notification puts stress on the program and volunteers. There will be a follow up phone call by the Volunteer Coordinator.
