Volunteer
Volunteering opportunities
Volunteers are needed Monday through Sunday, 365 days a year.
Volunteers are an essential and vital part of Grace House. They don't just provide shift coverage — they bring a positive connection to the local community and the world-at-large for our guests. Grace House would not exist without its dedicated community volunteer corps.
Open shifts
Morning
6:00 – 8:00 a.m.
Wake guests, set the table, serve breakfast, and make sure morning chores are completed.
Evening
4:45 – 9:00 p.m.
Prepare or pick up donated meals, interact with guests, provide conversation, play games, and help with weekly cleaning projects.
Overnight
9:00 p.m. – 6:00 a.m.
Interact with guests, enforce bedtime rules, supervise sleeping quarters, and tend to guest needs throughout the shift.
Grace House also seeks volunteers for other projects and general advocacy support.
Our volunteers include past guests, individuals performing community service, students and interns from Itasca Community College, retirees and members of RSVP, parishioners from many area churches, youth groups, and local citizens who want to make a difference in someone's life.
Volunteers must pass a background check and participate in a volunteer training session. Training is held the second Monday of each month, 5:00–6:30 p.m.
Please read the volunteer guidelines, then fill out the application. You're welcome to call our office at 218-326-2790 for more information.
