Volunteer Opportunities
Be a part of our regional response to homelessness! Acres of Diamonds has a variety of volunteer opportunities available, including one time and on-call opportunities, group events, and regular volunteer staff positions. Our goal is to place you in a position where your gifts and passions are meeting a need for our women, children, and organization.
A great place to start getting to know Acres and discerning where to help out would be on one of our Vision Tours.
Currently, we have limited community interfacing roles but we would love to connect with you if you are interested in volunteering. To tell us more about yourself, fill out our volunteer contact form or give us a call at 425-788-9999 or email us at volunteer@acresofdiamonds.org.
