Volunteer Application

Volunteer Application

Thank you so much for your interest in volunteering with Pivot! We are excited to have you! Let me start off by explaining the process. Any interested volunteer will fill out the attached application. You have the option of filling it out and then emailing it back to me or bringing it with you on your scheduled volunteer day. For our first-time volunteers, and anyone volunteering less than 20 hours, the volunteer positions are mostly organizational and staff support. So, our clothing, shoes, household, and Tiny Home décor closets, our food pantries, and sorting room are always in need of volunteers to help organize those. Sometimes staff have special projects or need an extra hand when it comes to a task and volunteers can help with that as well! Volunteering schedules and shifts are decided by the volunteer! You can come and go to fit the needs of your schedule! Please note that we will not be able to schedule volunteer shifts after 5pm Monday-Friday or during the weekend unless it is for a group larger than 5. For our volunteers that have shown a commitment of 20 documented volunteer hours or more, a background check can be done to make sure that they are eligible to work with youth. For the safety of our youth, no one can volunteer with them unless a background check has returned clean.
