​DIRECT VOLUNTEERS

Direct volunteers are the heart and soul of Montrose Grace Place, providing the safe, accepting relationships that our youth need to grow. Not just anybody has what it takes, but for the people who can make this commitment, this position is incredibly rewarding. They get to make a real connection with our youth and see the difference we are making in their lives. 

Direct volunteers eat family-style meals with youth, interacting as adult mentors by modeling positive, responsible behaviors and attitudes. They participate in the evening's activities with the youth, helping them choose clothing in the clothing closet and facilitating supportive discussions during group time. 
To become a direct volunteer, you must:
  • be at least 28 years old
  • pass a background check and references
  • be able to interact with youth in a safe, respectful manner, which includes respecting youth of all sexual orientations and gender identities
  • be willing to accept the secular nature of the program
  • commit to being at Montrose Grace Place at least two Thursdays a month for at least a year
  • fully complete our training program
