VOLUNTEER

JOIN OUR FAMILY AND HELP US MAKE AN IMPACT.

Volunteers are the backbone of our family, helping us fulfill our mission to provide a safe and affirming place for vulnerable youth in our community. Whether you’d like to commit to creating long-lasting, healthy relationships with youth as a Direct Mentor, or have a free Saturday afternoon to help us out in Tracy's Closet, we want you to be a part of our family.

DIRECT MENTORS
Direct Mentors are the heart and soul of Montrose Grace Place, providing the safe, affirming, and healthy relationships that our youth need to thrive. Direct Mentors get to make a real connection with our youth and see the difference we are making in their lives through shared meals, clothing shopping, activities, and group discussion.

Eat family-style meals with youth and engage with youth during Youth Nights
Affirm youth of all sexualities and genders, modeling positive, responsible behaviors and attitudes
Commit to serving two Mondays or Thursdays a month for one year
