Volunteer Opportunities

Whether you are interested in becoming a regular volunteer, bringing a team from church or work, completing community service hours, or simply wanting to spend a day expanding your philanthropy and seeing what we are all about, we are happy to have you and we are so thankful for your interest!

Volunteering makes a true difference in the lives of the adults we serve and in our daily operations. Our volunteers contribute to our mission in several ways, helping us offset operational costs so that we can continue to make tuition for our families affordable. Some of the ways our volunteers assist our efforts:

Front Desk: Monday through Friday, our volunteers run our front desk, assist with the sale of our homemade products, and help complete special projects for our administrative team. Front desk hours are 9 am-3 pm, Monday – Friday.

Working with Students: Trained volunteers assist our students regularly, working within the classrooms and assisting with elective programs to help our educational program run smoothly, attending community outings with our students, and fulfilling special project needs.

Corporate Groups: Bring your employee group for a day of giving back! We welcome corporate groups to schedule a day where your employees can visit with our students in our classrooms for special craft projects, or help us with many of our campus needs such as: landscaping, window cleaning, washing of our buses and vans, assisting with our BrightStone garden, and more.

Events: Our events would not be possible without the dedication of our volunteers, who help us set up, break down, run our onsite shops, assist with registration, man stations, and many other responsibilities before and on an event day.

Garden: Come help us tend to the crops that we use right here at BrightStone! Our master gardener and volunteer, Karen Rogers, leads our 1-acre garden program and invites older teens and adults to volunteer for this year’s growing season – and learn about gardening and growing vegetables.

Thank you to our 116 volunteers who dedicated their time and talents to BrightStone last year, resulting in 3,498 volunteer hours!
