Volunteer Opportunities

Know how to do a craft and would love to share your interest with others?

Understand the workings of a computer and can teach those less technology-inclined?

Want to help those in need?

If so, Diakon Community Services has extensive opportunities for you to volunteer. In fact, our volunteers have an amazing impact on the region each year. In 2019, for example, volunteers with Diakon Community Services gave more than 20,000 hours of service to aid their neighbors in need.

We hope you will consider adding to that number. Various volunteer-related documents are linked below.

Leading a class for active older adults
Packaging and delivering meals on wheels
