Volunteers have always been critical to the success of Martha’s Place. They have helped us achieve tremendous accomplishments since 1996 and continue to play a vital role in our ongoing work. Listed below are several areas of opportunity for those interested in volunteering with Martha’s Place.
Wellness Wednesday speaker: Martha’s Place provides ongoing programming for our women in the form of resident outings and weekly wellness group meetings. Wellness Wednesdays speakers help coordinate these activities by delivering their own wellness sessions each Wednesday to our women in the program. We encourage volunteers passionate about certain topics to lead their own workshop with our women!
Resident support: Volunteers interested in the addictions counseling field can gain experience by sitting in on counseling and case management sessions with the Addictions Counselor and Program Director. They will help type notes, do personalized resource research for each resident they work with, and maintain resident files. They are also encouraged to meet regularly with residents.
Garden/general maintenance: The Martha’s Place garden and Choose Life Memorial garden need regular maintenance such as weekly mowing, weekly trash pick-up, weed pulling, planting of flowers and other plants, and mulching. Volunteers are greatly appreciated to help with these tasks to keep the garden looking beautiful during the spring, summer, and fall.
