Volunteer FAQ
What kind of opportunities are available?
There are several opportunities to serve at African Vision of Hope: it can be as simple as helping with a bulk mailing, special events, sorting inventory, or loading donations.
How do I sign up for an opportunity?
Fill out the form above or stop in the office at 17 Professional Park Dr in Maryville. We are also available over the phone to answer any questions at (618) 288-7695.
How much time do I need to volunteer?
This is really up to you! You can find volunteering opportunities that only take one hour per month, to a few days a week. Some roles are for one-off events, some are short-term, and others might need a weekly commitment. You can volunteer whenever it works into your schedule. While most volunteering takes place during office hours, there are occasional opportunities when you can volunteer during evenings or weekends.
Will I get training?
Yes, we will show you step by step what you need to do, and you are always welcome to ask any questions along the way.
Can I volunteer from home?
Volunteering from home is an increasingly popular way of serving. We have many groups that take on big projects and work on them from the comfort of their homes. Example opportunities include preparing sewing kits, hygiene kits, and school supply bags.
How old do I have to be to volunteer?
While there are no age limits for volunteering, we ask anyone 16 and under to be with a parent, guardian, or a teacher when volunteering in person.
Can I volunteer with my family or friends?
Some opportunities are suitable for group volunteering, but they need to be approved and planned in advance. Please call our office if you have a group interested in volunteering together. We have had many schools, homeschool organizations, as well as fraternity and sorority groups volunteer with us.
None of these FAQs answers my question. What do I do now?
If we haven’t covered your question, please get in touch with us and we’ll be happy to help. You can call the office Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM, at (618) 288-7695.
