Volunteer Opportunities

The SHIELD Mentor Program welcomes volunteers from the entire community. It's a great way to feel good about yourself, connect with your community and help others. There are many ways to volunteer, depending on your time, interests and abilities. We have numerous volunteer opportunities ranging from mentoring to helping at special events. Below is a sampling of the many facets of our organization:

Mentors: help youth develop and reach positive personal goals. (View Details)

Background Checks: SHIELD reserves the right to conduct a background check on Mentors at any time. This includes a National Criminal Check, a National Sex Offender Check and an Identification Verification.

On-going Training and Support: SHIELD takes pride in its support and training of our volunteers.

Each volunteer will attend a monthly volunteer staff meeting as well as on-going trainings, when needed or requested.
