Volunteer opportunities
with Harbour Hope:

Administrative & Communications Team

The Administrative and Communications Team plays a key role in advancing Harbour Hope’s mission by creating awareness, engaging supporters, and providing essential organizational support. Volunteers use creativity and administrative skills to craft written communications, create social media content, capture photos and videos, assist with Canva design, and support daily operations through tasks such as data entry, spreadsheets, mailings, thank-you notes, and phone calls—helping ensure our message of hope and empowerment reaches a broader audience while supporting the work that serves survivors.

Children’s Program

The Children’s Program offers a safe and creative environment for children to explore their inner worlds and establish meaningful connections with others. In addition, this program builds the social and emotional foundations necessary for success in life, empowering children to recognize their strengths and develop healthy identities.

Community Awareness

Community Awareness

The Community Awareness Team provides presentations on the dangers of human trafficking; how to recognize and report the signs of human trafficking. In addition, this team represents Harbour Hope at a variety of community events related to anti-trafficking efforts.

Events

The Events Team organizes, plans, and executes events designed to cultivate, recognize, and educate current and prospective donors and volunteers by hosting a variety of fundraising and community events throughout the calendar year. This fosters community awareness, gives opportunities for introductory volunteer opportunities, and provides fundraising support to the various programs of Harbour Hope. This team is looking for those that enjoy the many facets of putting on events.

Leadership Program

The Leadership Development program is designed to help survivors develop leadership habits, articulate their core values, and create personal mission statements. This program offers a safe space for survivors to share their experiences and build confidence in guiding themselves and others, while empowering them to lead fulfilling lives. 
 

Life Skills Program

Through our Life Skills Coaching Program, survivors are empowered to achieve independence through coaching on mental and emotional wellness, financial literacy, healthy nutrition and movement, and spiritual enrichment. Participants develop practical competencies while cultivating strong support systems through group and one-on-one coaching sessions.
 
Mentorship Program

Mentorship Program

This year-long Mentorship Program helps survivors rebuild trust, set personal goals, and develop healthy relationships. Each survivor is paired with a team of two mentors who walk alongside them as they transition into independent living. Mentors model healthy boundaries and healthy bonding, providing consistent support that emphasizes the value of meaningful connections and personal growth.
 
Prayer Team

Prayer Team

The Prayer Team provides support to the overall organization of Harbour Hope through prayer. This team will hold monthly prayer gatherings to lift the various needs of the ministry (survivors; volunteers; donors; community partners; church partners; and corporate partners).

They will also coordinate quarterly touches (calls, notes, letters) to encourage and support the various partners of Harbour Hope.

Special Projects

Special Projects volunteers support Harbour Hope in meaningful, hands-on ways throughout the year. From writing and mailing Christmas cards to packing care or grounding kits for the women and children we serve, these opportunities make a tangible impact. If you have a special talent—like crafting comfort items or sharing a creative skill—we welcome you to use it to bring hope and healing

Survivor Care Advocate

The Survivor Care Advocate provides personalized advocacy for families as they navigate the complexities of restoration and growth. In addition, this team serves as a bridge to empowerment, helping survivors dismantle the lies of the past to rebuild a foundation of truth, self-worth, and autonomy.

Together, we can make a difference
