Give Time
“The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention.” – Oscar Wilde
Volunteers are an important part of Partners in Housing, providing vital services in almost every aspect of our mission!
Depending on your interest and schedule, volunteer opportunities are available to individuals and groups. Due to privacy concerns for the families in our program, individual volunteers working in close proximity or directly with clients are required to complete a background check prior to volunteering with us.
Individual Volunteers
We have a wide variety of opportunities for anyone looking to help! We ask that individual volunteers commit to a monthly or weekly schedule depending on the preferred task.
Group Volunteers
Get your club, place of work, sports team, church, or friends together to support families transitioning from homelessness! One-time group volunteers often landscape and paint the interior of units after families have moved forward with our program or coordinate drives in our community.
If you would like to volunteer with Partners in Housing, please fill out this application and we will connect with you for next steps!

DELIVERING HOPE:
LIGHT-MEDIUM FURNITURE PICKUP/DELIVERY
This position is one of the quickest ways to make a big difference! You’ll pick up and deliver furniture so the families in our program have a bed to sleep on, a kitchen table to eat at, and all the things that make a house a home. We always make sure the items being picked up/delivered are within your comfort zone and volunteer shifts range from 45 minutes up to 4 hours. We have a box truck and passenger van available, or you can use your personal vehicle. Please let us know if you are interested in being a driver!

THE DREAM TEAM:
LANDSCAPING/PAINTING PROJECTS
Want to volunteer as a group? We would love your help getting our properties move-in ready for families starting their year-long journey with us! Trimming bushes, pulling weeds, mulching flowerbeds, and adding a new coat of paint really make our homes shine!
THE WARM WELCOME:
COLORADO HOUSE GREETER
At the Partners in Housing Resource Center, families stop by to attend classes/appointments, use our free donation center, and more! Greet families with a smile, walk them to their respective appointments, and assist with other front desk activities like answering the phones. During any downtime, there are plenty of ways to stay busy by tidying up the donation center, cleaning the community kitchen, or you’re also welcome to read a book or work on homework until the next family arrives!
