Get Involved

Front Office Volunteers serve at either Empowerment Village, our housing campus in Wine Country, or at the Hope Resource Center in Temecula. Volunteers are the first point of contact with our community members seeking help or those looking to help. Volunteers answer calls, respond to inquiries, support mailings, manage inventory, and more.

Individuals volunteer a minimum of one day per week for 3 hours and must be comfortable with computers and answering phones.

Volunteer maintenance team members help care for the Empowerment Village campus by supporting the upkeep of the grounds and homes. From landscaping and outdoor projects to minor home repairs and general maintenance, these volunteers play an important role in creating a safe, welcoming environment for the women and children who call Empowerment Village home. Their time and skills help ensure the campus remains a place of dignity, stability, and hope.

Community Outreach Volunteers help Mission Hope connect with the broader community by representing the organization at fairs, festivals, and special events. By hosting information tables and booths, volunteers share about the services available to neighbors in need and the many ways others can get involved. Their friendly presence helps raise awareness, build connections, and invite the community to be part of bringing hope to those we serve. Many of the outreach opportunities are on weekends or evenings.
