Volunteers are the life blood of Micah House.

Volunteers help our ministry of hospitality come to life by helping to make Micah House a home for newly arrived refugees.

Our volunteers:

Help weekly as a "daytime volunteer"

• cleaning, shopping, gardening, or organizing the house
• helping our staff in the office
• taking guests to appointments, helping them find their way around the community, connecting our guests with community services
• translating for our guests
  

Help once or twice a month on evenings and weekend

• enjoying outings and community events with our guests
• helping our guests to learn English

Help as a “meal host”

• preparing an evening meal or weekend brunch at home or at Micah House to enjoy with our guests

Help weekly as  a “Global Friend”

• staying in touch with a  past guest, providing them with  friendly support as they settle into the community

Help occasionally

• fixing things around the house, delivering furniture
• repaint a room in the house to keep things fresh and clean
• supporting the staff and board with fundraising and special projects

If you want to volunteer at Micah House, the first step is to fill out a Volunteer Application Form:

For the safety of guests and volunteers Micah House requires everyone who spends time in the environment submit and keep current a police background check.    You can obtain this at a price from your local police station, or we can send you a link allowing you to complete the form online (which is then sent directly to us).  There is also a cost associated with this second option.

Micah House will accept a record check you have already obtained as long as it is not older than one year.
