Volunteer

We Have A Role for You

At Everett Gospel Mission, every meal served, every bed prepared, and every smile shared is made possible because people like you give your time and your heart. Volunteers are the hands and feet of our work—bringing dignity, hope, and compassion to men, women, and children experiencing homelessness and poverty in Snohomish County.

Why Volunteer?

When you volunteer, you’re doing more than filling a shift—you’re helping to change lives. Whether you’re serving meals, sorting donations, offering a listening ear, or supporting special events, you’re reminding our neighbors in need that they’re not forgotten.

Who can volunteer?

Poverty 101 and Special Meal Service opportunities are open to volunteers 14 and up with an accompanying parent/guardian. 
Ongoing volunteer opportunities are open to adults 18 and up. 

While we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit for community service purposes, our volunteer program is not designed to accommodate mandated/elected community service requirements. We offer 6 hours of volunteer training almost every month, however we cannot guarantee available volunteer opportunities (specifically timeliness) in accordance with community service requirements.
