Volunteer Opportunities

Student Volunteer Groups

Learn and give back

Homeward Bound of Marin welcomes middle and high school student groups for engaging service-learning experiences that combine community education with meaningful volunteer involvement. These include organizing a donation drive for essential items like toiletries and bedding, or hands-on activities like making cards for program participants.

A typical visit for student volunteer groups includes:

  • A 30-minute presentation introducing Homeward Bound’s mission, programs, and impact in the community.
  • A 30-minute guided tour of the main Novato campus, providing students with an opportunity to learn about the services offered and the people served.

Groups that organize a donation drive can combine this engaging one-hour visit with delivery of items collected for adults and families experiencing homelessness.

Student groups interested in a hands-on service project can collaborate with our staff to tailor an activity for the group that makes a difference in our programs. These extended volunteer experiences can last up to three hours and offer students a tangible way to contribute to the people we serve.

Are you interested in finding an opportunity for your student volunteer group? Get in touch with Community Engagement Coordinator Andrea Rey for ideas.

Please note: an adult contact (i.e., teacher, school administrator or parent volunteer) must serve as the primary organizer and liaison for student group activities.
