Volunteer

You may already know the success stories of our former foster youth who, despite the obstacles, are determined to create a better life.

Without their own families, their JIT “family” of volunteers may be the only resource they can count on as they move toward independence! What you may not know, is just how consistently satisfying and meaningful the JIT volunteer experience can be.

I've had the support of a loving family my whole life and cannot imagine what it must be like to be 18 and thrust into "adult" life with no support system. I have nothing but the strongest respect and admiration for these young people and consider it an honor to assist them. After all, young people are the only real hope this country has now aren't they? I am the one who is grateful for the opportunity to help! Thanks so much!

I love how JIT focuses on making a relationship with the youth, so the volunteers and JIT can actually feel like they are making a difference in someone's life… It amazes me how much JIT was able to give them!!!!! That's a dream come true for them and us. WOW, great work!!! Thank you for being welcoming and helpful with anything I needed since I was new! I hope to work with you again, and wish you the best of luck in the future!

I sure had a wonderful time at the College Bound event on Saturday, learning about your organization and working directly with “my” JIT youth. What a fabulous day. I had tears in my eyes for most of it, those “wow I need to be more thankful every day” kinds of tears. I have been in touch back and forth with my college bound youth by e-mail, and I know we will continue to be in touch. I enjoyed it tremendously, and I will guess that all the JIT youth and volunteers benefitted in many ways.

Opportunities

JIT offers many various opportunities to help—from donating gently used furniture and then helping to set up a youth’s first home, to planning and participating at our special events, to assisting with administrative tasks in our office, to data entry at home, etc. We'd love you to become a Just in Time volunteer.
