Volunteers are essential to the work that we are doing. We provide great volunteer opportunities for those looking for a powerful experience and a way to give back. We want to give you the opportunity to serve, grow, and become a part of our loving community while coming alongside us in our mission to Transforming Together, to be Love in Action, in a broken world!
Each week at Hope Waukee 250+ kids ranging from ages 3-12 come to experience our HopeKids program on the weekends. This weekly programming takes lots of prep work to ensure that each child experiences the love of God and is all taken care of. This will include preparing crafts, making weekly worship packs for the kids, helping to maintain supplies, brainstorming ideas, helping with themes and decorations. Reach out to me, Taylor, directly to get connected!
