Volunteer FAQ's

  1. How old do I have to be to volunteer?

    You must be 18 or older to be a regular volunteer and volunteer by yourself. Any volunteer under the age of 18 must be with an adult at all times. We welcome children, ages 6 and up, to volunteer, as long as they are accompanied at all times by a parent/guardian. If you are a parent/child team and interested in volunteering, we request that each of you fill out an application form.

  2. I have a busy schedule. When are volunteers able to come in?

    We have volunteer opportunities every day of the week and our Volunteer Coordinator will work with your schedule to find an opportunity that matches your skill set and availability!

  3. What are the volunteer hours?

    Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Friday 10am– 5pm
    Thursday 10am – 7pm
    Saturday 8am – 3pm
    Sunday 8am – 12pm

  4. I need to do court appointed community service. What do you have available?

    We can no longer accept volunteers that are seeking court appointed community service hours.

  5. Can I get volunteer credit for my high school or college? Do I need to attend an orientation?

    We are happy to sign off on any volunteer hours successfully completed for junior volunteers. Hours must be completed independently with a parent or guardian.

    Attend an open volunteer orientation and then if you feel EHS is a good fit for your volunteer experience, we will send you an application to complete.
