Building Maintenance- Participants help with maintenance projects in and around The Dream Center and The Dream Center Resale Stores.  A quality finished project is our desire, therefore we must use volunteers who understand general trades including demolition, general carpentry, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, painting and landscaping.

​

Child Supervision- Take care of children so that parents/guardians can attend hour-long classes at The Dream Center. Must have a background check and interview completed through our office, and must be at least 17 years old, unless accompanied by an adult.

​

Intake Volunteer- The intake volunteer is the first official point of contact with our clients.  Using a Dream Center questionnaire, volunteers interview the client in order to determine their situation, guide them in prioritizing their needs, and develop an assistance plan. The Dream Center provides training, and the necessary resources for developing an assistance plan.
