Volunteer Opportunities

  • Throughout the week, we distribute no-cost lunches to our community. Help us serve meals Monday–Friday, 10 AM – 1 PM.

  • Partner with us and local nonprofits to keep Soulsville’s streets clean and welcoming.

  • Introduce youth to sustainable living with a hands-on farm-to-table approach. Volunteers help plant, harvest, and maintain our garden, teaching healthier food habits along the way.

  • Turn retired climbing ropes into something new! Create dog leashes, toys, paracord jewelry, and artwork to display or sell in our gear shop—while showing the community how everyday items can be upcycled.

  • Every Tuesday from 10 AM – 1 PM, the Soulsville Community Closet provides clothing and groceries to our neighbors. Volunteers help restock, organize, and bag items throughout the week.

  • Climbing holds see a lot of chalk. Help us refresh and clean them so our walls stay safe and welcoming for all.

  • We’re seeking volunteers to work directly with middle and high school students—helping with tutoring, organizing daily activities, and even sharing your own craft by leading a class or special activity.
