Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers are at the heart of the Families in Transition family. They play an integral role in helping us provide needed support for homeless individuals and families.
FIT provides many different opportunities to its volunteers. In addition to individual volunteers and interns, we welcome group efforts and are happy to organize special projects to accommodate your church, school, service organization, or business group.
Ways you can get involved:
- Help out in our preschool or after-school programming at the Family Place, our new therapeutic center for FIT youth participants.
- Organize a food drive for our emergency food pantry or collect clothes to donate to OutFITters Thrift Store.
- Provide clerical support in one of our offices by answering phones, entering data, and filing.
- Intern in our clinical or youth departments. Applications are always being accepted, and can be obtained by e-mailing volunteer@fitnh.org.
- Help our maintenance department with landscaping, painting, and repairing our properties.
- Sort and organize donations at one of our OutFITters Thrift Stores, located in Manchester and Concord. Click here to download a flyer to show to interested groups.
