If you are interested in being involved with the festival but are unsure if you can commit to the board member requirements, we are seeking volunteers to join committees based on their skill sets. We are recruiting for the following positions:

At Mary’s Home, we offer intentional support and resources to our resident families in order to help meet any area of need they may be experiencing.

These events may include going to a workshop for personal or vocational development, attending a Mary’s Home Alumni Brunch on a Saturday, or even having an evening out with other Mary’s Home mothers to steward community. These are rare opportunities for our resident mothers to practice self-care and be more involved in healthy community. Mary’s Home is building a Child Watch Team so the residents have the freedom to engage in these meaningful events. The Child Watch Volunteers are responsible to provide dependable, safe, secure, and nurturing care to the resident and alumni children.

The Master's Apprentice is a faith based non-profit operating a 6 week pre-apprentice. We are in need of volunteers to join us as Coaches. Our coaches teach our soft skill curriculum and our hands on labs that prepare our students for careers in the trades!

No prior experience in the trades needed. Be part of something meaningful, make a difference in someone's life! Courses include financial literacy, work ethics, construction math, career prep, plumbing and electrical labs and woodshop. All curriculum is provided and staff supported.

If you do not wish to teach, you can also help in the class as a support role. Commitment is two mornings or afternoon sessions (3.5 hours) per week for 5 weeks. Our classes run every two months so you can choose the best time period for your lifestyle.

If you do not have the time to commit to volunteering, you can join in helping our students practice interviews. This looks like joining for 2 hours, once or twice a month to sit and conduct mock interviews with students, providing feedback on performance.

Project Helping volunteers will help honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy by coming together in service, compassion, and community action. Our central focus is a large-scale food drive supporting Denver Public Schools Foundation's Community Hubs, which provide essential resources to students and families across Denver. 

Volunteers are highly encouraged to bring non-perishable items to help stock the Community Hubs' food pantry. Your donations will directly support local families experiencing food insecurity and ensure children have consistent access to nourishment outside of school hours. 

In addition to the food drive, volunteers will also assemble Dignity Kits - carefully curated hygiene kits designed to support our unhoused neighbors with comfort, essentials, and dignity. We'll have all the supplies on-site for the kit assembly, so volunteers can easily help build and assemble each kit.
