Employees of Phillips Alaska paint a Hope home for United Way's Day of Caring.

DIRECT CARE — Since each person who chooses services from Hope Community Resources, Inc. (Hope) is unique, so are their specific needs for support. Many of the requests we receive from individuals are for people to accompany them to events, to participate in story reading and to assist with arts and crafts. These requests vary from day to day.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, contact the Public Relations Network for an application. Once applications are received, the volunteer coordinator will share your interests with the direct care staff and Hope will then try to match you up with individuals who are looking for the same things you are. This is a wonderful way to learn about Hope, our mission and the individuals we serve.

Please note that anyone wishing to work directly with the individuals who choose Hope’s supports must be 19 years or older. Since volunteers must meet many of the same requirements as employees (ie: mandatory criminal history check and fingerprinting) and costs are involved, we ask that each volunteer make a commitment to the agency for a minimum of six months.

SPECIAL EVENTS — This is where the bulk of Hope’s volunteer needs fall. With numerous fund raising events throughout the year, people power is always a necessity. A complete list of the events that Hope holds each year can be found at Special Events.





Hope employees volunteer their time to landscape a new home.

HELPING HANDS — Summer time is a busy season for Hope and the numerous single-family homes that it maintains. Each year there is a list of small projects that need to be done, which Hope's maintenance staff may not be able to prioritize. The Helping Hands project brings community and staff members together to try and accomplish some of these projects, which include landscaping, painting and minor home repairs. This is a good volunteer opportunity for service groups or companies that want to get involved with Hope.
