The Meadowlark Front Desk
The Meadowlark is a very busy place! We are looking for friendly and compassionate volunteers to greet building residents, answer the phone, direct walk-in clients to appropriate services, and assist with other projects.
Advocate for Survivors
Advocate volunteers join our staff team in providing crisis intervention and emotional support to survivors of domestic and sexual violence, stalking, and human trafficking. Volunteers answer the crisis line, take shifts in the shelter, provide group meals for residents, staff the walk-in counseling center, and foster pets for shelter residents.
Become a GUTS! Mentor
GUTS! is a community-based leadership program for girls and gender-diverse youth. GUTS! volunteers are caring, supportive, open-minded mentors committed to creating a safe environment for young people to join in group activities and discuss real issues in their lives. GUTS! volunteer training is held twice a year.
Learn more about the GUTS program here. To learn more, email GUTS or complete the GUTS volunteer application.
Support Kids at The Meadowlark
Volunteers in the Youth Services program facilitate group activities for infants through teens, designed to help children who have experienced violence and/or housing instability build resilience. Volunteers hold babies during Toddler Time, provide homework help to school-aged children, and lead workshops like tie-dying and bike repair.
Volunteer at Secret Seconds
Help sort, price, organize, and serve customers at our Secret Seconds Thrift Stores. Our stores provide critical funding to all YWCA Missoula programs, and volunteering is a great way to support us.
