Volunteer Interest Contact Information

Thank you for choosing to give your time and talents to one·n·ten! Our programs are only possible because of the amazing support we receive from our community. Thank you!

More than 30 years ago, we opened our doors as an entirely volunteer-run organization. Today we celebrate an ever-growing team of full and part time staff, along with hundreds of volunteers who continue to make our programs and services successful.

In 2025, the Volunteer Program is still evolving as we reimagine our volunteer opportunities to involve our community as often as possible, while intentionally creating safe spaces for our youth and young adults.

In an effort to build a better program we ask that you help us learn what will make our partnership better. Please help us understand in what ways you would like to volunteer.
