Individual Volunteers

Thank you for considering WARM for volunteering. WARM is open Monday - Saturday, 10 AM - 4 PM. We ask that, when you Volunteer, you give us at least 2 hours of your time. Completing the application process does not guarantee acceptance into the program. Service placement is at the discretion of WARM. If you are volunteering to obtain service hours for school or a club, we will gladly fill out your organization’s paperwork for your service once you have completed your time requirement.

Click on the graphics below to perform steps 1 - 4 (note that step 5 will be an email from us, and step 6 will be in person).


To help your volunteer service be as fruitful and enjoyable as possible, we have developed the Volunteer Standards & Guidelines. We created WARM's Standards & Guidelines to communicate what you can expect from WARM and what WARM expects from you as a volunteer. While volunteering at WARM, we ask that you carefully observe these Standards & Guidelines.

We need to gather information to communicate with you, find out the best times for you to serve, and see if you have any experience that would be a specific help to WARM.

All volunteers, 18 or older, are subject to a background check. These checks help protect WARM, our employees, care recipients, and volunteers. Volunteer background checks cost $12 each and they can take up to 72 hours for the service (backgroundchecks.com) to complete. Please know that we don't want the cost of a background check to stop you from volunteering. Use this LINK, and WARM will pay the fee.

Please DO NOT complete if you are UNDER 18 (you can skip Step 3).

MINORS STOP! Please have your parent or legal guardian use this form — VOLUNTEER RELEASE FOR MINORS

The Volunteer Release Agreement ensures that the volunteer has read the Standards & Guidelines, provides for indemnification of WARM, allows us to obtain medical assistance, and provides a photographic release.

Once you have completed the first four (4) steps of this process, one of our volunteer coordinators will reach out to you to schedule your orientation. Please watch your email, including your junk mail folder.

During your orientation, we will set your initial schedule to volunteer.

Welcome to the team, we are blessed to have you!


Minors Volunteering

WARM allows for minors to volunteer; you must be in Jr. or Sr. High School. You must be 16 or older to volunteer by yourself. Those under 16 will need to be accompanied by a parent/guardian or chaperone as part of a group (i.e. church youth group).
