Volunteer
At The Meetinghouse, when you volunteer you become part of a team committed to creating a community hub where people can gather, grow and flourish.
All too often, the demands of life leave us feeling scattered and fragmented, disconnected from self and community.
Here at The Meetinghouse, we offer a place to:
- BE to nurture body, mind and soul;
- BELONG to community;
- BECOME fully alive to our life, work, and play.
