To ensure the health and safety of our residents, staff, and volunteers, Jerusalem House has modified our volunteer engagement opportunities.
To find out about our current menu of group service projects, please contact our Manager of Volunteer Services, Robin Reid at volunteer@jerusalemhouse.org.
Corporate teams, church groups, fraternities/sororities, civic groups, and others can have a great team-building experience at Jerusalem House. From painting and landscaping projects to hosting social activities for our residents, group service projects are a great way to give back and make a positive impact!
