    ๐ŸŽ‰ Events & Fundraising

    Be part of the energy that brings our mission to life in the community. From planning, promoting, and executing events youโ€™ll help make our fundraisers a success. These roles are great for people who enjoy being social, creative, and hands-onโ€”or who want to help just a few times a year in a big, meaningful way.

    ๐Ÿ’Œ Support from Home (Remote)

    Volunteer from anywhere, anytime. These roles include resource research, preparing & writing grant submissions (for critical program funding!), digital & data entry help, or spreading awareness online. Flexible and computer/couch friendlyโ€”no driving, no meetings, just impact from your own space.

  • We're looking for volunteer champions

    While one-time help is always appreciated, weโ€™re especially grateful for volunteers who feel called to step up consistently and lead with heart.

    Weโ€™re looking for Volunteer Champions โ€” people who can:

    • Support events or outreach efforts with consistency
    • Lead small teams of volunteers
    • Recruit others in their community

    If you feel passionate about our mission and want to take a deeper role, just let us know in your form response โ€” or reach out to us directly.

    Together, we can serve more families and help Gemmaโ€™s Hope grow.
