VOLUNTEERING WITH UP AND OVER

Volunteers are the heartbeat of Up and Over. When you give your time and energy, you bring hope, encouragement, and connection to people who need it most. From handing out essentials in outreach to supporting youth programs or helping at community events, every volunteer plays a part in lifting others up and over the barriers in their lives.

Why Volunteering Matters

• You make a direct impact—every hour spent creates change in someone’s day.

• You help build stronger,

  more compassionate communities.

• You grow too—through new friendships, skills, and perspectives.

What Makes a Great Volunteer

You don’t need special qualifications to make a difference. The most valuable qualities are:

• Compassion – approaching others with kindness and respect.

• Reliability – showing up when you commit, big or small.

• Openness – listening and learning from people’s unique journeys.

• Teamwork – working together to create lasting impact.

If you’re ready to bring your heart, your hands, and your hope, you already have what it takes to be a great volunteer.
