Volunteer Options

Within our organization you have the option to serve with our SHTN Office & Events or at Garland Oaks. Our SHTN Office & Events option is great if you would like to partner with us, but maybe don't have the availability needed to serve with our residents, or if you are under 21. This opportunity will be on an as-needed basis. The other option is to serve at Garland Oaks with our 12-17 year old female residents. You will see more requirements and information for this option if you choose to continue the application process for the Garland Oaks option.
