Youth Volunteer Opportunities

Below are some youth-friendly volunteer opportunities for outreach and service hours from our community partners and the Cathedral's parochial entities.

Intown Collaborative Ministries

General volunteer opportunities at Intown Collaborative Ministries can take up to 9 volunteers on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 9:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. for help in their food pantry. The minimum age to volunteer during pantry hours is 11 with an adult. For youth 13-16 they ask for a 3:1 youth to adult ratio, and 16 and up can volunteer on their own. Younger groups can volunteer during "pack-out" events for hygiene kits or snack packs for homeless outreach.

All volunteers must:
