​IMPORTANT: ​All volunteers who will be relationally investing in our residents are required to attend a volunteer training led by our staff at The Nest. There will be a series of paperwork, background checks, training and group sessions before you may begin your volunteering. For this reason, we ask that you would be serious in your intentions to invest in The Nest, it's staff and residents. We do not say this to intimidate you, but to prepare you for what is ahead!

​Volunteer Trainings are held as-needed. Please email us to find out when the next training may be. :)
