Volunteer Opportunities

Community volunteers help us enhance our programs in a variety of ways.  We have many opportunities for groups and individuals to play a role improving the lives of young people in our community.  Have an idea?  Let us know! Contact us, get “plugged in”, and join our mission of helping troubled teens become productive adults.

To learn more about volunteer opportunities or to share your ideas, please contact our Development Team at 812.479.7535 or email marketing@umyh.com.  

Ask your church or group to gather needed items for our kids:

  • Hygiene Items

  • School Supplies

  • Breakfast Items

  • Clothing

In-Kind Needs

Each month on the 3rd Thursday we invite the residents and their families to join us here for dinner. We have a therapist who provides an activity. This opportunity included providing dinner and helping serve it to them!

  • Spread the word about our ministry!

  • Invite others to get involved!

  • Be the official representative at your congregation, club, company, or other group.

    More detailed information can be found on  the Ambassador Page.

UMYH residents and students celebrate all Holidays and they love getting special treat baskets.

This opportunity includes creating and donating baskets!

Once our kids leave UMYH we want to make sure that they remember their goals, accomplishments, and life lessons. So we send with them a Scrapbook of the memories made here.

We supply all the materials – come put together these keepsakes!

Skilled in carpentry, construction, car maintenance, or landscaping? We’re looking to spruce up our campus! 

Projects may include:

  • Painting 
  • Lanscaping
  • Pressure Washing 
  • Cleaning 
  • Building
  • Maintenance

Come and visit our youth discuss your job, hobbies, or special skills!

Do you have a talent? Are you a part of a group that performs or sings?

You are welcome to come and share your talents with us!

No performance is too big or too small!

Come play board games, card games, or get outside! 

This is a great opportunity for a small group to come one evening and interact with our kids!

Weekends preferred during school.
