VOLUNTEER TO SUPPORT YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH
Looking to make a lasting impact in the lives of Iowa’s children? Volunteer with Orchard Place and help us Develop Strong Futures!
Last year, Orchard Place provided more than 5,500 services to children and families across Iowa – empowering them to find hope, healing, and resilience in the face of mental health challenges. Explore upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, and ways to give through our volunteer portal.
Please note: All volunteers must be 18 or older to participate at the Orchard Place Residential Campus.
If your group would like to volunteer on a different date, please reach out! We’ll be happy to discuss available options!
