Valley Outreach welcomes youth volunteers to help with the Food Shelf and StyleXchange clothing store! Youth volunteering has so many benefits.  Youth volunteers realize lifelong impact including increased self-esteem and responsibility,  using new social skills, promoting empathy, having an interest in learning and applying new skills, and overall greater life satisfaction!

General Age Guidelines for Youth Volunteering

Much of our volunteer work is completed in a warehouse environment, so the safety of youth volunteers is paramount. Please adhere to the following age requirements for youth volunteering.

• Teenagers 15 years old and up are welcome to volunteer (no parent or guardian required) in the food shelf, warehouse, and clothing programs.
• Youth ages 12 to 14 are welcome to volunteer with parent or legal guardian supervision in the food shelf and clothing program.
