Volunteer Opportunities & Descriptions
Administrative | Office Work
Assists with inputting data, filing, organizing, shredding, and other admin-related tasks as necessary in and around the office. (Weekday only, training will be available.)
Building Projects
We are in need of carpenters who have specific skills to help build small projects on-site. We provide the tools and step-by-step building plans. You do need to possess knowledge of the use of basic tools or have the ability to follow directions from a staff member or the team lead.
Event Parking
You are the first person that someone interacts with on property, at our large events! You set the tone for our guests as we help them park while our guest drive on/off the property efficiently.
Facility Projects
Just like your home, there are always small ongoing facility projects on site. Some of the things are: power washing, painting, electrical, and plumbing (proof NC licenses are a must) are just a few examples.
Fundraising
Do you love meeting new people, planning, organizing, and helping share the RHF mission clearly? Then we would love to meet you and discuss this incredible gift that you have to help fundraise alongside of the RHF staff!
Grounds Keeping | Maintenance
The grass and weeds just keep growing and it takes an army of people to help maintain the property. We are always in need of volunteers to help with mowing, weed eating, edging, mulching, tree trimming, raking, and gardening. Our equipment will need quarterly maintenance as well with sharpening blades, changing oil, etc.
Heavy Equipment
Do you have experience working and operating heavy equipment…let us know so that we can add you to our list of qualified volunteers when the need arises.
Monthly Fun Events
Each month we host a large family fun event on-site here at Rick’s Place. To help make these events a success, it takes dozens of volunteers to help: set up, assist with the event, and clean up. To see a list of events and the volunteer opportunities, you can check out our event page to sign up for a specific volunteer role at a monthly fun event.
Photography/Videography
We love telling the story of RHF through pictures and videos! If you have that special eye, your own camera, and have skills to shoot and/or edit videos. We would love to have you come help tell our story so that we can keep sharing the mission of RHF!
Registration | Check-in
Are you an extrovert who loves people by starting the conversation with a warm, welcoming smile? If so, you can help welcome and check in our guests at our events. We will train and set you up for success to help answer the commonly asked questions, too!
Social & Outreach Events
As a staff we partner with other organizations out in the community and we need extra hands and voices to help share the RHF story! Throughout the year we set up an information booth to meet and share why we exist as we offer fun quality programs and events for the military community. Your voice could help let others know more about RHF | Rick’s Place.
Weekly Programming
We are always looking for new ideas to add to our weekly programs. If you have an idea to help us build out new, fun, quality programs we would like to meet with you to discuss it.
