Volunteer opportunities include administration, independent living skills (cooking, personal finance, crafts) and transportation.
In kind donations are accepted as gifts off our Household Requests List OR as $10+ gift cards to stores.
Your generous offers impact for immediate needs and services for survivors of sexual exploitation and trafficking.
Staying aware and educated about human trafficking in your community is crucial. Understanding the signs and realities of trafficking helps identify and assist victims, potentially saving lives. An informed community can deter traffickers, support survivors, and advocate for stronger laws and resources. Ultimately, awareness and education empower communities to protect their most vulnerable members and foster a safer, more just society.

At Terebinth Refuge we classify two types of sponsors. Our general sponsors and our Church of the Month program. These donors are those who form a committed working relationship with our program.
If you wish to sponsor Terebinth Refuge today, contact our office.
We have ongoing opportunities to serve in these areas:
From your home ‘pray where you are’:
Administrative; coming into the Terebinth Office/serving with office staff:
Handy Person projects at one of our homes or office:
Working directly with residents at one of our homes:
For continuity of services, and because we value relationships and train our volunteers, we do ask that volunteers who work directly with Terebinth Refuge program participants serve consistently (weekly, monthly, or quarterly). However, many events or maintenance tasks can be one-off volunteer opportunities.
For our ongoing volunteers, you must be at least 19 years old. For transportation volunteers, you must be at least 21 years old and hold a valid driver’s license and insurance.
For group activities, including donation organizers, you need to be at least 13 years of age. Those who are under age 18 must always be supervised by an adult.
Yes, our volunteer opportunities can be scheduled during evening hours or on the weekends.
We do not.
No. You bring your interest/skill area, and we will train you to serve alongside our women.
Absolutely. To maintain the safety and security of our residents, staff, and volunteers, a criminal background check is required as well as fingerprinting. Volunteers that serve directly with our residents must be trauma-informed, practice healthy boundaries, complete required training, sign a confidentiality agreement, undergo a background check, and fingerprinting. Terebinth Refuge provides this at no charge to you for the background check, but the cost is $44.00 so we do ask volunteers to consider donating (if they are able) $44.00 to Terebinth so that we do not take money away from programming for the women to cover these costs. The cost (approximately $10.00) of fingerprinting is the volunteer’s responsibility.
We do have opportunities for groups of people to serve, including organizing and sorting donations, lawn care and clean-up, outside house projects, serving at fundraising events, and helping with our mailings. All group volunteer opportunities will be posted on the Terebinth Refuge website Volunteer page.
That will depend primarily on the activity. We have had volunteer groups as small as 2 and as large as 15. If you have a larger group that is interested in volunteering, please contact the Volunteer Coordinator to discuss what options are available.
If you are interested in volunteering at Terebinth Refuge, please fill out the Volunteer Interest Form to share a bit about yourself. As needs arise, our Volunteer Coordinator will be in touch.
Your generosity impacts and supports the needs and services of survivors of sexual exploitation and trafficking. Together we can be the answer to this horrific problem in our community. Help us be a place where hope and healing grows.
