Volunteer
The Wilson House is Volunteer-Powered!
If you are interested in joining our team of superstar volunteers, we would love to hear from you. The Wilson House is historically significant as the birthplace of Bill Wilson, the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, making it a meaningful place for service work. This is an awesome opportunity to give back and to pass it on!
Requirements:
- At least one year of continuous sobriety.
- The ability to put in a day’s work with various types of activities.
- The ability to work alone and also as a team member.
- The willingness to share your talents and to learn new tasks.
- While volunteering at The Wilson House, we ask that you keep in mind the tenets of the AA program to put “principles before personalities.” It is in the best interest of the house that we all work as a team. If you are unable or unwilling to work with others or take direction from an experienced volunteer, then maybe this is not for you. The goal of volunteering at The Wilson House is to provide a spiritual, stress-free experience for all those at the house e.g. guests, visitors, volunteers, and staff. Please give this some thought and consideration before applying. Thank you.
An Opportunity to Make a Difference
The Wilson House has an ongoing need for volunteers, especially in the areas of general housekeeping, dining room and, during winter months, snow shoveling and other cold weather-related tasks! If you need to brush up on any of these skills, perhaps before applying to full-time jobs, The Wilson House is the place!
Flexible time commitment options
If you can give two weeks, that would be terrific. If you can only give one week – that would be good too, or if you just have a long weekend we may be able to fit you into the schedule. Please note the dates you would be available to work on your application. If you are taking a week or two assignment, they are Sunday to Sunday.
In short, fill out an application and we will do our best to fit you into our schedule.
Join a Community Dedicated to Service and Growth
There is no better experience in personal and spiritual growth than to give to others. You will enjoy a comfortable room, great food, and the fellowship of other program people. It doesn’t get better.
