VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Thank you for your interest in GO-DRN. The volunteers within our network offer unique gifts and talents that bring life to our organization. Without your help, we could not operate. Join others who share the same compassion of serving others in times of need. You do not have to be GO-DRN trained for all volunteer opportunities. If you are called to serve, we have a position that is perfect for you. Choose your pathway to volunteer and help by Bringing Hope Into Crisis.
Anyone from the community is welcome to sign up as a Community Volunteer at any time, in or out of disaster response, without joining into the Network. In disaster, Community Volunteers who share our compassion to help those in crisis are essential to the response impact we have in meeting survivor needs quickly and efficiently.
If you’d like to volunteer with us, please contact us.
By joining GO-DRN’s network of churches, an individual has the option to:
- Advance through our special training program pathways
- Work directly with survivors through various volunteer opportunities
- Deploy with GO-DRN wearing our official Blue T-Shirt and Badge recognized as an official identification during deployment
- See below for additional Network benefits
GO-DRN t-shirt and badge will be available only to volunteers who complete online volunteer registration, agree to the Statement of Faith and complete an Orientation and Preparedness course. (Volunteers with a sex offender offense on their record or convicted of any crimes against minors will not be able to receive a GO-DRN badge or blue t-shirt).
Disaster Relief Shepherd (DRS) teams offer emotional, spiritual and physical support to families who have lost everything in a disaster. DRS teams consist of trained volunteers who work in partnership with the Church and dedicated GO-DRN staff members to shepherd families through the recovery process, walking with them every step of the way until they’re back on their feet and in safe and clean homes.
