Volunteer Opportunities


The High Desert Men's Summit cannot take place without the help of dozens of dedicated volunteers. Perhaps as many as 200 volunteers will be needed on site on September 12-13, 2008. Our hope is to challenge, encourage and enrich men...and we pray that every man present will be free to attend the entire event. For this to be possible, we need the help of lots of women, but we know many men will be led to serve as well. Certain jobs and tasks will require specific skills or abilities, such as knowledge of computers, but many volunteer assignments will only require a heartfelt desire to see men's lives changed. Below is a list of volunteer opportunities. Please look them over and consider helping in any way you can. There is a form to be completed if you wish to volunteer, which can be accessed in the navigation menu to the left or at the bottom. We'd love to hear from you!
