Volunteer Opportunities
at Palomar
Option 1: Volunteer at a Community Service Event
Service projects are hosted every other month on weeknights or weekends, perfect for those with full-time obligations. These projects provide a hands-on introduction to Palomar’s mission and a tour of our agency.
Option 2: Stock Our Comfort Café
Our Comfort Café is a vital space where survivors and their families find nourishment and comfort while they are pursuing services. We invite you to join us in selecting a date to stock the Café!
Note: More information about donation drop off and items will be sent out upon registration.
Option 3: Join Us as an Onsite Volunteer
For those interested in consistent involvement and working directly with survivors, these roles require:
- A completed background check
- 2-year gap since receiving Palomar services (if applicable)
