Community Support
Show up where it matters.
Volunteers make IAF’s events, workshops and programs possible. Whatever you bring — hours, a skill or a hand on event day — there is a way to help.
Ways to Help
Bring what you have.
IAF is a growing organization, and volunteer roles grow with it. These are the areas where community members most often step in.
Workshops
Help facilitate hands-on sessions — cooking, budgeting, interview practice, Adulting 101.
Program Support
Behind-the-scenes work: preparing materials, organizing supplies, assembling resources for youth.
Community Initiatives
Drives, seasonal projects and partnerships that bring more of Clark County alongside foster youth.
Professional Skills
Design, accounting, legal, marketing, trades, HR, IT — skilled hours go a long way at a small nonprofit.
Outreach
Represent IAF at community events, connect us with partners and help more young people find us.
Two Different Roles
Volunteering and guiding are not the same thing.
Both matter. They ask for different commitments, and they have different processes.
General Volunteer
Supports IAF’s events, workshops, programs and community work. Often episodic — you can help at a single event or on an ongoing basis. Not matched one-to-one with a young person.
