2026 Back to School – Volunteer Opportunities!
Help us make sure students start the school year with confidence!
Join EmberHope for a fun, hands-on volunteer opportunity as we pack backpacks filled with school supplies for children and youth preparing to head back to school. Whether you can volunteer for the entire day or just one shift, every helping hand helps ensure students have the tools they need for a successful school year.
Volunteers will assist with sorting donated school supplies, packing backpacks, and organizing materials for distribution. No experience is necessary—all supplies and instructions will be provided. This is an indoor, family-friendly volunteer opportunity that’s perfect for individuals, families, community groups, and businesses looking to make a meaningful impact together.
