Ways You Can Be a Part 

We believe in the value of mentoring and authentic, discipleship relationships.  We believe that truth is often caught better than it is taught.  Though our classes renew the intellect, the lives of our staff and volunteers are the example and the amplification of those truths lived out.  Because this example of truth lived out is so important, we are excited to offer several main ways for you to connect with girls in our program.  For each opportunity to work with the ladies in our program, Wellspring provides volunteers with training and continued support throughout the commitment.  We want to equip you to be the hands and feet of Christ.  Sign up below to get more information about volunteering in the Wellspring Home or Store.

Teach a Connection Class

The purpose of our Connection Classes is to teach women valuable life management skills.  Connection Classes are taught on a 6 month rotation by a team of volunteers who are organized by our Program Coordinator.  These classes are divided into three categories:  1. home (includes topics such as cooking, home organization and parenting)  2.  career (includes topics such as resume writing, budgeting and communication) 3.  Body, Soul and Spirit (includes topics such as nutrition, stress management and daily walk with God.) 

Be a Mentor

Mentors are women from the community with a desire to pour into the lives of the women of Wellspring one on one.  Mentors commit 4 hours every Tuesday evening to spending time offsite with one of the ladies in the Wellspring Program.  We ask that mentors continue to support their assigned lady for the duration of the program, and prayerfully even beyond graduation. 

Mentors are provided with training at a preliminary 3 hour seminar.  They are educated about the Core Values of our ministry at Wellspring, our Philosophy of Recovery, our Statement of Faith, Mentoring Guidelines, Mentoring 101 for new mentors (includes mentoring goals, tips for understanding the girls, and tips for the first mentoring night.)  Mentors will also recieve a list of great ideas about how to spend mentoring time! 

Volunteer at the Store

The Wellspring Store was created to help support the operation expenses of the Wellspring Program.  The store is run almost completely on volunteer power.  People who do not choose to teach in the home often give of their time to sort or price clothing, run the register, pick up furniture or a variety of different activities to support the ministry through the Wellspring Store.
