Volunteer
Let’s make a difference together!
Join us in the work of bringing hope and future to Tulsans in need! Lives are being changed at the Mission, and we couldn’t do without the volunteers who partner with us every day. You have been gifted in ways that we need! All community service and group volunteer opportunities are scheduled through our volunteer coordinator.
Further inquiries may be directed to the volunteer coordinator at volunteer@john316mission.org or by calling 918.574.8620.
