We’re always looking for more people to help in our community programs. These programs are our mission in action. Take a look at our Volunteer Opportunities listed below. Each will have their own application process, so please follow the instructions listed next to the opportunity. If you have any questions, email us at the button below.
Some opportunities will require background clearances and/or training before you begin. Our staff will make arrangements with you to meet all requirements.
Be a Reading Buddy
Our reading buddies are paired with local classrooms where they provide one-on-one reading support to young students. This is an ongoing commitment; we will provide training, guidance, help with getting state clearances, carpools, and good fellowship. Learn more at the link below.
Garden with Us
Come help and learn in the grounds and gardens.
Volunteer hours are from 10am-3pm every Saturday.
Friends and neighbors get to know each other as we work in the grounds and satellite gardens and then have lunch at the picnic table.

Help Plant Trees in Fairhill
Trees give us shade and cooling. They give us beauty, and a feeling of calm.They capture carbon. Our neighborhood has the fewest trees of any in the city.
Our Fairhill Tree Tenders group (of PHS) has planted 130 street trees since 2012. Join us.
Take the Tree Tender training with PHS. Help us plant in April and November, and care for young trees.
For more information or to help with planting, please email us.
