Background
Checks Required

Because safety is a high priority for us, we will walk you through a background check process. As a grace-based ministry, we want to extend grace to all residents, guests, staff, and volunteers. If you expect something to appear on your background check, please contact us to discuss it. If you have a recent background check from another organization, you can submit that instead of running a new one.

What to Expect

We want volunteering to feel safe, supported, and meaningful for everyone involved.

When you volunteer with Shepherd’s House, you can expect:
‍

  • Clear guidance and expectations
    ‍
  • Respectful, supportive staff
    ‍
  • Opportunities to ask questions and learn
    ‍
  • A commitment to dignity and care for all
