Volunteers are often needed at Killingsworth. If you choose to share your time, your talents and your skills with the women of Killingsworth you will not only bless us and receive our deep gratitude, you may also receive a blessing for yourself.

PRAY for the residents and staff
Site volunteers must be at least 21 years of age. Student internships are considered case by case, depending on our need and the requirements of the educational institution. We make an effort to partner with our local colleges and tech schools.
All volunteers will interact with our residents at some point. Your attitude, expressions and interest in serving others can enhance their journey and growth. It may change your life too. We believe the healthy, loving, and challenging relationship our residents have with the staff and volunteers is one way God works the mystery of grace.
Please contact our volunteer coordinator Evelyn Colter-Sims at info@killingsworth.org if you are interested. Orientation and training is normally part of your first service, if required. The staff member on duty would assist you as needed until you are comfortable on your own. Negative Covid-19 results within past three days is required to serve as volunteer. Masks are required for all staff and volunteers.
* Individuals or groups interested in social, family-oriented or employment skills workshops or Bible studies are asked to submit a proposal to the Program Manager.
