Our Volunteers

Qualified Volunteers
Jericho Road volunteers are all experienced in their field and are carefully selected based on their skills, interests, and professionalism. Qualified volunteers must be able to listen carefully to the needs of the nonprofit, as they become a working member of the nonprofit's team.

The Volunteer Experience
Jericho Road works to provide its volunteers with a deeply meaningful experience. Because volunteer assignments are typically short in nature, carefully monitored, and with a clearly defined beginning and end, many business men and women find volunteering with Jericho Road particularly attractive.

Volunteer Opportunities are available for all types of professionals, regardless of the number of hours you can contribute. Even if your skills don't match today's current opportunities, we never know when a client might come to Jericho Road with a requirement that will interest you!

The Volunteer Process:

1. Meet for coffee with someone from the Jericho Road Lawrence team to learn more about the program and to describe your professional background.
2. Decide which of your professional skills you want to offer to a Lawrence nonprofit.
3. Specify up front how much time you are willing to commit.
4. Choose a project that appeals to you based on your skills, hobbies, interests, and availability.
5. Attend a no-obligation meeting with the nonprofit to get to know them and hear about the project from their perspective.
6. After the meeting, YOU decide if it's the right project for you.
7. Write a Scope of Work with the nonprofit to be sure the same expectations are understood by everyone.
8. Check in with a Jericho Road team member during the project and record the project outcome at the end.
9. Celebrate.
