Volunteers are the heart of our organization.
We enthusiastically welcome your involvement! There are many ways to volunteer, all requiring different commitments in time and talent. We strive to work with each volunteer individually in assessing the best way to help FPS pursue its mission. To start the conversation, please complete our volunteer request form.
If you are already a volunteer, please be sure to join our POINT volunteer community and/or our Volunteer Facebook Group as that is the main way our Volunteer Coordinator communicates new opportunities!
Join an FPS Signature Event planning committee or help us on the day-of with set up, registration, and more! You can also volunteer to plan your own unique fundraising event.
Our 7 operating committees chart a path of success in our operations, annual development goals and future strategic initiatives. Guide our mission with your professional background skills!
Our Young Friends Society offers young professionals a chance to network, volunteer and fundraise. This is the perfect recipe for future success and provides a roadmap to philanthropy!
Partner your company with FPS for a corporate day of service! We host a "Take a Break" day that couples community service with the benefits of taking a mental break during the work day. We also recruit corporate volunteers for our signature events.
We offer volunteer opportunities for elementary through high school! Younger students can write notes to children traveling on an FPS respite and host donation drives for travel items using our Amazon wishlist. Older students can bring our mission to their school through by creating a Take a Break Club!
Help with clerical work at the FPS office in Plymouth Meeting and/or assist our program coordinators in creating respite packages and providing emotional support to the patients and caregivers we serve. We also host a monthly office volunteer group that meets one evening per month!
