Volunteer Opportunities

We provide life-transforming opportunities for urban youth, and have a number of programs that address the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of the individual. All CFM volunteers must attend our informative volunteer orientation, and successfully complete a background check.

College Students may be able to obtain credit for their Ministry Practicum or other internship requirements through CFM.

Please see our Volunteer Handbook to learn more.
