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.
