Volunteer Portal
Our mission is to bring people together to build relationships. We have many ways to connect and help in our community. We hope you can join us!
Summer Friendship & Learning Program
This is our biggest program, working alongside refugee neighbors. Adults and kids of all ages are included. Adult volunteers help run stations for our adult refugee learners; adults and students run our kids’ program and childcare. Special helpers assist with our program for kids with special needs.
Our summer dates are Fridays, June 13, 20, 27 and July 11, 18, 25. Each program runs from 9:30-Noon. Lunch is often served (Noon-1pm) and all are invited to stay to continue building relationships. Sign-up dates open in April 2025.
Friendship Partner
Radical Love is launching a new program called “Friendship Partners,” where we pair people from different cultures in the hopes of building friendships and strengthening our community. Training will be provided and introductions will be made by our staff and Outreach Coordinators. Friendship partners connect at Radical Love events and grow the relationship organically. Get to know our refugee neighbors; when you know someone by name, everything changes.

Pack Snack Bags
Our 2025-26 sign-up is here! Gather a group of friends, neighbors, sports team or club and help us feed children in our community. Groups work together to pack lunch-sized bags with snack food and deliver the bags to local schools and housing complexes.
Serve Day
Our refugee neighbors love helping in the community. Join us as we work together to make a difference. In April, we are providing and serving dinner to our neighbors at Shepherd’s Heart Food Pantry. Ages 6 and up.
Teacher Appreciation Team
We partner with 12 schools and housing complexes in our community. Some of these schools have little to no PTO presence, and we want to celebrate the teachers and staff that give so much to our children. Help us by delivering donuts to schools and housing complexes.Radical Love will provide the donuts; we just need help making deliveries.
Care Team
Make meals to help refugee families in need. Join our CARE TEAM and you’ll receive a message when a Radical Love refugee family has a life event such as a new baby, a move, surgery, or death in the family. Care Team members that can help with that need would respond, then make and deliver a meal to that family.
One-Time
Volunteer Projects
Add your name to the list to be contacted when we have one-time, quick, at-home projects that you and your kids can help with. Examples of this would be stuffing newsletters, opening and sorting boxes of gloves and hats, and pumping up soccer balls.
