At the “Heart of the Mission”, UGM volunteers become the hands and feet of Christ as they help reach and meet so many needs. Their gift of service reaches hundreds of people one-to-one each day.
We match volunteers with the needs within the Mission’s ministries. There are a great variety of volunteer positions...for every age, experience and ability.
Individuals, couples, business people, farm workers, college students, mid-high students, teachers, families, retired people...you!
