Volunteers

History & Impact

Bertha Riel was the first volunteer at Henderson Settlement. In 1925 she converted a small cow barn into her home and a log cabin into the classroom she used for her first 13 students. We no longer house our volunteers in converted barns but the importance of volunteers has not diminished over the years

Volunteers come both out-of-state and from the local community to support our outreach programs. And they come for days, months or even years.

Volunteers can select specific programs to participate in or show up willing to help wherever needed in our 20 other community outreach programs.

We’d love to see you join the ranks of those who have made a positive difference in our community!!

Participate & Support

There’s a place here for everybody! While some folks know exactly what their skills, abilities & passions are - there might be others who aren’t quite sure.
Well - there’s no better way to figure that out than to become a volunteer at Henderson Settlement! Jump into any of our 21 programs and give yourself to serving others. You may have sore muscles by the end of your experience here but your spirit will be refreshed and your heart will be filled with the joy that comes from giving, sharing and making a difference.
