Volunteer
Our work within the community would not be possible without the involvement of passionate and generous people like yourself. Individuals and groups can partner with Safe Harbor’s programs in a variety of ways, multiplying the impact of the services and care given every day to our clients in Anderson, Greenville, Oconee, and Pickens counties.
This summer and fall, Safe Harbor will be moving into a new Greenville campus where our administrative offices, community services, and new (and larger) shelter will be housed. Because the move is and will be needing our staff's attention and careful preparation, we are temporarily offering a smaller selection of ongoing volunteer opportunities.
Rest assured, though, that after our move into the new Greenville campus is complete, there will be more volunteer opportunities that will connect into the daily work of our mission and care for clients!
Start exploring below the many ways you can make a difference with Safe Harbor!
