SOLID GROUND Program Volunteers
IMPORTANT
To ensure the safety of our children & staff, applicants must be 18 years if age & are subject to a background check

The compassionate adults who give their time to help with our SOLID GROUND evening program have a wide variety of skills and availability. Because everyone is different in what they can or want to do, or when they are available, we need a large number of volunteer mentors! Many of these positions cross over, so one person may cover more than one area on a given day.
Most importantly, SOLID GROUND Volunteers share our vision of being positive, Godly role models for the children and keeping them safe.
We're sure you agree these children are the future of our community. If you understand the importance of what we are doing, we want to meet you!
Please check out the many ways to help below. Then review our Statement of Faith, fill out our Volunteer Application and return it to us. Upon completion of a background screen, we will contact you to set up a short orientation meeting.

Van Driver
Mon-Wed
4:45PM-8:30PM
Many kids who come to Rock House Kids live in areas prone to crime and other unsafe activities. Our drivers must be able and willing to pick up in inner-city areas and housing projects. We use large passenger vans to pick up and drop off kids each night. You will need a current driver’s license to be one of our van drivers. A firm, influential approach is ideal. As with our other Rock House Kids volunteers, our drivers share our vision of providing a safe place, in this case, transportation, while being a positive and godly role model for the children. Drivers: •Arrive at RHK no later than 4:45 PM for pick-up and finish around 8:30-8:45 PM after drop-offs, Monday through Thursday. oDrivers are needed all four nights. oWe will work with you to determine the night/nights that work best with your schedule. •If possible, we ask our drivers to plan to come back to RHK between pick-ups and drop-offs just to hang out with the kids. This will help in building trust-based relationships with them. All Rock House Kids Volunteers: •Provide a consistent & strong presence for our kids •Build trust-based relationships •Demonstrate a strong faith walk
