We Have A Red Apron For You
Our Volunteers transform lives and over the past 37 years have helped to make Bluffton Self Help the organization it is today. Join our dedicated group of over 350 volunteers and explore some of the opportunities to give back.
Red Apron Volunteer Opportunities

Education and Training Volunteers
Help neighbors become successful in their home, workplace, and community by providing instruction in reading, writing, math, conversational English, GED preparation, workshops, or one-on-one tutoring.
To become a tutor, knowledge of languages other than English is not necessary; neither is prior teaching experience. Training is provided to all potential tutors.

Basic Needs Volunteers
Basic Needs volunteers work in The Market to help stock and organize shelves with groceries, hygiene items, and clothing. Help neighbors shop, check-in, check-out and carry groceries to their cars. There are also opportunities to support the financial assistance programs and help neighbors apply for educational scholarships. Client Intake volunteers work one-on-one with clients in-person and over the phone.
Special programs and holidays also provide opportunities to give back throughout the year.
