Volunteers

Become a Helping Handhelping hands

Volunteering is one of the most rewarding things you can do. Volunteering is about giving, contributing, and helping other individuals and the community at large. It is working with others to make a meaningful contribution to a better community.

At JMHS, our vision for those who call JMHS home is to create a community where it is common to see dogs, cats, school children, and intergenerational volunteers. Landscaped grounds and gardens with wheelchair-accessible paths open for everyone to appreciate and enjoy.
