Hope Haven International Ministries has sent 150,000 wheelchairs to 109 countries over the last 30 years. When we started sending wheelchairs, we realized that there was a shortage of children's wheelchairs. As a result, we partnered with Dordt University to create a pediatric wheelchair for children with Cerebral Palsy. We now manufacture this wheelchair in Northwest Iowa and Sioux Falls, South Dakota. This chair has become very popular among those in developing countries and we need volunteers to come and cut materials needed for wheelchair production. We have the scissors, markers, and Naugahyde needed to complete this task. Please let us know if this is of interest to you, and we would love to talk with you about it! For more information, click Express Interest below, email kteslaa@hopehaven.org or call 605.332.8300.

Hope Haven International has sent 150,000 wheelchairs to 109 countries worldwide to impoverished adults and children. Without a wheelchair, many disabled individuals are confined to their homes; only able to enjoy their communities by being carried around by their family members. Having a wheelchair gives the recipient hope, opportunities they never thought possible and unthinkable joy. When we started sending chairs, we realized that we weren't receiving many wheelchairs for children. As a result, we partnered with Dordt University to create the Hope Haven Kid Chair. This chair has been sent all over the world and is heavily sought after.

Volunteer opportunites would include sweeping and mopping floors, cleaning bathroom and public waiting area. Other duties would include washing windows, cleaning blinds and wiping out refrigerators. Other opportunities would include stocking shelves with food items and marking cans/boxes as needed.

Hope Haven International Ministries has an exciting new volunteer shop in Brookings, SD. At this shop we will be refurbishing wheelchairs to be repurposed and given a new life. This job is trainable and will be very easy to catch on. There is no time commitment for this opportunity, we just ask that you let us know if you plan on coming so that we can ensure someone is available to work with you! Come help make a difference in the lives of others!

You will help fabricate wheelchair parts using drills, saws, and varied machinery. We will train. These wheelchairs will go to children around the world improving quality of life and giving access to possibilities. We box these wheelchair parts and send them overseas to help provide jobs for those with disabilities or related to people with disabilities. Please come and help change lives.

No volleyball experience necessary to coach a team. We ask that volunteers have a passion for mentoring young athletes and helping them be their very best! Two coaches (male or female, 18 years & above) are required for every team, creating flexibility in scheduling! We have two 10-week seasons you can choose from. Our winter seasons runs from January - March and our fall season runs from September - November. If a team does not have two coaches, they cannot continue with the season.

Volunteer coaches are provided training materials and practice plans for the entire season. Coaches give 1 hour of their time each week to their team for practices. Game days will be two hours on a Saturday. We will have a total of 4 game days and one tournament. We do understand schedule conflicts arise, we ask that all coaches be present at majority of practices and games.

If you are interested in coaching, please complete the volunteer application that can be found at www.embe.org/program/vollebyall. On this webpage, you will also find more information about the league. A background check will be required for all volunteers, but will be sent to you once the application is received and your coaching spot is confirmed.

In School Mentoring volunteers spend one hour per week with an elementary or middle school student at the school. Mentors and students spend time doing a variety of activities together, including:

playing board games
reading a book
playing basketball
eating lunch together
simply sitting and talking

In School Mentoring offers a flexible volunteer option. With schools located in nearly every neighborhood, mentors can select a location that is best for them. Matches meet during the school lunch hour. The time varies from school to school, but it’s generally a 30 to 45 minute block of time between 11am and 1pm.

School counselors select a young person who can use extra one-to-one attention from a caring adult role model. Counselors are responsible for matching students with an In School mentor.

In School mentors can volunteer in the following school districts: Sioux Falls, Aberdeen, Baltic, Brandon Valley, Canton, Dell Rapids, Flandreau, Garretson, Harrisburg, Lennox, Tea Area, Tri-Valley and West Central.

The High School Mentoring Program offers support from school staff as well as support from the LSS High School Mentoring Program Coordinator. High School Mentoring matches can meet during the school day or during out of school hours.

High School matches commit to meeting four hours per month until the student graduates. This helps ensure a stable presence and support throughout the student’s high school career. Mentors assist students in setting and meeting goals in relationship development, school and work readiness and being a good citizen.

Students can be referred to this program by school personnel, case managers, parents/guardians, counselors or self-refer. LSS matches qualified students with volunteers based on need and student interest level. Complete a High School Mentoring referral form to enroll a student.
