Community Needs From: Gonzaga University

Are you crafty, creative, or passionate about sharing your skills with others? Maddie’s Place is looking for volunteers to organize and lead monthly arts, crafts, or wellness-based workshops for the moms, alumni families, and staff in our community.

Whether you love painting, knitting, journaling, yoga, baking, or another creative hobby, we’d love to hear from you! This is a great opportunity to make a meaningful impact by helping families heal, connect, and relax through hands-on activities.

Workshops will take place on Sunday afternoons at Maddie’s Place in Spokane and typically run 2-3 hours. We can provide space, some basic supplies, and staff support. Volunteers should be comfortable planning and leading a small group activity and engaging kindly with participants.

We welcome one-time leaders or those interested in a recurring monthly commitment!

Requirements:
Must be 18+

Comfortable leading small groups

Able to provide or plan a simple, inclusive activity

Background check required (we’ll cover the cost)

Maddie’s Place is looking for reliable, detail-oriented volunteers to assist with the ongoing organization, sorting, and management of donated items. This role is vital in helping us provide essentials to the infants and families we serve in a clean, accessible, and efficient way.

Tasks may include:

Sorting, labeling, and organizing donated items

Lifting and carrying boxes (up to 30 lbs)

Inventory tracking and restocking

Donation room tidying and storage optimization

Physical Requirements:
Volunteers must be able to comfortably lift and carry up to 30 lbs and climb stairs (our donation storage is upstairs).

We are especially looking for individuals or small groups who can commit to volunteering biweekly or monthly to keep this important area running smoothly.

This opportunity is ideal for anyone interested in nonprofit operations, logistics, or hands-on community support.

Maddie’s Place is seeking a dedicated group (student club, organization, or team) or individual volunteers interested in taking ownership of the care and upkeep of our outdoor spaces. We are in need of consistent support with landscaping, gardening, and general clean-up around our facility and surrounding property.

Tasks may include:

Weeding, trimming, and raking

Lawn maintenance and seasonal planting

Maintaining flower beds and outdoor areas

Occasional leaf blowing and snow/ice management (seasonally)

This is a flexible, ongoing opportunity starting immediately. Volunteers can set a recurring schedule (weekly, biweekly, or monthly) that works for their availability. We provide basic supplies and tools, but groups with their own equipment are welcome!

This is a great opportunity for students interested in environmental stewardship, community service, or those who simply enjoy working outdoors and making a visible impact.

Let’s work together to keep Maddie’s Place beautiful and welcoming for the families we serve!
