Heartmover Spiritual VolunteersWe welcome spiritual groups of all faith origins to help provide the girls in our residential programs with a good moral compass. Heartmovers perform ministry services and prayer groups for our youth. 2 – 4 hours a month.Residential Volunteer ActivitiesWhether you choose to volunteer individually, with a friend, or as part of a larger corporate or social group, we are eager to have you host a fun and meaningful volunteer activity– no idea is too big or too small! About 10 to 28 residents typically participate in group activities. If you have an interest, skill, or passion, there is likely a girl at Vista Maria who loves it too! We recently polled our residents to ask what they would love to do or learn about with volunteers so see our volunteer page for their suggestions. Please allow a minimum of two weeks’ notice to plan the event.Help in The Vista BoutiqueThis special area is set aside for clients to peruse and select free clothes, shoes, personal products, and accessories. We always need extra hands to help with inventory, organization, laundry, stocking shelves, and making The Vista Boutique a place where our youth feel beautiful, well-dressed, and valued.Campus BeautificationLooking for a great team-building exercise for your corporate or social group? Come to Vista Maria and help us keep our facilities beautiful and comforting for our children.
