Volunteer Application

Peoria Home holds the belief that love is the most powerful force for social change in the world. Volunteers are a vital part of the Peoria Home community and include our founder, board members, health and business professionals, artisan, educators, retirees, and students.

Volunteer gifts of time and talent at Peoria Home result in enormous practical and spiritual benefits for all. Our goal for volunteers is to celebrate women as they move from addiction and prostitution to a life that is economically self-sufficient, emotionally full, and drug and alcohol free.
