Volunteer Opportunities by The Retreat
Volunteering at The Retreat
The Retreat welcomes both individuals and corporate groups who are interested in supporting our organization through volunteerism. We offer opportunities in East Hampton, Bridgehampton, Riverhead, and Hauppauge. Contact our Volunteer Coordinator with questions or to return your completed application.
We look forward to welcoming you to another year of life-affirming work and being together – virtually and in person! Please check out some of the diverse volunteer opportunities that directly support our client services, education initiatives and extensive community outreach, advocacy and marketing, “friendraising” and, of course, fundraising.
To ensure the safety and security of our clients and staff, all positions working directly with clients or in our residential shelter require fingerprinting and a background check. You must have your own transportation if the volunteer position requires you to be at any of The Retreat’s locations or if you are participating in an event.
We hope you will find a project or activity of interest.
For any questions or inquiries, please contact:
