Volunteer

Disability Ministry is everybody's ministry, and everyone, big or small, disabled or not, can make a difference. Partner with Joni and Friends today!

Joni and Friends exists because of the hundreds of dedicated volunteers and staff. We need your support and participation to share the gospel message, equip churches for disability ministry, and serve those affected by disability worldwide.

Volunteer with Joni and Friends

Join our team of volunteers at the International Disability Center headquarters in Agoura Hills, CA! We are seeking volunteers who can assist us in the following areas:


  • Donor Appreciation: We are looking for volunteers with clear, legible handwriting who can help us hand write thank you notes to our generous donors.

  • Grant Research: We occasionally have opportunities for volunteers to assist our Grant Writer by researching foundations and grants that match Joni and Friends’ vision, mission, and values.

  • General Office Assistance: Volunteers help us with things like data entry, filing, mailings, and other miscellaneous office tasks.

  • Tour Docent: We have a team of Tour Docents that provide tours to our ministry guests.


If you are not located near Agoura Hills, CA, there are other ways that you can volunteer:


  • Connect with one of our Area Ministries and serve in your local community.

  • Serve from home by making lap blankets, sewing wheelchair covers, or writing valentines.

  • Participate with a Family Retreat or Wheels for the World outreach as a Short Term Missionary.
