Volunteers DHMS

Our volunteer program is well-focused and includes, providing technical support, organizing fund-raisers, participating in environmental upgrade events, volunteering at our development office and much more.

We want you to have an enjoyable and productive volunteer experience. We start by matching your expertise with suitable business development activities. For example, if you are a business or urban studies major looking for a real-world project - we can open doors for you.

Contact us by email, and we will send you our list of working committee projects. This list will show you where our current revitalization activities are focused and perhaps you may find an area that sparks your interest. Contact us today so that you can get involved with our outstanding program and meet your new friends at Deanwood.
