Volunteer Guidelines

The purpose of the GRM Volunteer Fellowship Program is to mobilize volunteers for the aiding GRM in its efforts by participating with clients and staff at all levels to transform the wellness, lives, and spirits of the homeless and the drug and alchol addicted in Washington, D.C.

Gospel Rescue Ministries will seek to provide opportunites for individuals, local churches, and community organizations to use their gifts and resources in all of our ministries to serve our clients under the direction and the discretion of the GRM leadership. One primary way that our ministry can grow is through the increased involvement of volunteers.

Volunteers are viewed as valued partners in the ministry of GRM. You are a valuable resource to GRM, our staff, and our clients. Volunteers shall be extended the right to be given meaningful assignments, the right to be treated as equal co-workers, the right to effective supervision, the right to full involvement and participation in their ministry area, the right for recognition for work done, and the right to be considered and included in decision making processes. Staff managing volunteers will learn to translate the mission of GRM through volunteer assignments, recognizing and communicating the impact and significance in every task. Please read our Volunteer Guidelines for volunteer groups  for a detailed explanation of the proceedures and polices of the Volunteer Fellowship Corps Program.
