Thank you for your interest in volunteering with FOCUS.

We are growing rapidly and welcome volunteers at our FOCUS Centers and at our national office in Pittsburgh, PA. We often have need of cooks, drivers, servers, administrative support, and professional mentors. 

We also welcome young volunteers to join us in weekend-long service trips through YES! (Youth Equipped to Serve) and week-long trips to FOCUS Appalachia.
