  • Lunch PALS - Volunteer once per week to hang out with an elementary student during the student's lunch time. *
  • Donation CenterThe Donation Center serves at the heart of the Bright Futures Joplin mission to quickly meet immediate needs of students so they can focus on learning. Team members help sort, organize, clean and inventory the items used to fill these immediate need requests.
  • School Volunteers - Volunteer to help in your school with activities that don't fall under the umbrellas of TREK or Lunch PALS. Our schools are filled with abundant ways community members would be welcome to lend a hand on site. 
  • Snack Packs - Volunteer to assemble snack bags to be sent home over the weekend with kids who have been identified as food insecure. Snack Packs are assembled at 9 a.m. most Thursdays. 

*Background checks are required for Lunch PALS volunteer positions.
