As The Lantern continues to expand rapidly, we are hoping to build volunteer teams to ensure we are able to keep up with the demands. If you sign up for a team below, we will simply add you to the email list for that team so that you can receive direct communication in your area as the needs arise. There are also a handful of individual positions that we will communicate with directly to ensure these roles are filled by individuals who have the capacity and interest to commit to the ongoing nature of the roles.
Help us plan a wide variety of events from fundraisers to educational workshops. Opportunities range from day-of preparations (decor, setup, registration, cleanup) to helping us coordinate our larger fundraisers.
We're often invited to pass out information about The Lantern at local events, and would love to be able to call on a team to help us as we continue to grow and our engagements increase. We will provide any training necessary, but this team is ideal for outgoing individuals who enjoy connecting with others and are passionate about the counter trafficking movement.
We’re looking to build a team who is interested in coordinating our first ever silent auction (taking place at the December 1st Gala) by assisting in securing donations, planning logistics, facilitating the silent auction the day-of, and coordinating item distribution/pickup. Relying on this support team/leader to take initiative on this important element of the gala will ensure our staff can focus on marketing, registration, and overall event coordination.
Our Safe House network requires a wide variety of assistance. From transporting goods and furniture, procuring food donations, all the way to assisting safe house parents. The training is more extensive for this area, and background checks may be required. We're looking for individuals who are both committed and discreet.
The Lantern App provides the updates, resources, and information you need to stay up to date on the fight against trafficking. With the option to opt-in to notifications, you never have to worry about missing out on the latest info.

We have a variety of areas in which you can serve! Everything from event planning, making phone calls all the way to more involved support roles! Training varies depending on the role but we believe that everyone can do something in this fight and we'll help you find your place as much as we can!
There is a lot of misinformation when it comes to serving non profits like ours -and although our teams are involved in more areas that are considered higher risk, we never put our volunteers in those positions unless they are desirous to do so and have had extensive training. Most volunteer roles are no different than serving any non profit agency and are just as low risk.
Anyone can serve with us - the main factor for us is consistency. It's difficult to grow a volunteer base without that! We'll take time to learn about you and that will help us direct you to the ares you'll fit best!
Absolutely. We always start with our intro video trainings and depending on the areas you feel prompted to serve, we'll add additional training onto that. All volunteers with be plugged into ongoing training as needed. We'll ensure you feel well equipped in the areas you're serving
That depends. Some simple areas won't require one (making phone calls etc) but anything more related to our work locally and more direct interactions with our team, will require a background check.
*All volunteer opportunities with the Lantern require various degrees of training. More in-depth roles may require more detailed training as well as background checks. The Lantern will notify you of the requirements for the roles applications express interest in.
The Lantern Project is a 501c3 non profit. All donations are tax deductible.
