Did you know we have a hair salon in the Women’s Center building? Hair stylists volunteer their time to provide free haircuts to families in our programs. Moms or dads that attend any program at AGR can sign up to receive a haircut for themselves and/or their child(ren). Some kids get their very first haircut at Alpha! Hair stylists can volunteer for any length of time during AGR’s business hours.

Make our campus shine inside and out! Our buildings need consistent cleaning to help clients feel welcomed and safe. Pick one area, like kitchens, or do more! Prefer the outdoors? Keep our grounds beautiful by doing yard work as needed!

Bring a group to pray for timely requests and needs of clients, volunteers, and staff. Please set up a time to do this with Lauren Herlein, Community Engagement Manager, lherlein@alphagrandrapids.org. 

Help staff, volunteers, and clients feel extra safe by providing security on Tuesday evenings when AGR is open late. Security volunteers patrol the building and parking lot regularly from approximately 6-8:30pm. Volunteers serve 1-2 evenings per month.
