Volunteer with Grow

Volunteering with Grow is a chance to give back to a community that gives so much — and to help keep the program available for others who need it. It’s also surprisingly good for you.

Start by being a member

We encourage volunteers to first join as an ordinary Grow member. That way you can learn the program, build trust, and become known within the community — the natural foundation for helping others well.

As a member, you can lean on your home group when you’re struggling, and share challenges you’ve learned to live with or overcome. When you can point to a passage from the Grow Journey Book that helped you, and tell a little of your own story, that is volunteering — and it’s how most leaders begin.

From there, you contribute simply by being supportive in an enabling way: walking alongside fellow members as they build mental strength and emotional maturity.
