Get Involved
Become a volunteer family. During student breaks, particularly around holidays, children from the Ranch often stay with volunteer families. Our volunteer families must meet the same high standards as our staff, but the rewards of serving children in this way are beyond description. If you’d like more information about becoming a volunteer family, contact Carlie Popa at the Counseling Center, cpopa@wvr.org or 865-429-0372.
Become a year-long or summer volunteer Mentor. Each year, college students and recent college graduates volunteer a year or a summer to work directly with students in the homes at the Ranch. The Mentorship position is a twenty-four-hour discipling opportunity, with a chance to make an eternal impact in the lives of children. Mentors also gain valuable hands-on experience in tutorial education, counseling, and Bible as they work alongside the houseparents, under the tutelage of Pastor Wood and our Counseling staff. If you think God may be calling you to become a volunteer Mentor, contact Carlie Popa at cpopa@wvr.org or 865-429-0372.
Plan a volunteer project and retreat for your church or civic group. Each year over 300 volunteers come to the Ranch to work on a variety of projects — everything from painting, construction, landscaping to clerical work and outreach to neighbors. If you’d like more information about volunteering, visit the volunteer and retreats page and contact Seth Houser, shouser@wvr.org or 865-429-5437.
