VOLUNTEER HOUSING

Rehoboth has a variety of lodging for volunteers. Please call ahead to make arrangements for housing, especially during the winter months when we are often filled to capacity. We will do our best to assign housing according to your need, however from time to time it is necessary to make changes, in which case you will be notified.

Each guest room or apartment is completely furnished with one set of linens and towels, general cooking utensils and appliances. All rooms are wired for wireless internet use if you would like to bring a laptop. We have the capacity to accommodate up to 6 RVs/campers with full hook-up for water, sewer, and electric. Close to the RV park are laundry facilities and restrooms with showers. Available for all volunteers is a lounge, which has a computer with internet access, cable television, a DVD player, puzzles, books, and games.

MEALS

Volunteers are welcome to eat in the Fellowship Hall for lunch and dinner when school is in session and meals are being prepared for students. As a token of thanks for all the work volunteers do, we offer one free lunch per week. All other meals are priced at the employee/student rate. Many volunteers organize their own potlucks and get-togethers for mealtime fellowship.

TYPES OF WORK

Rehoboth has a sprawling campus with many buildings and facilities. We are responsible for our own electrical, gas, water and sewer systems. Maintenance, remodeling, electrical work, plumbing and help with special projects are always needed. Some work may include small carpentry projects (book shelves, cabinets, etc), minor repairs on plumbing and electrical appliances, landscaping (tree pruning, weeding, etc.), demolition, concrete work, minor bus and car repairs and various other projects as needed.

Food Service
Working in the kitchen includes helping prepare, serve and clean up lunch that is served daily to students, staff and volunteers. This is a wonderful opportunity to interact with the students on a daily basis. You’ll also get to enjoy the friendly kitchen staff who always appreciate extra hands! With volunteers in the kitchen, we are able to be more creative with our meals…better food is made when there are more hands to help prepare it!

Tutoring
This includes a variety of activities such as reading with students, helping them with homework or special projects or giving general guidance in their studies. Some volunteers are asked to substitute teach, depending on their background and comfort level with teaching.

Office Work
Office work can include helping with mass mailings, data entry, inventory, and general paper filing and sorting.

Miscellaneous
There are various other projects that volunteers participate in at Rehoboth such as nursing duties, facility cleaning, and helping with sports events and school programs. We try to match any specialized skills with work that needs to be done.
