Volunteers & Interns Welcome
Volunteer with Serve Source
Serve Source doesn't muck out houses or feed people. We support those who serve.
Most days that looks like backbone infrastructure, custom solutions, and technology that help churches and nonprofits respond to disasters with greater clarity and impact. Our volunteers make that possible.
Why Volunteer With Serve Source?
When disaster strikes, faith-based responders move fast. Behind them, a small team keeps the information, maps, and connections flowing. That team includes people like you.
Serve the servants
Your work multiplies the impact of the churches and nonprofits already on the ground after a disaster.
Strengthen the backbone
Help build the shared tools and coordination that keep responders connected when it matters most.
Use your gifts
Bring the skills you already have, from code to communications, and put them to work for real communities.
What Do Our Volunteers Do?
We're building a small team of volunteers and interns who can help in areas like:
Disaster research and analysis
Track unfolding disasters, gather verified details, and help shape the picture responders rely on.
Weather monitoring and alerts
Watch developing storms and hazards so churches and partners can prepare before impact.
Information technology support
Keep our systems, accounts, and tools running smoothly for staff and partner organizations.
Web app development (full stack)
Build and improve the Serve Source platform, from maps and dashboards to data and integrations.
Social media management
Share timely updates, highlight partners, and grow a community that cares about serving well.
Public communications and press releases
Write clear, trustworthy messaging that informs the public and media during and after disasters.
Donor relationships
Steward and thank the people who make this work possible, and help invite new supporters in.
Partner advancement
Build relationships with new and existing partner organizations and help them get the most from Serve Source.
Media and videography
Capture and tell the story of Serve Source and the impact of our work through photo and video.
Event coordination
Help plan and run our annual DRRN conference, one-day roundtable events, and donor dinners that bring partners and supporters together.
Who Are Our Volunteers?
Our volunteers share a heart for serving people in their hardest moments and a commitment to accuracy, humility, and teamwork.
Some have lived through disasters themselves. Others come from church ministry, emergency management, software, communications, or nonprofit leadership. Students and interns are welcome too. What unites us is a desire to equip those who serve.
