VOLUNTEER To End Homelessness
Volunteer in our efforts in building people up and helping them live in a self-sustaining, supportive community.
At Eden Village of Tulsa, we believe lives are changed through relationships, and every volunteer plays a role in helping our neighbors experience dignity, community, and purpose. Our volunteers are an essential part of building a community where everyone belongs.
Whether you’re planting vegetables on the farm, beautifying the grounds, serving at an event, mentoring a neighbor, or providing support behind the scenes, every act of service helps create a place of hope, healing, and lasting relationships.
There are opportunities for individuals, families, churches, businesses, and community groups to get involved. Whether you can serve once, occasionally, or on an ongoing basis, there is a place for you at Eden Village.

Resident Home Teams
Get To know Our Residents
A Home Team is one of the most meaningful ways to experience life at Eden Village. More than volunteering, it’s an
opportunity to build a genuine friendship with one of our neighbors through shared meals, conversations,
celebrations, and everyday moments. At Eden Village, we believe everyone has something to give. As you walk
alongside a neighbor, you’ll discover their resilience, wisdom, and story—and you may find your own perspective
transformed in the process. We’re looking for volunteers who are willing to show up consistently, build authentic
relationships, and become part of the community that makes Eden Village feel like home.
Home Teams are a group of 3-4 people that we pair with each of our residents to help them transition
from homelessness to being housed. Each resident is different and unique, so each Home Team looks
different. Overall, Home Teams act as built in friends to help our residents feel supported, settle into their
homes, and start to build an uplifting community. Home Teams might:
● Check up on the resident to see how they are doing
● Help the resident with transportation to places like the doctor or grocery store
● Celebrate life events with the resident, like birthdays and sober-versaries
● Watch sports together
● Come together for meals
At both parties convenience
