Volunteer
Help members make connections
Welcome!
We’re so grateful you’re interested in supporting Erin’s Hope for Friends! There are two meaningful ways to get involved: volunteer at an e’s Club event or sponsor an event theme to help create memorable experiences that bring members together.
EVENT VOLUNTEERS help members connect, start conversations, participate in activities, and build lasting friendships.
EVENT THEMED VOLUNTEERS help bring special events to life by managing the supplies, refreshments, decorations, or experiences that make each gathering memorable.
Whether you give your time or help make a themed event possible, you play an important role in creating a place where every member feels welcomed, valued, and excited to belong. Thank you for being part of our mission to help individuals with autism find friendship and connection!

Help Bring Our Event Themes to Life!
Every weekend at e’s Club, we host a theme designed to inspire conversation, shared experiences, and build friendships. Themes range from Robotics to Furry Friends, and the first hour often features a special guest who brings something unique to the evening—a guitar performance, a model train display, a magic show, and more!
We also host one or two elevated events each month that require extra planning and support. Whether you enjoy decorating, organizing, crafting, or creating memorable experiences, your help can make these occasions truly special. For example, Jeremy helped bring our Football Watching weekend to life with his grilling skills and to Joanne for adding special touches to our Friendsgiving celebration! From our Palentine’s Party and Spooktacular Halloween Party to our Winter Holiday Party and Summer Mocktail Bash, there are plenty of opportunities to make an impact.
Prefer to volunteer remotely? Got a group that would like to host an event?
It is a fun way a family, ladies club, association or even a sports team can do something impactful. This area is the perfect opportunity to share your creativity, talents, and planning skills from wherever you are.
Help us make every event an experience our members look forward to!
