Volunteer
Would you like to give your time to the children and families in Iowa and Nebraska? Volunteers are a critical part of the Heartland Family Service team. We rely on volunteers to diversify and expand the services we offer to our clients, as well as to promote and raise funds for the agency. Heartland Family Service has many volunteer groups open to anyone interested in giving time and resources to those in need.
Thank you for considering volunteering with Heartland Family Service! Due to COVID-19, for the safety of everyone, we are not accepting volunteers at this time. We are currently assessing our volunteer needs and are excited to work with volunteers soon.

Student League
Student League – The Student League was created to honor families who have been active in helping the social service community and who want to pass that legacy onto their children. Selected student members, all in ninth grade, are introduced to the social service community through the mission and services of our agency. The students gain practical leadership experience and develop a personal commitment to volunteering by participating in this “hands on” curriculum.
