Volunteer Today!

Our volunteers are the heartbeat of our mission, bringing hope and empowerment to those in need. If you're ready to make a real difference in the world, join us and help build a brighter future together. Join Lovely Village and be a catalyst for change. We're a trauma-informed, survivor-focused community that thrives on compassion, commerce, and creativity.

  • Headquarters

    We can always use help at our headquarters in Downtown Waco. Serve at the front desk welcoming guests, support our staff with various tasks or take part in making WildTorch, our annual gala, come to reality. Volunteers are the heartbeat of Lovely Village.

  • Internship

    Our Internship program is designed to be a learning opportunity for people who are interested in pursuing careers in various aspects of nonprofit management, events, communications and social work. As an intern, you will work alongside JSL’s staff and offer insight and creativity to your position while gaining personal experience in an innovative work environment. Besides gleaning a wealth of professional experience, we guarantee you will have loads of fun during your internship. You will hit the ground running, so get ready!

    *Please note, currently, our Internship Program is unpaid. We offer both personal and formal internships (class credit).

  • Alliance Partner

    Alliance Partners are women who build partnerships with those in their transition out of the commercial sex industry. We are looking for advocates who are willing to invest. This could mean coffee, dinner together, or giving rides around town; however you are wanting the relationship to look, as long as it’s about at least an hour a week.
