We love our volunteers
Joining Hands summer programs are successful because of volunteers like you! If you would like to learn about ways to serve at Joining Hands this summer, please attend our next Kids Camp & Summer Volunteer Planning Session. No matter what your gifts and talents may be, you are welcome and appreciated!
Servant leaders may help prepare hot, healthy breakfasts and lunches (we're preparing all of our own meals throughout this summer programming); or spend time with our campers reading or teaching art or music. Perhaps you have a special hobby or talent you would like to share, such as sign language or dance! Come and meet old and new friends while serving together at Joining Hands!

Joining Hands Summer Programming
We're going to be busy!
The Mission is gearing up to host 10 weeks of low cost or FREE special camp experiences for children whose families are experiencing homelessness or are at-risk of becoming homeless. The Mission's programs include Morning Stars (for rising elementary students), Rising Stars (leadership camp for rising middle-school students), and, of course, Joining Hands Kids Camp, our 5th annual full-day, one-week camp for elementary students. The fun for our campers begins on Monday, June 13th and runs through Friday August 12th.
For more detailed information, see the Summer Programming page of the JHCM website.

Joining Hands Receives Best Neighborhoods Grant
Volunteer Florida, through its Best Neighborhoods Grant, has awarded Joining Hands Mission $5,500, enabling the development of a camp opportunity for middle school students.
Called Rising Stars, this will be a new component of the on-going summer camp program for homeless and at-risk children in West Pasco County. Students are being identified and recruited to participate in leadership camp through collaborative efforts with local school staff. "Graduates" of Rising Stars will then participate as leaders at Joining Hands Kids Camp.
In addition, the Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church is providing us $5,000 in matching funds to have five college interns this summer to help at our summer camps.
