To aid in the mission of the Waverly Center, volunteers are sought to help with general maintenance of the building and grounds. Additionally, volunteers contact community volunteers and civic organizations to strengthen the bridge between the center and its community. For the youth services, volunteers are needed to assist with camp maintenance, and help with the after-school programs. Counselor positions are also available in the summer. Assistance is needed with the daily activities for the senior center and with making repairs to its facilities.
Volunteers also help with home repair for seniors including painting and yard work.
WTHC programs also include the Maternal Infant Health Outreach Worker project, a network of rural family support programs in Appalachia and the Mississippi Delta that works with pregnant women and new parents in their homes to help them learn more about their health needs and how to get those needs met. Volunteers will work with local youth educating them about teen pregnancy. Assistance is also needed in the construction of the local youth center. A Witness for Peace experience would provide students with an opportunity to have interviews with a wide variety of people. Students would be able to stay with families in the rural sector and could work on a community project.
