Volunteer with us

When you volunteer at Dream Center Peoria, you join a movement to change not only the lives of individual people in desperate need, but entire families, a community, and even a city.

We welcome friends from near and far who volunteer and give to provide a pathway out of homelessness, addiction, domestic violence. You can impact a young persons life forever by just showing up. If you hear God’s calling to this crucial and overlooked mission field, join us now!

As you connect with people in need and see what a difference your efforts make, you’ll be blessed with a new perspective, a sense of purpose, more confidence and a deeper love for those in need.
