Resident Support volunteers love working with people. It is their heart to serve survivors of sexual trauma and trafficking in a one-on-one or small group capacity. Resident Support volunteers will know the location of the Garden Gate Ranch property and will have direct contact with residents.
​
Examples: physical care; medical/psychological care; spiritual/emotional care; social formation; legal assistance; education; career planning
Mission Assistants love serving and doing things for others. These volunteers work behind the scenes to make certain that everything is functioning effectively and efficiently. Mission Assistants may know the location of the Garden Gate Ranch property and might have some contact with residents.
​
Examples: administration; gardening; property maintenance; vehicle maintenance; property contractors (plumbing; HVAC; etc.)
Vision Ambassadors seek excellence in all they do. They enjoy crowds and are influencers in their culture. Vision Ambassadors may enjoy public speaking or simply wish to act as an endorsed representative of Garden Gate Ranch. They must have extensive knowledge of the GGR mission and vision. They might know the location of the GGR property but will not have direct contact with residents. 

Examples: speaking on behalf of Garden Gate Ranch; sharing mission, vision & impact; engaging community; event planning
Task Force volunteers want to get involved when a need arises for Garden Gate Ranch-sponsored events. They like to serve behind the scenes and do the grunt work that gets things done. Task Force volunteers are not required to have extensive knowledge of the Garden Gate Ranch mission and vision. They might know the location of the Garden Gate Ranch property but will not have direct contact with residents. Task Force volunteers are the only group that do not need to attend a volunteer orientation before applying.
​
Examples: clean up; set up; av/sound; writing thank you's; serving food
