Volunteer with Love Never Fails

Getting Started as a Volunteer

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Love Never Fails. We are honored that you are considering joining us in the mission to end human trafficking and support survivors on their journey to healing and restoration.

A gentle note: due to the care and protection protocols in place for those affected by human trafficking, our volunteer onboarding process may take longer than usual. Background checks, Human Trafficking 101 Training, and other important documents are needed in order to volunteer within the safe houses.

We are grateful for your willingness to serve and stand with us in this important work. Your time, compassion, and commitment make a lasting difference in the lives of those we support.

Volunteer Spotlight - Justin

Congratulations to our star volunteer, Justin, who was recognized in April 2026 by the City of Hayward for his outstanding service with Love Never Fails.

Justin joined us in 2024 as part of our outreach team through the Community Outreach Advocates (COA) program. Since then, he has shown consistent dedication and a willingness to serve wherever needed with extreme compassion, even donating the shoes off his own feet. His commitment to reaching and supporting individuals in the community reflects the heart of our mission, and we are incredibly grateful for the impact he continues to make.

“He’s a kind and caring young man, with his quiet smile and hands of service he speaks volumes to others about their worth.”

- Vanessa Russell, Founder & Executive Director
