🤝 Volunteer with Brave Bites
It only takes 5 minutes a day to change someone’s life.
Brave Bites is powered by real people offering real support. As a volunteer, you’re not a therapist — you’re a steady voice, a gentle nudge, a moment of human connection when someone needs it most.
Whether you’ve walked the road of recovery yourself or just believe no one should face it alone, there’s a role for you here.
🧡 What Our Volunteers Do
-
💬 Text-Based Peer Check-Ins
Encourage participants with gentle, non-clinical support via text — up to six short check-ins a day (or fewer, based on your availability and client needs).
-
⏳ Choose Your Time Commitment
Whether you have 5 minutes a day or 30, we’ll match you with someone whose needs align with your availability.
-
📄 Follow a Simple Framework
We provide the structure — like the 3 meals / 3 snacks model — and guidance. You show up, listen, and walk beside someone at their pace.
-
✨ Celebrate Progress Together
Volunteers help identify engagement moments so we can mail physical milestone tokens to participants. It’s a small act with big impact.
