Volunteer with TFDP

At The First Dollar Project, volunteers are the heart of our work. You don’t need financial experience or a background in coaching to make a real difference here—just compassion, curiosity, and a willingness to walk alongside someone who’s trying to get a better handle on their money. We provide all the training, tools, and support you need. Our approach is simple: meet people where they are, offer guidance without judgment, and celebrate every step forward, no matter how small.

 

As a TFDP volunteer, you’ll be part of a supportive community committed to increasing financial confidence and creating real, human connections. You’ll receive structured onboarding, ongoing mentoring, and clear, accessible resources to help you feel confident in your role. Whether you want to coach directly, help behind the scenes, or support outreach efforts, we welcome you. Every volunteer—new or experienced—helps someone take their first real step toward stability and freedom.

​

​Volunteers typically commit 2–4 hours per month, and we work with your schedule. Some volunteers support just one person at a time; others choose to do more. It’s completely flexible.
