SFMB Intern Application

Dear Potential Intern,

Thank you so much for your interest in serving at Set Free Monterey Bay. We are so inspired and encouraged each time someone steps forward to sacrifice their time, resources and energy to serve others.

The first step in joining our team is to fill out the application packet and return it to our office. We also require each volunteer to submit to a background check for the safety and security of our residents.

We understand that each of you have busy lives and unexpected circumstances may arise but we ask ahead of time that as much as you are able, please commit to being prompt and consistent for the sake of building trust and rapport with our residents. Attached you will find the rules and regulations. These rules must be taken into consideration when you become a volunteer, so please examine them carefully. By signing our forms, you indicate that you understand and will abide by the standards in place.

We are confident that you will be blessed by your time in service and we want you to know from the start how appreciative we are of your willingness to even begin this journey with us! The work will be rewarding but is not always easy so we ask that you be prepared in advance for days of seeming thankless work, discouragement and frustration. But please know that not only are we thankful for your service but the Lord will bless your sacrifice as well and we all have to be faithful in planting the seeds, trusting that he will do the work of growth! Know that through your time here, you will be covered in prayer and we want to be available as a support to you as well through this process.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at (831) 320-9555.

For Freedom,
Ashley Chesney, Executive Director
