Upcoming Teen Volunteer Opportunities
NAMI Youth Advocacy Group – March Through June
We’re scheduling for Fridays in March, April, May, and June. Please register if you are interested. More details to come with registration.
You don’t have to be a policy expert to make change. You just have to care.
In partnership with NAMI Nevada, Hope Means Nevada is giving you a seat at the table. You’re invited to join a 3-session focus group to help shape youth priorities before next year’s legislative session, and it’s actually going to be fun.
You’ll get trained in NAMI SMARTS advocacy + storytelling (think: how to say what you mean and have people really listen), then meet with youth-friendly mental health legislators to talk about what actually matters to teens.
Only 25 seats available.
Dear Evan Hansen – Afternoon Volunteer Shifts
Dear Evan Hansen is a Tony and Grammy–winning musical about a socially anxious high schooler whose life changes after a classmate’s suicide and a misunderstanding involving a letter. The story explores loneliness, connection, and the importance of being seen and heard.
The Broadway Stage Collective is partnering with Hope Means Nevada as a resource, and we’re looking for HMN teen volunteers to represent us by tabling at select Dear Evan Hansen showings this spring.
- Volunteers will be granted school volunteer hours for their time with Hope Means Nevada.
- Volunteers will receive training so you feel confident and prepared to share Hope Means Nevada’s mission and resources.
- A maximum of four volunteers will be assigned per table.
These opportunities are for afternoon performances, with volunteer shifts from 1:15 PM to 4:30 PM. A ticket will be reserved for all volunteers. You will table pre show, are seated in special seats to enjoy the place and then resume tabling as guests exit the show

$23,000 raised. 87 donors. Our Hope Hustlers, Gianna Richardson, Piper & Palmer Kennedy, brought creativity, passion, and pure magic to fundraising this year. Hope Means Nevada couldn’t be more proud!
Because of them, we’re already making big plans for 2026 – focusing on bringing a Teen Hope Academy to every school in Nevada. Every school will have access to resources for emotional regulation and mental wellness, all thanks to our Hope Hustlers and every one of our amazing teen fundraisers. Their impact is already empowering Nevada youth to live hopeful lives.
Huge Thanks to Our Champions of Hope!
