Thank you for your interest in serving with Modern Abolition.
Volunteering with us isn’t about filling a role or checking a box. It’s about showing up with presence, humility, and care—meeting young people where they are and walking with them toward hope, healing, and purpose.
Our volunteers serve alongside youth who are often overlooked or written off. Many have experienced trauma, instability, or involvement with the justice system. Because of that, we take this work seriously—and we support our volunteers every step of the way.
When you volunteer with Modern Abolition, you’re joining a community committed to:
- Building trust before expecting change
- Creating safe, consistent, and life-giving spaces
- Representing Jesus through love, patience, and integrity
Whether you’re mentoring, helping at events, supporting camps, or assisting behind the scenes, your presence matters more than perfection. You don’t need all the answers—you just need a willing heart and a commitment to show up.
We provide training, clear expectations, and ongoing support so that volunteers feel prepared, protected, and confident as they serve.
If you’re looking for a place to make a meaningful difference—one rooted in relationship, faith, and long-term impact—we’d be honored to serve alongside you.
Ready to take the next step?
The first step toward volunteering with Modern Abolition is simple:
fill out our Volunteer Interest Form.
This form helps us get to know you, understand your interests, and see how your gifts might align with our programs and opportunities. It’s not a commitment—just a starting point for a conversation.
Once you submit the form, a member of our team will follow up with next steps, including training, availability, and ways to serve that fit your schedule and strengths.
If you’re willing to show up and learn, we’d love to connect.
***All volunteers serving with youth complete a screening and training process to ensure safe, healthy, and supportive environments.

The dream of MODERN ABOLITION started a long time ago. It didn't have a name...a business model...a logo...or a cause. it wasn't till I went to Cambodia myself and experienced the true evil of Sex Trafficking and other forms of slavery around the world. I left on my trip to Cambodia just days after I got the news that I was going to be a father. That took this trip to a whole new level. On my return home, the haunting memories of what I saw and experienced there were so overwhelming, that I couldn't help but think " How could I not, not do anything?"...as a father to be, a husband, as a human being. I believe it's our duty to fight injustice, feed the hungry, defend the weak, notice the un-noticeable, bring hope to the hopeless, touch the untouchable, and never become a slave to the status quo. I always wanted to use my art for more than the sake of just being art...this was the birth of MODERNABOLITION. MODERN ABOLITION exists to inspire others and create movements of change that bring HELP, HOPE, HEALING and HEALTH to those in need. It is estimated that every 3 seconds a child dies of a preventable circumstances (disease, poverty, hunger, lack of education, etc) and children (especially young girls) all over the planet are being sold as slaves for sex, labor, and having their childhood stolen. This is not ok with me. We can make a difference...we will be different.
"Don't be a slave to the status quo" - This is MODERN ABOLITION.
