Your Time. Your Talent. Your Purpose. One Act of Love at a Time.
Built by people who have been through something. Serving people who are going through something.Still standing — together.
I want to be honest with you
before you read any further.
Nicole Washington Ministries is a faith-based nonprofit run by one woman from a dialysis chair.
Not a large organization. Not a paid staff. Not a building or a budget that makes everything easy.
What it has is a calling. A community of people navigating hard seasons who need someone to show up for them. Fifty free teachings. Fifteen books written between dialysis treatments. A support group that meets every Tuesday for people who have nowhere else to go.
That is what this is.
And the people who serve this ministry — the ones who post the content, design the graphics, answer the emails, format the books, and reach into communities where people are hurting and alone — they are not just volunteers.
They are Still Here people.
People who have faced something. Survived something. Helped someone else through something. Or are still in the middle of something and choosing to show up anyway.
If that is you — you already understand this ministry better than any resume could explain.
We have been waiting for you.
— Pastor Nicole Washington
Who We Are Looking For
This is not a general volunteer program.
This is the Still Here Volunteer Team.
The person who answers a prayer request at 2 a.m. from someone in a dialysis chair needs to understand — in their body, not just their head — what it feels like to need someone to show up.
The person who manages our social media needs to know why this message matters before they post it.
The person who formats our books needs to understand that the words they are typesetting were written from inside a real hard season — and that the person who will read them is in one right now.
We are looking for Still Here volunteers.
Not perfect people. Not people with flawless testimonies. People who have been through something and are still standing.
Your story matters here as much as your skill.
If your life has been hard — if you have survived something, cared for someone, lost something, or are still carrying something and choosing to keep going anyway — you are exactly who we are looking for.
What We Need
Each role is open to Still Here volunteers — people who have faced something hard and kept going.

Wells Educational Scholarship Fund — connecting with students whose education has been interrupted by chronic illness, dialysis, transplantation, disability, or caregiving.

The Still Here Support Group — letting people in hard seasons know this free community exists and is open to them.

How It Works
This is a volunteer program — not a job.
Here is what that means practically.
- You will not be paid.
- You will be given clear direction, approved materials, and everything you need to do the work well.
- You will not have access to ministry finances — ever. No exceptions.
- All work is reviewed and approved before it goes public.
- You will communicate through the ministry email only.
- Every new volunteer begins with one trial project so we can confirm the fit before committing to an ongoing role.
This ministry has been built on trust. That trust matters deeply to us. We are careful — not because we distrust you, but because the people this ministry serves deserve a ministry that is protected and stable.
If you understand that and you are still here — you are exactly who we are looking for.
Who You Will Be Serving
Before you apply — we want you to know who you will be serving.
The dialysis patient who found this ministry at 2 a.m. and needed to know their story was not over.
The caregiver who has given everything to someone else and has nothing left — and found a prayer here that said: you are allowed to rest.
The person who just received a diagnosis that changed everything and does not yet know how to hold it.
The student whose education was interrupted by illness and who needed a scholarship that understood.
The woman who walked into a room full of other women and felt for the first time that she was not alone in what she was carrying.
These are real people.
Your work — however digital, however behind the scenes — reaches them directly.
That is not a small thing.
That is why we do this.
