One who takes great joy in opening the door for others to encounter Jesus.

At Steubenville South, we lovingly refer to our volunteers as Door Holders—a term inspired by Psalm 84:10:

“I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God…”

Volunteering at Steubenville South is a powerful opportunity to serve behind the scenes while witnessing the Holy Spirit at work in a profound way. It’s more than helping run an event—it’s saying yes to creating space where teens can encounter Christ, experience authentic community, and be transformed by His love.

Come and see the beauty, joy, and impact of this uniquely Catholic volunteer experience.
