Needs From: Volunteer Center of Kitsap County

VOLUNTEER FROM HOME!

Join a team of dedicated volunteers who respond to texts from youth in
our community and help provide safe, effective, compassionate, and
encouraging support for those ages 13-25 who are in crisis. We are
dedicated to listening and supporting youth who are facing the
everyday challenges of being a young adult in today’s world. We are
committed to empowering youth through connection, compassion, and HOPE!

TIME COMMITMENT: Volunteers will commit to 2-hour shifts for a minimum of 6
hours a month. These shifts can be anytime between the hours of 3-11pm.

BELONGING AND RESOURCES:

Oasis Centers are a place for youth to come in off the streets and just be. They can connect with others, share a meal, build friendships and access things that a lot of us take for granted, like showers, laundry and other resources.

If you walk into an Oasis Center, you are going to walk into a lot of fun! Friday Late Nights offer a special night during the week for kids to participate in pool and basketball tournaments and eat a dinner together. Field trips take kids to new places and outside experiences. And every day there are activities, games, discussions, and snacks.

In all that happens, we want youth to know there is a safe place for them to grow and be surrounded be people who will encourage them on to freedom and fullness.
