We are looking for individuals who can assist us with the running of the shelter. Volunteers are able to choose the amount of time they are able to contribute a week/month, as well as anything in particular they are looking to get involved in. To qualify you must be someone willing to meet our clients where they are, non judgemental or demeaning; have an open heart and a listening ear.
The volunteers are there to ensure the safety of the clients, ensuring only those with authorization are allowed into the facility. There is a little house keeping to be done but most of this is done by the clients themselves as part of their living skills training.
The afternoon/evening shift duties include:
- Read shift log
- Sort donations (if any)
- Buzz residence in/enforce showing of badge
- Answer phone
- Be available for medication (if needed)
- Enforce kitchen sign-up chart
- Make sure children are in bed by 9 pm
- Close the kitchen
- Write in shift log
- Turn shift over to next volunteer
We know your time is valuable as a volunteer so we are requesting anyone who is available for a 3-4 hour shift, which ever works best for your schedule. However many days a week is up to you as well! The afternoon/evening shift starts any time after 4:30 pm. The house closes up at 10 and the overnight volunteer takes over.
