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 morning shift duties include:
- sign-in's
- collaborate with afternoon/evening volunteer to discuss any information they will need to know
- Perform wake-up call at 7:45 AM
- Unlock front door
- Check residents chores
- Read shift log
- Room checks
- Answer phone
- House laundry
- Make up intake folders, if needed
- Update shift log
- Shift turnover 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 morning shift is available any time between 10 am - 1 pm. The house closes up at 10 and the overnight volunteer takes over.
