Volunteer

Anyone can join our Sleep Out movement!  This year, 4.2 million kids will be homeless in America.  When you Sleep Out, you’re not just raising funds and awareness – you’re showing homeless youth your commitment to their future.  By joining or starting your own Sleep Out today, you’ll raise lifesaving funds to give kids safe shelter and opportunity and unite your community against youth homelessness.

Our two-week job readiness class teaches basic skills to prepare our young people for the world of work.  Volunteers join us to conduct mock interviews and participate in a career panel with the students using questions we provide, or other questions that come to mind.  It is an excellent opportunity to interact with our students while getting to know them and assisting them with fundamental career-building skills.

Bring your skills to our youth with a workshop designed to teach any variety of life skills.  You can create and pitch your own ideas for a workshop in your area of expertise.

Help our clothing room look its best! Clothing room assistants organize and sort items based on styles and colors.  This position is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:30 to 5:50 p.m.
