Volunteer: Client Services: Street Outreach Assistance

We want to help transition those experiencing homelessness into permanent, self-sustaining living by building a personal connection with each of these individuals. We aim to improve the individual's housing, health status, and social support network with services such as resume building, applying for benefits, case management, job search, hygiene kits, and snack bags. As a volunteer, you will assist our street outreach team in providing services to individuals who cannot visit our facilities, supplying individuals with hygiene kits, meals, and bare essential supplies. Please note that there is a minimum hour requirement of 4 hours, as this position consists of driving around neighboring areas to provide our services.
