Youth Space Greeters, ages 13-25, are the first face a young person sees when they visit. These volunteers welcome visitors, check-in participants, offer resources and help make our drop-in space a safe and fun place to be. We are currently looking for youth and young adults who want to serve their community in this way. All shifts are in the afternoons and evenings, 3-6pm or 6-9pm.
