LGBTQ and ally adult volunteers provide LGBTQ youth with hope for their futures, and positive, healthy role models to look up to. Our volunteers have a major positive impact on the experience of youth in our programs, and are a core part of the youth experience at Lambert House.
Drop-in Center Volunteers are responsible for ensuring a safe and respectful atmosphere in our drop-in center for LGBTQ participants ages 11 to 22. Other responsibilities include listening to youth; engaging youth via activities, conversations, or games; setting limits; and being a positive role model. These volunteers make a commitment to staff the drop-in center for one three-hour shift per week (4-7, 5:30-8:30, or 7-9:30 M-F) for a minimum of one year. We have at least three volunteers on a shift, with up to 12 adults in the house in other roles.
Our volunteer application process is outlined on our website, and includes our application and mandatory 3-day training process. Our next training is in February 2020 (exact dates TBD). Visit http://www.lamberthouse.org/volunteer/ for more information and the application.
