Join our Health Education team as a volunteer for an HIV Awareness Health Fair for homeless women! Our staff will be hosting a carnival-like health fair based on HIV awareness. Volunteers are needed to assist with simple games, handing out prizes, registering attendees, and set up/clean up of the event. No prior health knowledge is needed, all volunteers will receive a brief training and will work alongside our staff.
Care for the Homeless is a non-profit organization that operates medical clinics in partnership with homeless shelters, soup kitchens, and drop in locations throughout the city. We also operate a 200-bed, transitional residence called Susan's Place in the Bronx.

Mission Statement
Care For the Homeless fights homelessness by delivering high-quality and client-centered health care, human services and shelter to homeless individuals and families, and by advocating for policies to ameliorate, prevent and end homelessness.
Description
Care For the Homeless (CFH) serves 10,000 homeless men, women, and children annually and provides comprehensive health care at multiple sites co-located at soup kitchens, shelters, drop-in centers and street outreach programs in all 5 boroughs of NYC. Our service delivery model provides care where homeless individuals and families are receiving a variety of other services with the goal of reducing barriers to accessing high-quality health care. CFH also operates three transitional housing sites with on-site health care and is expanding shelter services in the future, ensuring a safe, supportive path to permanent housing.
In addition, CFH is committed to ending homelessness by conducting public education, research, and analysis of model programs and practices that create permanent housing opportunities, and by shaping policies to prevent future homelessness.
