Heading Home is a New Mexico non-profit that runs several housing-first initiatives and programs which seek to make experiences of homelessness rare, short-lived and non-recurring. We house six programs in two locations, including our emergency men’s shelter, the Albuquerque Opportunity Center (AOC).
The AOC is in need of a volunteer dorm resident assistant for evenings. The volunteer dorm resident assistant will work with Heading Home staff to make the shelter run more smoothly. This will include driving our shuttle to pick up residents, key service for laundry, storage, etc., assisting residents with other needs, and assisting staff with routine tasks. This is the ideal position for someone who is enthusiastic about helping people experiencing homelessness, and who also likes a fast-pace, resident-focused work environment.
This position requires one or two 4.5 hour evening shifts per week from 4:30pm to 9:00pm.
