- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Here at Cocoon House, our staff are passionate and resilient about working with teens. Yet, strangely enough, the skills necessary to work with and mentor youth don't always come hand-in-hand with skills in the yard.
So wouldn't-you-know, our yards are usually in need of some TLC. From our Home-like shelters in Everett, Arlington, and Monroe, to the tw, more business-like buildings we have in Everett, all our sites routinely need some help in the yard in general as well as formal gardens where we hope to grow produce and flowers.
A Landscaping/Gardening Assistants will volunteer 1-2 times a month to manage the areas around our facilities. An ideal assistant will help with planting and long-term gardening goals. Tasks would include weeding, lawn mowing, minor landscaping, raking, pruning, and watering.
Would you like to bring your green thumb to good use making a home for at-risk youth? Contact us today!

Mission Statement
The mission of Cocoon House is to empower young people, families, and the community to break the cycle of homelessness through outreach, housing and prevention.
Description
Cocoon House has built, innovated and adapted programs to benefit homeless, at-risk, and disconnected young people in Snohomish County. Opening in 1991 as an 8 bed emergency shelter, Cocoon House quickly grew to include long term housing, street outreach and a nationally recognized prevention program that focuses on parents building their family management skills. These programs work together to address teen homelessness from all angles ensuring the best possible outcomes for young people as they transition into more successful futures.
Cocoon House is strongly committed to removing barriers and supporting inclusion and diversity in all its forms. We strive to create a safe and open atmosphere for young people, families, staff, board members, community partners and funders. We learn from the diverse individuals we work with and embrace their unique attributes to ensure we fulfill our agency mission and core values.
