Congregations for the Homeless is the only full service organization on the Eastside that serves single adult men experiencing homeless.
If you are the sort of person who loves listening, and learning from other people this is the role for you! Volunteers in this role is to create more opportunities for the men in our shelter programs to have relationships and create community outside of their day-to-day interactions. This is an opportunity for volunteers to learn more about the experience of homelessness.
Volunteers must be over 21 and be able to commit to one shift a week for a minimum of 6 months. Training and additional ongoing training opportunities are required.
Please note locations vary but we are primarily Bellevue based.
