Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: ROOTS Young Adult Shelter

ROOTS Young Adult Shelter is an emergency homeless shelter in Seattle's U-District. We are open 365 nights a year and serve 45 young adults, ages 18-25, each night!


We have two different types of morning volunteers, Breakfast Crew volunteers and Morning Floor Volunteers.


Breakfast Crew volunteers start at 6:15 am and end their shift at 8:30 am Sunday through Fridays, and 6:45 am to 9:00 am on Saturdays. Volunteers work as a team of 3-4 to help prepare and serve food to guests and clean up the kitchen. Feel free to bring with you any food you’re interested in cooking!


Morning Floor volunteers work as a team to engage with guests, hand out hygiene supplies, help clean up shelter, enforce program rules and help ensure the emotional and physical safety of the space. After guests leave, volunteers help to restock hygiene supplies, prepare bedding for the next night, and help with any other clean up. Becoming a morning volunteer is one of the best ways to get to know our shelter guests and learn about a new community of people!

Mission Statement

ROOTS Young Adult Shelter is a University District organization based in compassion and committed to social justice that fosters change and empowers human potential by providing critical services to street-involved, homeless, and other low-income persons and through supporting service providers and faith communities in creating a comprehensive network.

Description

ROOTS Young Adult Shelter serves homeless individuals between the ages of 18 and 25 and is the only shelter program in Seattle specifically addressing the needs of homeless young adults. These young people are too old to access youth shelter programs but often feel unwelcome or threatened in emergency programs serving older single adults. YAS services include: clean bedding and sheets; dinner and hot breakfast; healthy and hygiene supplies and services, including laundry and showers; onsite case management and referral to other support and transitional services; visits by healthcare providers, including public health nurse and acupuncturist; educational materials related to risk avoidance, harm reduction, and other area programs; supportive and nurturing relationships between program staff and guests.
