We believe that culture and arts are key components to health and wellness. Our classes don't just help get people out of the elements for an hour, they provide community building and a safe space to express ideas and experiences.
UCLA Creative Minds Project brings a creative writing class to the Access Center, every Friday from 1:00-2:00.We are looking for 1-2 volunteers to assist from 12:30-2:30 in the following ways:
- Work with the instructor to create a fun and inspiring curriculum
- Prepare and set out the drinks, snacks and supplies
- Participate in group writing and discussion
- Escort the clients to the group and back down to the lobby after the group
*Please note that all volunteers go through an orientation and are required to have a TB test. The agency will also run a background check to ensure the safety of all staff and clients. This process is quick and painless :)

Mission Statement
The People Concern believes no one should have to live on the street or in a violent household. Our staff, volunteers and those we serve work together to address the effects of homelessness, poverty, mental and physical illness, abuse and addiction to ensure that all of our neighbors have access to the resources they need to be housed, healthy and safe. All new volunteers will need to complete our internal orientation course.
Description
The People Concern is one of Los Angeles County’s largest nonprofit social service agencies. We strive to end homelessness by providing care and support for those experiencing it, through outreach, housing, mental and medical health care, substance use services, domestic violence services, life skills & wellness programs and income assistance.
Since 1963, we have been the leaders in our field. Our staff, volunteers and those we serve all work together to address the effects of homelessness, poverty, mental and physical illness, abuse and addiction. We work to educate the broader community about these issues and improve public policy. The People Concern is a family - one dedicated to a community where everyone, regardless of the struggles they are overcoming, is housed, healthy and safe.
