Heading Home Needs Volunteers to Serve on Home Teams

Save to Favorites

Home Teams are teams of 2 to 4 volunteers who provide social support to newly-housed clients as they adjust from living on the street to living in a home. This volunteer position is about fostering friendship and strong community ties with people who have experienced homelessness. Our new neighbors may struggle with tasks such as cooking, grocery shopping, making appointments, and enjoying community activities, especially if they have endured years of homelessness. Each team of volunteers spends a minimum of 3 hours a month for 6 months doing community activities with one neighbor. Their role is to provide companionship and friendship.

We train new Home Team volunteers every January and July on the 3 rd Saturday of the month from 9am to 4pm.

2019 trainings will take place on

• January 19
• July 20

All volunteer paperwork, including a background check, must be completed and submitted to the Volunteer Coordinator before the deadline of the training.

Deadlines for submitting paperwork are:

• December 31, 2018 to attend the January 19 training
• June 30, 2019 to attend the July 20 training
