Give Haircuts to Lantern Residents!

WHO WE ARE:
Lantern is grounded in the mission to champion the independence and well-being of New Yorkers who are impacted by or threatened with homelessness. Our objective is to make sure that our residents can find and maintain stable housing through emergency shelter and supportive housing. Our on-site social services bring residents and staff together to create opportunities for personal recovery, wellness and growth. We have 16 supportive housing buildings located in Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx, and three shelters based in Manhattan and Queens.

We are looking for professional beauticians who can provide hair services to our diverse Lantern residents. Our residents come from diverse backgrounds, with a wide range of hairstyles and textures. A good haircut can make all the difference in a person's life, empowering them to be the best version of themselves and even prepare for professional development. If you have experience cutting hair, especially diverse hair textures, please consider volunteering your time with Lantern!

Lantern provides housing and comprehensive supportive services for individuals and families affected by homelessness, mental health concerns and chronic illness, as well as young adults who have aged out of foster care. To ensure the ongoing safety of populations served, our government funders require all volunteers to undergo a background check. For in-person volunteers, they must undergo a background check and fingerprinting. For any questions regarding background checks and/or fingerprinting, please contact Human Resources at isadyr@lanterncommunity.org.

If you're interested in this volunteer opportunity, please submit an inquiry through VolunteerMatch directly or email us directly at volunteer@lanterncommunity.org!
