Bilingual Support: Volunteer your language skills!
ORGANIZATION: Downtown Streets Team Redwood City
Please visit the new page to apply.
At Downtown Streets Team, we empower individuals who are currently experiencing or at risk for homelessness to be a part of their own solution through the dignity of work. In exchange for their work beautifying our community, our Team Members receive case management services and assistance in their search for long-term employment.
Our Team in Redwood City is extremely language-diverse; nearly half of our Team Members are more comfortable speaking Spanish than English. We are looking for enthusiastic, empathetic volunteers who are fluent in both Spanish and English to help facilitate communications between our Spanish speaking Team Members and English speaking staff and Team Members.
While hours can be flexible, we would prefer it if you can make it to some or all of our weekly success meetings, which happen from 12:00pm-1:00pm every Wednesday behind the Redwood City Public Library.

Mission Statement
Downtown Streets Team's mission is to build Teams that restore dignity, inspire hope, and provide a pathway to recover from homelessness. Team Members volunteer their time to help beautify their community, and in exchange for their work they receive employment specialist and case management services to help them meet their goals, as well as a non-cash stipend to help them cover basic needs as they get back on their feet. We believe that the dignity our Teams provide is a powerful tool to motivate Team Members to be a part of their own solution. In the words of one of our Team Members, DST is a win-win-win situation: it's a win for the Team Member, a win for the community, and a win for the environment. Come join us in breaking down barriers and ending homelessness one day at a time!
