BRC Fulton House is a Brooklyn-based, 48 bed, transitional housing program targeting formerly homeless clients who are either mentally ill or dually diagnosed as mentally ill and chemically addicted. The mission is to provide a safe and supportive environment where residents take part in rehabilitation interventions that will assist them in the attainment of their work, social, and community living goals. A variety of services are available, including case management, substance abuse groups, medication monitoring, daily skills training, and recreational activities.

This particular BRC facility is fortunate to house a very small gym. Admittedly, some equipment may be outdated; it would be so helpful if you were able to help us determine if it's still viable. We would also love to put your healthy skillset to use and host a very small, or one-on-one, weekly exercise class onsite if possible.

Please note, due to the current pandemic, all in-person volunteers will be asked for the following:

• Proof of COVID-19 vaccination prior to your assignment
• Proof of your booster if you have met the time frame that would allow you to receive one:
  • If you received the single dose Johnson and Johnson vaccine you are eligible for the booster after 2 months
  • If you received the two-dose Pfizer vaccine, you are eligible for the booster 5 months after receiving your second dose
  • If you received the two-dose Moderna vaccine, you are eligible for the booster 5 months after receiving your second dose
• Temperature check upon arrival for your shift
• Masks must be worn at all times when onsite
• Regular, ongoing hand-washing during your shift
• Social distancing guidelines must be followed

If you are interested in lending a hand with this effort, please reach out for more details.

Please note: Any/all potential volunteers must complete a New Volunteer Registration form, which can be found at the following link: http://www.brc.org/volunteer-registration . Once received, you will then be sent an invitation to participate in an orientation via Zoom.
