Help Create A Life-Changing RESOURCE GUIDE for Community Members In Need!
Smart, Organized, Detail-Oriented Volunteer Needed
Flexible schedule - Much of the work can be done remotely
Tasks will include:
- Research (programs, criteria/how to apply, location/hours)
- Organizing the information
- Resource Guide design and layout (for both print and digital use)
We are looking for a volunteer to help us complete a new life-saving tool - a project that has already been started by a previous volunteer. The Resource Guide would be used internally by BOSS staff, and we would also distribute it to other service providers and to people in need.
This is a HIGHLY IMPACTFUL PROJECT that will help hundreds if not thousands of community members!!!

Since 1971 BOSS has provided housing and services to over 1,500 homeless people each year. We have programs for both single adults and families with children. Most BOSS participants are dealing with multiple challenges: mental illness, substance abuse, domestic violence, illiteracy, lack of job skills, social isolation, trauma, and entrenched feelings of exhaustion and hopelessness. BOSS programs focus on teaching life skills, connecting people with community resources, and creating supportive and positive environments that motivate people and build hope.
Our services address 4 areas:
- HOUSING: Shelter, transitional/special needs housing, permanent housing assistance.
- HEALTH: Physical and mental health services, medication monitoring, drug/alcohol recovery counseling, socialization, case management for the seriously mentally ill.
- ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: Job readiness assessments, resume-building, job search assistance, job development with employers, job creation, adult education.
- SOCIAL JUSTICE: Community building, leadership development, and collaborative action campaigns on targeted policy goals.
