Project Overview At The Crossroads hosts a monthly Volunteer Prep Night every second Wednesday of the month. ATC depends greatly on the prep work that volunteers do during our Prep Nights. Volunteers will prep supplies as a group so that our counselors are able focus their time to provide as much support to our clients as possible. Please fill out this form in order to sign up for the event. If you have any questions, please email getinvolved@atthecrossroads.org. About At The Crossroads The mission of At The Crossroads is to reach out to homeless youth and young adults at their point of need, and work with them to build healthy and fulfilling lives. Our innovative model focuses on young people who do not access traditional services and are disconnected from any type of consistent support. We work with young people who others have given up on, who would not get help without us. We remove common barriers to service by bringing our counselors onto the streets, and shaping our support services around the needs of each individual client. Our goal is to help our clients build outstanding lives, not just lives of subsistence. Project Requirements & Important Notes We are located on Jessie St near Third and Mission. There is very limited street parking and often lots of traffic around our office. We recommend taking public transit or parking in one of the nearby garages. We are about 1.5 blocks from Montgomery BART/Muni Station. There are two hourly parking garages. Please do your part in keeping our community healthy. If you are immuno-compromised, at increased risk for severe illness, or feeling sick at all, please decline your registration to the event and register for a project at a less risky time. For additional resources and guidance on how to keep yourself healthy, visit the CDC website. If you are interested in signing up as a group, please email sarah@handsonbayarea.org. For a one-time $50 group sign-up fee, we can assist your team with signing up. Please note we are unable to customize our commUNITY calendar projects and are unable to increase the number of spots that are available. For groups wanting a custom project, please refer to our corporate volunteering program.

Project Overview Children's Fairyland will be hosting family events that celebrate our community. In the fall, these are the upcoming special events: Fairy Proud Arts and Crafts 9/7 & 9/8 Latinx Heritage Celebration 9/28 through 10/15 During these weekends, there will be a variety of activities (games, performances, children's books etc). For this specific opportunity, we are looking for arts and crafts volunteers from 9:30-1:00 or 12:30-3:45. Activities will take place in the Miss Muffet's Garden. Fairyland will provide the easy steps and talking points when engaging with children and their adults. This opportunity is perfect for arts and crafts enthusiasts who enjoy working with children of all ages. No experience necessary but basic understanding of art making is preferred. About Children's Fairyland A favorite way to think of our park was summed up in San Francisco magazine. Children’s Fairyland, they said, is "as miniature and uncynical as a toddler’s beating heart." We agree. Children’s Fairyland is, in many ways, a timeless reminder of the joys of standing three-feet tall. Project Requirements & Important Notes Close-toed shoes recommended, dress comfortably. We are 100% outdoors. Hats and sunscreen highly recommended. Volunteers will meet at the giant shoe outside the entrance. Please do your part in keeping our community healthy. If you are immuno-compromised, at increased risk for severe illness, or feeling sick at all, please decline your registration to the event and register for a project at a less risky time. For additional resources and guidance on how to keep yourself healthy, visit the CDC website. If you are interested in signing up as a group, please email sarah@handsonbayarea.org.
