New Horizons provides services to youth and young adults experiencing homelessness in our community between the ages of 18 and 25. At our shelter, we provide three meals a day including lunch and dinner, offer access to self-care facilities (showers, laundry, clothing, haircuts) and provide 35 emergency shelter beds 7 nights per week. Additionally, our case management team assists with everything from securing housing to job coaching and financial literacy, and our city contracts allow us to host free medical clinics, mental health counseling, and dental care on site. Above all, New Horizons provides a safe and welcoming space for this at-risk population of Seattle youth and young adults. Direct Service Volunteers interact directly with youth and young adults in the shelter. DST Volunteers will have the opportunity to participate in multiple activities including arts and crafts, games, employment services, karaoke singing, and dinner with young adults. DST Volunteers will go through a 1 1/2 hour Direct Service Volunteer Training / Orientation before volunteering in the shelter. Volunteers must pass a background check. DST Volunteers will work directly with Day Program Staff.

Serving a prepared dinner to youth and young adults (18 - 25 years of age) experiencing homelessness. At New Horizons, food group volunteers prepare or order dinner meals seven days a week. By becoming a food group, you have the opportunity to partner with us, providing the consistency of a hot, home-cooked meal to the youth and young adults while they also receive resources and access to services designed to help lead them towards housing. As a food group volunteer, you and up to 5 others will prepare a meal of your choice for approximately 30 individuals either in-house at our New Horizons commercial grade kitchen (preferred), or from your own home to drop off at the shelter at dinner time. For volunteers wishing to prepare in house, you may arrive as early as 5pm, finishing up by 8:30pm. For volunteers opting to drop off meals, we ask that meals are dropped off by 6:45pm. Dinner is served between 7:00pm - 8:15pm. If you are not interested in providing a meal, we are also looking for volunteers who would like to serve dinner. When meals are dropped off by food groups, volunteer servers are needed. Serving time would be between 6:00pm - 8:30pm. Currently, everyone in the facility, including staff, young adults, and volunteers are required to wear a mask, except when eating or drinking a beverage. We are currently requiring volunteers who are in the facility for longer than 15 minutes to provide proof of vaccination. If you have any questions, please reach out to our Volunteer Coordinator, Rodney Scott (rodneys@nhmin.org or call 206.374.0866) so we can give you more detailed information on this volunteer opportunity. Thank you for your interest in supporting New Horizons!
