From Shelter to Stability
Volunteer at Works
Volunteers are the lifeblood of our organization and our program – they give our students unique perspectives on the real world and help expose our students to a variety of professionals with whom they are apt to encounter in the workplace. They are instructors, coaches, trainers, shoppers, organizers, and administrative aides. Most importantly, they help our staff to leverage its capacity to serve out our mission. We are grateful for their willingness to share their professional gifts, and for their enthusiasm and very presence in our building.
Trained volunteers are invited to view our class calendar to determine dates and times that they can assist in the classroom as resume writers, computer lab coaches, or as mock interviewers.
The following are a sampling of current volunteer opportunities:
