Support Youth Experiencing Homelessness

We are seeking volunteers to provide direct support to young people experiencing homelessness through Safe Haven, a dedicated program that provides daytime shelter and basic needs and services to youth living on the streets. Safe Haven volunteers help serve food, grab mail, answer questions, and provide general support to our program staff. This is an ongoing, high-touch volunteer role that requires approximately five hours of training, a background check, and a six-month service commitment.
