Opportunity Details
Volunteer Seminar + Training
We know, we know, you want to start volunteering right away! But trust us - we all have a lot to learn about homelessness. And providing incorrect support (however well-intentioned) can worsen the problem you're trying to solve. We want to set you up to make the biggest impact you can!
YOUR ACTIVITY: You will receive an overview of the root causes of homelessness, evidence-based solutions, and best practices for applying trauma-informed care when engaging with individuals transitioning out of homelessness. Upon completion, you will be better prepared to make a meaningful impact and will be approved to participate in volunteer opportunities involving direct interaction with our program participants.
