CHILDREN’S PROGRAMS: As a part of Carpenter’s Children’s Program, volunteers read with the children, play games, open the playroom, and facilitate craft activities every evening. During the school year, volunteers participate as tutors for all grade levels and subjects. On Saturdays, we have different groups that take the children on outings. Current openings for the Activity Hour are Mondays, Thursdays, and Sundays from 7:00 PM- 8:00 PM. HOSPITALITY VOLUNTEERS: These volunteers oversee the hospitality desk-greeting residents, visitors, and volunteers. They answer phones, accept small donations, and hand out toiletry items to our residents. The front desk is staffed from 7:00 AM-11:00 PM every day, in 2-6 hour shifts. JOB MENTORING: These professionals assist residents with resumes, employment applications, job search skills and mock interviews. This group meets Saturdays from 9:00 AM- 11:00 AM. There is also potential to serve as a “back-up” for this group during the week in the evening. DAVID’S PLACE VOLUNTEERS: David’s Place is a daytime drop-in center which is a warm, safe respite from the street for those people that cannot or do not choose to use a shelter. Volunteers assist the program director in delivering services to members, which includes membership intakes, laundry services, coffee and snack set-up, answering phones, and monitoring member activities. Flexible day hours. HYPOTHERMIA VOLUNTEERS: Our Winter Shelter is open from November through April to house additional people overnight during the colder months. Volunteers help to set up the additional beds, assist with intakes, and process the required paperwork. Every evening from 6:45 PM-8:30 PM. SPECIAL SKILLS VOLUNTEERS: We also rely on individuals to teach
adult literacy, ESL classes and basic computer classes. We depend on the
professional community for pro bono work in the areas of accounting, law,
medicine, and carpentry.
