Want to Volunteer? Need Volunteers? START HERE
One of the most common questions the Sutter Yuba Homeless Consortium receives is, “How can I help?” or “Where can I volunteer?”
While volunteer opportunities with the Consortium itself are typically available once a year during our annual Point-in-Time Count, many of our partner agencies and subgrantees offer volunteer opportunities year-round.
To make it easier to get involved, we’ve added a “Volunteer” link on our website (found under the “More” tab). There, community members can explore current volunteer opportunities and follow direct links to sign up with participating organizations.
Check it out—and share it with a friend!
https://www.syhomelessconsortium.org/volunteer
To add your agencies volunteer opportunity to the site, contact April Buck at
ceassist@syhomelessconsortium.org or (530) 845-2863.
