Everything we do is made possible by the help of our dedicated volunteers. Since the time we hired a volunteer coordinator, we've seen an increase to 22 active shelter volunteers and 12 housing development volunteers! We also now have a volunteer training program in place to ensure our helpers are equipped with the tools and understanding they need.
Additionally, our activities coordinator helped us offer 81 different programs last month, ranging from job training and growth mindset workshops to yoga and art. We've also hosted five special events including a karaoke night, summer kick off, poetry slam, magic show, and patriotic concert.
Whether our volunteers are spearheading a community clean up, donating supplies, preparing dinner, or hosting resource events, their time, talent, and tenacity directly touch the lives of our clients.
