Volunteer with Our Emergency Shelter – Make a Lasting Impact YMCA Homeless Shelter Volunteer Opportunity

Description

Looking for a meaningful way to give back to your community? Join our team of dedicated volunteers at the YMCA Emergency Shelter, where we provide a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for individuals experiencing homelessness.

We’re seeking compassionate and reliable volunteers to assist with essential morning operations that help guests transition out of the shelter and start their day with dignity.

Volunteer Responsibilities Include:

  • Wake-Up Support (6:00 AM): Gently wake guests in a calm, caring manner to help them prepare for the day ahead.

  • Guest Departures (6:00–7:00 AM): Assist guests with gathering belongings, encourage timely departures, and offer support as needed.

  • Morning Clean-Up (6:00–7:00 AM): Help with light cleaning and resetting the space to ensure the shelter remains clean and welcoming.

Preferred Shift Commitment:

  • Morning Shift: 6:00 AM – 7:00 AM

  • Volunteers able to assist with both morning and evening shifts are especially valued.

Why Volunteer?
Your time, presence, and compassion can help create a safer, more stable experience for individuals facing homelessness. Every shift is an opportunity to show care, offer dignity, and make a positive difference in someone’s life.
