Volunteer Opportunities for Individuals
One person can make a real difference for homeless youth. Volunteers sort in-kind donations to ensure they get to youth quickly. They tutor those studying for GED exams. They cook dinner at housing programs. They plant flowers.
By doing these things, and many more, they demonstrate to these young people that this community is there, now and always, to take care of them. They also help YouthCare keep its costs down — and allow our staff to focus on their main work: getting homeless youth off the streets and preparing for life.
Interested in volunteering? Here's what we typically look for in a volunteer:
- Willingness to support our community's homeless youth
