Volunteer Programs

Homes First’s volunteer programming is a lynchpin of all Community Development and Engagement initiatives, and directly contributes to the mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing of hundreds of our community members every single day. We have a strong focus on programming and volunteer opportunities that contribute to building life skills and wellness Key programs – activated at numerous housing and shelter programs – include relationship coaching (i.e., direct emotional support), arts programs, bingo, yoga, financial literacy and writing workshops. Volunteer opportunities can also be less resident involved but still have a significant impact on working towards our mission. Volunteer opportunities like administrative assistance, landscaping and gardening assistants, donations room attendants or assisting with events and fundraising initiatives are vital to our organization.
