This is all thanks to our amazing volunteers who worked to ensure the safety of all guests and members of our ROOTS community! However, in order to continue this level of sanitation and safety for our guests, volunteers, and staff, we are in need of additional volunteers at this moment.

Shelter Prep Shift (7pm-8:30pm): Volunteers will come in before the shelter opens for the evening to disinfect all shelter beds and deep clean the shelter space. We work to limit the number of volunteers during the Sanitation shift to help maintain safe distancing practices.

To ensure the safety of all guests, volunteers, and staff, we require all volunteers to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination and to wear face masks throughout the duration of their shift. Volunteers are free to bring in their own face masks or other PPE, and we can provide gloves and disposable face masks on-site. The wellbeing of our volunteers is of the utmost importance, and we only ask you to commit to volunteering if you are safely able to do so. Upon arriving to each shift, your Volunteer Supervisor or other staff will ask you questions listed on the ROOTS COVID-19 screening guide and will take your temperature. Staff and guests are screened in the same way upon entering the space. We appreciate your understanding in this process.

If you are interested in signing up for this position, fill out an application on our website at http://www.rootsinfo.org/get-involved/volunteer/volunteer-application/ for your own welcome packet and all the information you will need to volunteer with us.

We are in the process of establishing a Shared Housing program in Kitsap County. Residents will be newly released homeless prisoners who are already in the process of recovery from drugs and/or alcohol misuse. Housing source will be repurposed homes slated for demolition in approximately a year. We are using the Weld Seattle model, and are working closely with them. No drugs or alcohol will be allowed on the property.

Think of this as a halfway house, providing stable housing where the former inmate is able to continue the recovery process that was started behind bars. We help each person to become physically, mentally, and financially capable of living on their own. In nearly every case, this is not possible when the inmate is released into homelessness.

We are looking to add two board members who are familiar with homelessness, preferably the homeless population in Kitsap County. The board meets once a month for between 60 and 90 minutes.

We welcome any questions you may have.

Thank you!

Impact 

The community that Horn of Africa Services serves has many obstacles to overcome -- learning a new language, adapting to a new culture, and finding jobs in a tough job market, as well as preserving their culture and values. In particular, parents have the challenge of ensuring that their children receive a good education, when they themselves may have very little formal education and are low-income. Our volunteers support and empower immigrants and refugees in overcoming these challenges and building better lives for their families. As a Volunteer Coordinator, you would have the opportunity to become a mentor and leader, impacting students' education and futures as well play a big role in increasing the organization’s capacity to expand its services for the community it serves. 

Schedule 

Our preferred schedule for this position is Monday-Thursday 4:30PM-6:30PM, but we can be flexible.
