We are looking for civic clubs, businesses, churches, or simply groups of friends, neighbors, families, or individuals who will come together and commit to preparing and delivering a healthy meal to Gardenview Village's 30-40 guests. You have the power to decide how frequently you can commit—one time only, weekly, or monthly—whichever best fits your schedule. We especially need meal deliveries towards the end of the month.

Kitchen facilities in Gardenview Village are limited, so food must be prepared offsite and delivered. Road2Home volunteers often foster personal connections with the folks we serve. By providing each Gardenview Village guest with healthy meals, positive interactions, and encouragement, you can make a significant difference in their lives.  

Through Road2Home's work, meaningful relationships are built, and hope for better futures is created.

Do you have three hours weekly to commit to a regular shift at Gardenview Village? While there, you will help our staff take care of the requests and needs of the village's guests.  You may also be asked to help complete daily routine tasks such as watering plants, stocking bathroom and kitchen supplies, etc.... 

This position will allow you to meet many wonderful people from our community who also volunteer in different capacities and donors who drop by with in-kind gifts to share with the guests we serve. You will also build meaningful relationships with the folks served in Road2Home's programs and services.

We're looking for people who can commit to one afternoon a week from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. or 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.  If you are willing, you could commit to one six-hour afternoon from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.  You tell us the day you will be consistently available, and we will put you in that timeslot on the master schedule.  

Step one is to complete the Road2Home Volunteer Application at this link:  https://www.jotform.com/211485377281157.  We look forward to working with you!

Are you handy to have around? Do you love to fix, replace, or repair? Gardenview Village needs you!

Volunteers should be experienced in general maintenance in the area where they specialize. They will be asked to assess a problem and suggest a good solution to remedy a the issue.

We need volunteer allies!! We currently have a waitlist of participants needing social support and allyship. 

As an ally, you'll provide companionship, connect clients with resources, serve as a liaison with their case manager, and help them achieve their goals. The best part is that you can do all this at a pace that suits you and your partner-participant. Our primary focus is on fostering connection and building a trusting relationship. 

Depending on what you prefer and what you're available, you may be paired with a guest at the Gardenview Village tiny homes or an individual in the community.

Being an ally is not just a volunteer role; it's an opportunity to make a significant difference in someone's life. Road2Home provides a community of fellow allies to learn from and connect with. We also offer in-depth training for allies, which covers trauma-informed care, creating boundaries, strategies to help clients realize their goals, local resources, and more. This comprehensive support ensures you feel prepared and confident in your role as an ally, ready to make a positive impact.

Being an ally requires a six-month commitment, during which you meet with a client in person twice a month and are available for phone calls or texts.

To help ensure a successful Ally experience, you must complete a Road2Home volunteer training class and an Ally orientation before being assigned a program partner. These sessions are designed to introduce our work, enrich your understanding of homelessness in our community, and help ensure a rewarding volunteer experience. You will also have access to our experienced staff trained in trauma-informed principles to guide you. We want your Ally Program experience to be rewarding for you and your partner!

We are thrilled about the possibility of working with you and the positive impact you can make as an ally. Your contribution is highly valued, and we look forward to welcoming you to our team soon!

At U-District Mentoring, we believe that everyone has something to offer as a mentor. It doesn’t take much to greatly impact a child's life. By showing up consistently, for four hours each month, you can help to decrease depression symptoms, increase self confidence, and encourage higher educational goals for your mentee. Forming these relationships and expanding a child’s horizons can be one of the most rewarding experiences.

Unlike other mentoring programs, we don’t have a waitlist of children. Instead, we intentionally match the mentor and the child based on interests and experiences. Hoping to be matched with a child that likes to paint or play sports? With the help of school counselors, we work to find that perfect match. 

The commitment level is easy, even for the busiest of people. You can create the schedule and get to plan each outing!

Ready to make an impact on a child's life and your community?

Volunteer Testimonials:  

How it feels to be a tutor at YTP: "like I'm helping, maybe if only a little bit, to the students becoming better learners and advocates for themselves" - a current tutor at YTP  

We asked our volunteers what they enjoy most about tutoring with YTP:  

"The students are amazing and I learn something new from them every session"  

"Getting to know the kids... which is a huge difference from other youth outreach experiences. They teach me... how to be better at teaching and are just fun to hang out with"  

"I think my favorite memories will always be watching my student experience "Aha!" moments. Realizing that I am helping this student learn something they previously had trouble with is very satisfying. I also appreciate the strong relationship that we have formed over the year and value it."  

How This Helps Our Community:  

We welcome everyone who wants to help and particularly encourage members of the Black community and people of color to volunteer with us. Almost all of YTP's students are people of color and roughly 85% come from immigrant families and many of our students are of East African descent. We believe African-American tutors will support them in navigating American culture, as tutoring is not only about academics but relationship building and socio-emotional support. We need your help to strengthen our diverse community and raise our collective efforts to improve our students' education across the city.
