Opportunity Description:

As a House or Family Room volunteer, you provide a warm and welcoming environment for our guest families. This role requires charismatic individuals who are comfortable greeting guests and will help ensure that families who visit us feel safe and comfortable and have the information they’ll need throughout their visit. Volunteers will provide a range of support, including arranging activities, play time with kids, baking treats for our families, and engaging with visitors of all ages to ensure they feel “at home”.  Volunteers will also contribute to the upkeep of our family spaces. Our House and Family Room Volunteers are asked to commit a four hour weekly shift for a minimum of eight months. Candidates must pass our screening procedure and be at least 18 years old. As we prepare to open our new house, we are looking to grow our volunteer team. Our goal is to have 50 more active volunteers by October to support the new house and the additional families we will be welcoming. Volunteers are the heart of our home, providing a warm and caring environment for families during challenging times. How You Can Help: Spread the Word: Share our exciting news and volunteer needs with your networks. Join Us: Consider becoming a volunteer yourself! You can take a virtual tour of our current house to see what a stay with us looks like.
