​

Description: With a small team of high school and university student volunteers, you will direct a 60-minute workshop, either in-person or online, on homelessness for an elementary-level classroom. You will run interactive activities to build empathy and engage in important dialogues with students about the origins of homelessness and why they matter.

​

If willing, you may also be tasked with picking up the cards at select locations. Training provided.

​

Team Expectations:

​

• Time Commitment: Minimum ~3 hrs/month, though subject to vary. Every volunteer is required to oversee at least one workshop and one card pick-up per month, with each volunteer cycle being around six months. 

• We also require our members to be responsive to email communication and commit to being present and punctual for the workshops they choose to sign up for

 

*Please note that although we arrange workshops based on our volunteers' schedules, workshops often take place during regular school hours (9am-3pm) and may require you to miss one or two hours of class time each month.
