Are you looking for a fun volunteer opportunity, and a chance to work directly with the families being served? We are currently looking to recruit volunteers to help us with our monthly "Family Game Nights" and "Family Movie Nights" at People Serving People's downtown shelter.
The Family Engagement Program aims to provide stress relief, community building and meaning making for families living in shelter by building an engrossing, entertaining and enriching menu of family activities.
Tasks include assisting staff in the set-up and cleanup of the event, facilitate games for children and families, participate in activities alongside families, and distributing/restocking snacks and beverages. In addition, volunteers may be asked to help with check-in to track total number of families participating and to welcome families to the engagement.
The event is an "open house” activity for families, meaning the amount of participation for our guests may vary. We ask our volunteers to be adaptable to PSP to changes in need or activities as they arise.
These events are open to all our families, though you will primarily be working with children between the ages of 6 -12. We welcome volunteers to bring any age appropriate games that they'd like to offer to guests at our shelter!
