ShelterCare employees, partner agencies, and volunteers work together for the benefit, support, and ultimately the success of all ShelterCare communities. Every year hundreds of people volunteer at ShelterCare. We absolutely could not do it without you.
Volunteer
There are many opportunities for volunteers throughout ShelterCare, from helping painting a building to teaching someone how to ride the bus or grocery shop.
Additionally, ShelterCare regularly needs volunteers to help out with exciting fundraising events. Volunteers can also:
- Help residents learn life skills including things like balancing a checkbook, nutritional meal planning, cooking skills or using public transportation.
- Share your expertise in art, music, exercise, etc.
- Be a mentor; perhaps bring a group to help with landscaping, painting, or volunteering for one of our special events.
Interested in working most directly with our programs and clients consider:
Companion/Life Skills Instructor
You can help residents who have been disabled by a brain injury or mental illness to learn life skills that are vital in their ability to live independently. Help a resident to go shopping, learn to ride a bus, or cook a meal. Just visiting with them can make a significant difference in their recovery.
Activity Group Instructor
Help our residents with a mental illness or brain injury to gain new life skills while having a great time being social. Teach a group in arts & crafts, cooking, yoga, music — or whatever it is that you love to do!
