We are primarily a volunteer organization. We need a volunteer, virtual works well for us, who can undertake certain projects. We are a volunteer-driven organization and therefore everything we complete is done by volunteers. We have hundreds of projects going at any given time and always much more work than can be done. We need help with everything from simple thank you letters, to re-drafting program manuals. Some of our projects offer certificates of learning in various fields. We also have a stipend program for volunteers who have been homeless for any period of time in their past. You can contact us directly at lh@homelessfl.org, view our website at homelessfl.org which also has our volunteer application.
Type of help:
Description: The Coalition provides a number of services for people, including children, experiencing homelessness. We are a volunteer led and operated organization. Everyone you meet here will probably be a volunteer, many of them serving many hours a month. This is not a one and done. We find that our best volunteers are those who care deeply about helping people experiencing homelessness. Those not passionate about the cause tend to move along at some point or get easily overwhelmed by other thing in life. Most people are attracted to our "Pay the Rent First" Program which provides first, last, and security to homeless families. All our family mentors are volunteers who are able to help mostly single mothers and young children get settled. Other priorities are assistance with fundraising, so we can house more families, education programs for specific groups and for members of the public, collaboration with other like-minded groups, advocacy, and volunteer training and development. Whatever your skill set, if you have time to help us, we can find work for you to do that will make a meaningful difference. We were incorporated in 1989 and received our 501(c)3 in 1992. Over the years our work has changed and will continue to be responsive to community needs. I will end by telling you that we desperately need volunteers for many different positions (except feeding the homeless on Thanksgiving or Christmas or any other day). Whatever your skills, if you have time to contribute and care about the cause, we can use you.
