INFORMATION FOR VOLUNTEERSVolunteers are a very important component in the shelter community. Volunteers may have opportunities for impacting the youth personally as they serve as tutors, mentors, activity directors, music and visual art instructors, and more. These one-on-one times are often the point of most personal connection and therefore hold great potential for developing a vision that gives hope for the future.
Volunteers will receive basic orientation and training and will participate in helping to frame the youth’s action plan. If you are interested in being a volunteer with Youth Empowerment Shelter, contact us at yesyouth17@gmail.com, or call (541) 993-0542 and talk to Linda. You will need to complete an application and give references. Volunteers, like all staff, must be able to pass a background check and a drug test. Volunteer Opportunities ·
