At DESC, we recognize that ending homelessness requires a
strong commitment from all members of our community - from government
officials to concerned individuals. In light of this, we do our
best to partner with others throughout Seattle and King County to
collectively serve the most vulnerable members of our community.
Below are some of the most frequently asked questions by prospective
volunteers:
Q: What type of time
commitment
will I have to make?
A:
We ask
individual volunteers to commit to 6 months of service.
Continuity and dependability are very important to the success of the
volunteer program. Shifts vary from 2-6 hours depending on
volunteer position and location.
Groups are encouraged to volunteer for one-time projects. Email the Volunteer Coordinator
to inquire about a particular time your group is available.
Q: I work all
week. Are there
opportunities available for me to volunteer?
A: We
have shifts in the evenings and on the weekends.
Q: I'm
only 17 years old, is that ok?
A:
Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age. There are no
exceptions.
Q: Do I
get to choose where I volunteer at?
A: You
may choose from any of the positions listed in our list of current volunteer
opportunities.
If you have
additional questions please contact the Volunteer and
Donations
Coordinator at (206) 515-1517, or email volunteers@desc.org.
