Current Volunteer Opportunities with Emergency Services
Volunteers are essential in ensuring warming shelters and cooling centers are accessible and operational. As a volunteer, you’ll work alongside MWVCAA staff to put COMPASSION IN MOTION. Some of the things you’ll get to do are assist with site set up and teardown, check guests in and out, monitor shelter spaces to ensure the safety of guests, provide navigation assistance and distribute supplies, and ensure a clean environment for guests by conducting routine cleaning such as sweeping, moping, wiping down touch surfaces, and taking out trash.
To get involved at Emergency Services, please complete a Volunteer Application. Below is list of our current volunteer opportunities. If nothing seems like a good fit, feel free to reach out with ideas. We are always open to exploring new opportunities. If you have questions, please contact us.
