Your Unique Skills Matter

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What if your expertise could fill a crucial gap in our work supporting Boulder’s unhoused residents? We believe that everything needed to create paths toward stability and dignity already exists within our community—we just need to connect these resources in creative ways.

While our regular volunteer positions at the shelter kitchen and supply window are essential to our daily operations, we recognize that ending homelessness requires diverse talents.  Perhaps your professional skills, personal hobbies, or innovative ideas could play a key role in our mission.

Email our volunteer team today to explore how your unique contributions might help us build a city where everyone has a place to call home.
