Volunteers can either serve at the Evergreen Crisis Shelter Program or at the Evergreen Youth Services Program. Volunteers will get the opportunity to experience what it is like to work in youth intervention. There are a variety of opportunities for volunteers within the organization such as working directly with youth, participating in off-ground activities, sitting in on group learning sessions and much more. Volunteers can even get the opportunity to help behind the scenes to support the mission by helping with such things as meal preparation, shelter maintenance, and gardening. We are also seeking dedicated individuals to assist with case management needs.
