Program Assistants
The shelter could not exist without the wonderful staff who help support and care for the residents. We love our staff and appreciate their time and talents which help make the shelter a viable part of our community.
Our Program Assistants play an essential role in managing the day-to-day tasks, answering phone calls, and supporting residents of our program. They provide valuable support to all potential, current, and past residents, even if there are no available beds for those in need. Although they do not directly offer case management services, our Program Assistants guide residents towards resources that can be helpful to them.
If you are interested in joining our team, please considering applying as a Program Assistant or Volunteer!
