Volunteer Opportunity description

Recruiting Outreach Counselors to work with Homeless youth in DC.Street outreach counselors are needed to work with homeless youth (14-25) in DC. No experience necessary, just a desire to give back to your community and help youth. We provide a daylong training, the next one will be Saturday December 8th from 10a-4pm at the Martin Luther King Jr. Library at 901 G Street NW in DC. If you want to volunteer but don't want to do street outreach, we have opportunities for you as well! Take our online orientation and find out how you can get involved!
