    Program Assistant - Rochester Overnight Shelter

    Volunteer Shift Opportunities at our Overnight Shelter, 200 4th St SE Rochester MN 55904:

    Check-In Help – Evenings daily 7:30 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.

    In this role, volunteers play an instrumental part in preparing the shelter for opening. Volunteers assist guests with check-in, help secure their belongings, and offer support as they get settled for the evening. This may include helping guests with laundry, providing toiletries for showers, or simply offering a welcoming presence. Volunteers may also assist with serving dinner and completing light cleaning in the kitchen area.

    Exit Help – Mornings daily 6:00 a.m. – 8:30 a.m.

    Morning volunteers help staff prepare the kitchen area for breakfast by setting up cold cereal, instant oatmeal, and coffee. Volunteers also assist in creating a smooth and respectful start to the day as guests prepare to leave the shelter.
