Engage with South Minneapolis shelter guests (Evenings) - shifts through year end!

About the event:

This is an ongoing opportunity. We are looking for volunteers who are able to help out at least once per week, for at least 3 months.

The Valiance is a newly built shelter and affordable apartment complex located in the Longfellow neighborhood of South Minneapolis. The newly constructed property is owned and operated by Agate Housing and Services in partnership with Trellis Management. The Valiance will work with women who are experiencing homelessness in Hennepin County. The building itself is special because it was built using input from people with lived experience of homelessness, leading to a one-of-a-kind building designed specifically for people experiencing homelessness.

What will volunteers do?

Volunteers will primarily engage with the shelter guests and assist shelter staff as needed. Some of the primary tasks that volunteers will be assisting shelter staff with include:

• Helping prepare & serve dinner to guests
• Cleaning up the dining hall after dinner
• Helping with laundry on the 2nd floor as needed
• Encouraging guests to go upstairs at 7:00

What will volunteers need to bring or wear?

Closed toe shoes and comfortable clothes
