    Description

    Women's Shelter: At-Shelter Laundry Support

    Support Women in Minneapolis as They Overcome Barriers to Housing

    At The Valiance, Agate’s Women’s Shelter in south Minneapolis, we provide 24-7, long-stay shelter where up to 64 guests have a safe place to eat, sleep, relax, and work with Agate staff to overcome barriers to housing. Learn more about Agate at www.agatemn.org and learn more about the Valiance shelter at www.agatemn.org/valiance.

    As a volunteer, you can be part of the team that makes The Valiance a welcoming, comforting place where the women we serve feel safe and respected.

    Participation Requirements

    • Work independently
    • Interview with Agate team member(s)
    • Age 18+ years
    • Compassion, empathy, and patience for all human beings, regardless of housing status, mental health, or chemical health
    • Orientation and Training by Agate staff
    • Can’t have been an Agate program participant for the past 2 years

    What will volunteers do?

    At The Valiance we launder bed linens and our guests’ personal items. We have new, high-capacity washers and dryers that make this task easier. We are seeking volunteers who can make an ongoing, longer-term commitment to help with this task.

    Volunteers needed on any day of the week from:

    • 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM
    • 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM

    What will volunteers need to bring or wear?

    Nothing to bring but your good attitude and willingness to help! For what to wear - the shelter is always casual. Please refrain from offensive clothing.
