    Description

    Hope Cooperative provides behavioral health and supportive housing services for people with mental health challenges. As a client-driven organization, it is dedicated to the independence and empowerment of individuals with psychiatric disabilities and co-occurring substance use disorders including those experiencing homelessness. Two volunteers are needed to serve as wellness center associates. The wellness center makes a critical difference by providing a space where members can engage in activities focused on personal growth and community building, rather than activities that could jeopardize their sobriety and stable mental health. The responsibilities of the volunteers include nurturing a welcoming and safe environment, planning and implementing small group activities, and supporting clients with referrals to resources.
