Onsite Volunteers:

Volunteering can be very rewarding and provides great opportunities to meet other volunteers and guests.

There are two main “onsite” shifts with multiple individuals covering each shift.

• Evenings (6:00pm to 10:00pm): Setup as needed (paperwork, cots, supplies, etc), check-in guests, and supervise smoke breaks.
• Mornings (6:00am to 8:30am): Prepare for guests departure (put out breakfast, prepare coffee, etc), wake guests with an alarm, supervise a smoke break, check-out guests (return personal belongings and medication), ensure all dirty linen is in laundry bags, store paperwork, and fold tables to return the Center to regular facility day use.

Onsite volunteers must be 18 or older, be willing to undergo a background check, and complete both online and onsite training.

Offsite Volunteers:

There is still plenty of work to do! Register in our volunteer management system, Bloomerang Volunteer, and opportunities will be posted and announced as different needs arise. Offsite volunteers do not interact with guests.

Examples of “offsite” opportunities:

• Tabling – Staff informational tables at outreach events in the county — such as at USU sports events and community events.
• Collateral creation – Use tools like Canva to make custom flyers.
• Cleaning – Deep clean Champ Hall in St. John’s Episcopal Church, where we operate.

Offsite volunteers can be 17 or younger, but will need parental permission and/or supervision.

Volunteer Groups | Sundays:

Have a group that’s looking for a quick, one-time service project? Sign-up to help the Warming Center take-down and set-up cots on Sunday mornings and evenings!

• Take down cots
• Set up cots
• Set out pillows, blankets, and sheets

There is no age restriction on individuals participating in volunteer groups — however we do require one individual to be over the age of 18.

All volunteers are required to sign a waiver — if an individual is a minor, a parent or guardian’s signature is required.
