Individual Volunteer Opportunities
Individual volunteers work in almost every aspect of our program, depending on their skills and interests. Our volunteers do important work at Transition House, like holding babies in the Infant Care Center, making art or music with a group of children in the evening enrichment program, or tutoring a child in their math homework in the After School Program. Other Transition House volunteers meet the immediate needs of our families by keeping the shelter running smoothly at night, making lunches, providing dinner, and lending an ear as a shelter assistant or screener. Volunteers experienced in human resources and/or computer skills can work directly with our clients in the career development program, where they provide skills training and encouragement for the clients’ job search. Volunteers also provide backup support by helping with fundraising and administrative tasks.
Group Volunteer Opportunities
Groups find Transition House an excellent place to work together to make a difference in the Santa Barbara community. Many groups provide dinner for our residents once monthly. Other groups make lunches or bring baked goodies. Some groups adopt an weekend day to provide the many Transition House children with safe, fun, and supportive activities. Groups can also volunteer to spend a day organizing and cleaning Transition House so it sparkles when the families come home. There are endless possibilities for drives: clothes, bus tokens, snack foods, toothpaste . . . whatever interests you:
Why volunteer?
Make a difference in someone’s life. Learn a new skill. Connect with others who care. Volunteerism can open the door to new careers. We can work together to make Santa Barbara a better place. It could be your chance to give back. The influence of one adult can make a great impact on a child’s life.
Get Involved
Volunteer commitments range from 2 hours monthly to 10 hours weekly, or even one-time projects. Hours vary according to volunteer availability, particular positions, and program needs. People of all walks of life find they can make a difference at Transition House. For more information about volunteer opportunities, contact Linnea Koopmans our volunteer coordinator.
