VOLUNTEERS

Volunteers are an integral part of the Rosehedge/Multifaith Works community. However you feel called to serve, there's a place for you! 

Shanti

Seattle Shanti's unique network of volunteers offers one-to-one emotional support to people living with HIV/AIDS or other life-challenging illnesses, their loved ones, or those grieving a loss. By providing active, non-judgmental listening and a comforting, sustaining relationship, Shanti volunteers help empower clients to identify and meet their own needs. Please contact us at 206.324.1520 ext. 228  or contact Nika Short, Shanti Program Coordinator, for more information.

Care Teams

Many men and women in our community are isolated and miss meaningful connections due to living with HIV/AIDS and/or chemical dependency.  Rosehedge/Multifaith Works' CareTeam Program unites small groups of compassionate individuals called "CareTeams" with a person or household facing these life-threatening challenges.  

CareTeams consist of four to seven volunteers who join together to support their "CarePartner."  CareTeams provide practical and emotional support that encourages CarePartners to find meaningful connections and healing relationships. Familiar CareTeam activities include sharing a meal, social gatherings, trasportation to appointments, phone calls, birthday parties, extending a listening ear, or a helping hand. 

For more information or questions, please contact the CareTeam program at 206.324.1520 x226 or careteams@rosehedge.org.

Upcoming CareTeam Volunteer Training in 2012:

The next CareTeam training will be held on Saturday, October 27th.

Breakfast and lunch are provided

Other Volunteer Opportunities

Rosehedge/Multifaith Works Housing Program Volunteer Group Projects

Volunteer service group projects are a fun and rewarding way to bring together volunteers for a one-time day of service with Rosehedge/Multifaith Works. Projects take place in Housing Program Houses, that consists of five homes throughout Seattle for people who are living with AIDS. Projects may include: light cleaning, gardening, general maintenance, cookie baking, and offering friendship and non-judgmental emotional support. For further information, please contact Rosehedge/Multifaith Works at 206.324.1520 x229.

Moving Volunteers

Moving volunteers are always needed to help pick up and deliver donations to the Rosehedge/Multifaith Works Housing Program houses! In addition, clients in all of our programs often need assistance moving into and out of their housing. We maintain a list of both volunteers with truck or vans and people with muscles who are on call.

Office and Special Event Volunteers

Rosehedge/Multifaith Works needs office volunteers to help with photocopying, bulk mailing and other office support. At our newsletter mailing parties, volunteers enjoy food and each others' company while they work. We also need special event volunteers to staff booths and help at events. In addition, we invite volunteer consultants in areas such as Board of Directors development, effective communication training, computers, and graphic design.

Fundraising and Marketing Volunteers

Money is the lifeblood of every non-profit organization, and Rosehedge/Multifaith Works is no exception! Volunteers who join our Fundraising/Marketing Committee will help implement an annual plan which supports everything Rosehedge/Multifaith Works does. People with effective oral and written communications skills are essential to the success of this vital endeavor.

For more information, please contact 206.324.1520 x 229 or cherie@rosehedge.org. We would love to hear from you!
