The Horizon House Volunteer Program has been dedicated to educating and engaging individuals to become life-long community advocates for the homeless. We believe that ending homelessness is a community effort. That is why we strive to provide a holistic approach to volunteerism that includes both service and learning. Typical volunteer activities in the past have included:

• Kitchen Volunteer:
  Help with organizing and serving of food to the neighbors. Also cleaning up in the kitchen.
• Computer Lab Volunteer:
  Interact with the neighbors by answering their questions as they work on the computers searching for jobs, applying for jobs, writing resumes, etc…
• Donation Center Volunteer:
  Sort clothing and toiletry donations
• Dayroom/Front Desk Volunteer:
  Assisting the Horizon House staff with the daily needs of the neighbors, cleaning tables, sweeping, sorting mail, answering questions, retrieving needed items
• Clerical:
  Filing paperwork, addressing envelopes, entering data on computer, etc..

(Volunteer shifts last for usually 2 hours minimum. Volunteers can work longer shifts if desired.)

 

Volunteer Information Sessions take place at Horizon House on:

• The first Monday of each month, 12 -1 pm.

The session will include basic information about Horizon House services, a tour, information about ways to volunteer, and the opportunity to sign up to volunteer.

If you are unable to attend a regularly scheduled orientation, contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Brenda Reiff, to inquire about the possibility of scheduling another time.

We are located at 1033 E. Washington Street, Indianapolis.
