How You Can Help Those In Need

The City Mission offers many different opportunities to make a difference in the lives of the people we serve. Here is just a brief list of opportunities:

8 Ways to Help the Homeless - summary of some of the things that can help meet practical needs and bring hope to the homeless.

Professional services - donating your services, providing a seminar, training staff members, doing a life skill session or speaking to those in our residential program or students in Pathways.

Special need for doctors and nurses to volunteer for a few hours a month providing wellness checks at Laura's

Home.

Employment opportunites for our residents - When our residents in Crossroads or Laura's Home reach phase 3 of their program, they are in full job search mode. If you know of job openings or would be willing to consider interviewing qualified candidates, please contact Micha

Internship opportunities for our students - Senior high students in our Pathways can earn up to $10,000 in scholarships for college or job training. We are looking for corporations and organizations who would be willing to provide summer internships to help them gain job experience and continue to encourage them to make good choices in their lives for a better future.

Volunteering - So much is accomplished at The City Mission by volunteers. It could be a one-time service project, a regular staff volunteer position, or an on-going mentoring relationship with a student or an adult resident. Click on the Volunteer tab at the top of any of our webpages for details.
