Volunteering
There are different ways you can be involved with HOWSS as a volunteer, whether you can help out once, occasionally, or on a regular basis.
We need volunteers to help:
- give people information about support and services over the phone, in the office, at the Hub, or at their home (training is provided)
- provide support at the Hub (training is provided)
- talk to community groups about housing options (training is provided)
- with stalls at events such as Seniors Week
- with office tasks such as scanning, filing, cleaning, data entry, mail outs.
If you are interested in volunteering with HOWSS, please complete the volunteer form and tell us how you would like to help.
We especially encourage people with lived experience of housing distress and homelessness, First Nations people, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and people with disabilities to work and volunteer with us.
