Volunteer Opportunity My First Home Shopping Days with Just in Time for Foster Youth
Date: Saturday, July 11 Time: 8:30 AM
Location: Details to be provided
Just in Time for Foster Youth invites you to join us for our My First Home Group Shopping Day, from 8:30 AM-2 PM. Together, we will make a lasting impact on 6 transition-age foster youth, as they make their first apartment into their first home. You will have the opportunity not just to support as a volunteer, also creating a community to celebrate a milestone in their life. We are giving them a sense of choice while selecting their items and ownership of items they are bringing back home.
Just in Time’s founding service, My First Home, offers a variety of volunteer opportunities to fit your level of skill and comfortability. Volunteers work in teams to support youth at the JIT Distribution Center as they “shop”, pack moving trucks and transport items. If interested, please complete this form, and we do just ask that you attend a short MFH Volunteer Orientation.
Volunteer Roles & spots available per shopping day:
Movers: Once items are selected by participant, movers take the items from the shelves and distribution center floor to a designated area outside. Movers help load furniture/household items into moving vehicles, transport items to the youth’s home, and help them unload and assemble furniture – depending on the desires of the youth. (12-18 spots) Drivers: Drivers help transport items using their own pick-up truck, van, SUV or larger vehicle (8-10 spots) Shoppers: Walk alongside participants, providing one-on-one support, while they select items on their wish list and ensure all items are marked for “movers.” The shopper will also take notes to document items selected by participant for administrative record keeping. (6 spots)
