Opportunity Details
Volunteer Activity Hosts Needed in Chelsea! Share Your Hobby or Passion!
BRC is a leading housing provider and services to thousands of New York City's individuals in need by providing outreach to homeless people living in public spaces, drug treatment, mental health care, comprehensive medical services, vocational services, and supportive communities in which to live. BRC succeeds by building trust with the people we serve; listening, acting, and providing temporary and permanent housing.
Do you enjoy arts & crafts? Is music your jam? Perhaps creative writing or poetry slams are more your thing? Game nights are always fun! Or is yoga more your style? Do meditation and deep breathing bring you inner peace? If any of these activities (or others you can think of) bring you a little joy, calm or relaxation, why not share your interests with our clients at the BRC CDCC? Prior to the pandemic, volunteers successfully hosted weekly groups that our clients loved. And now that things are back to normal, we are actively looking to bring more fun activities for them to enjoy. These would take place at our Chelsea location at 131 West 25th Street on a weekday afternoon, or even in the early evening at 6, 6:30, or 7 pm.
To foster a sense of community, we provide engaging, social, and fun activities beyond the scope of our clinical efforts, and we look to our volunteers to lead the charge. Why not join the team, volunteer your time, and have fun along the way!?
