We’re so excited you’re interested in volunteering at Vision House!

We have volunteer opportunities at both our Renton and Shoreline locations, and you can help in a variety of ways. Please note that most volunteer opportunities take place during regular business hours or in the early evening.

Volunteer opportunities include:

  • Providing childcare while families attend Life Skills classes or community meetings
  • Tutoring and mentoring students
  • Teaching a Life Skills class (such as parenting, cooking, and more)
  • Assisting and supporting our maintenance team
  • Supporting Vision House information tables at events
  • Helping with office projects (mailings, pre-event preparation, data entry)
  • Handwriting thank you envelopes for donor appreciation

Getting started:

The first step to becoming a volunteer is attending a New Volunteer Orientation. Orientations are held on the third Thursday of every month at the following locations and times:

  • Shoreline Location at 1:00pm
  • Renton Location at 1:30pm

One-on-one orientations can also be arranged in both Renton and Shoreline. You can sign up for an orientation through "Better Impact" or reach out to Julie in Shoreline, juliew@visionhouse.org or Ray in Renton, rayc@visionhouse.org.

We look forward to partnering with you as we support families who are experiencing homelessness.

Volunteer Age Requirements:

To ensure a safe and supportive environment for everyone, Vision House has the following age guidelines for volunteering:

Ages 18 and older:

 

 Volunteers are welcome to serve in any volunteer role. Additional training is required for positions that involve direct interaction with Vision House residents.
Ages 16-17:   Volunteers are welcome to serve in roles that do not involve contact with Vision House residents. Unfortunately, minors are not permitted to serve directly with families.
Ages 12-15:   Parental supervision is required. This typically applies when minors need additional guidance or support from an adult while volunteering.
Under Age 12:   Parents must volunteer alongside their children. These opportunities are ideal for families who wish to serve together.

 

*Unfortunately we are unable to accommodate those who are fulfilling court-ordered community service hours because of the vulnerable population we serve.
