Become an ESP Volunteer!
Become an ESP Volunteer by spending an overnight with our "houseless" neighbors! You'll be with other volunteers, make some friends and learn something more about our community. Mandatory training is provided so that our volunteers are current on best practices with which to address the "face of homelessness" in our local culture. We have found that when we are all "on the same page", the program operates smoothly and consistently at each location, making transitions much easier for our guests and volunteers.
