Your time is valuable! Volunteers are always welcomed and appreciated.
Whether you live in Humboldt County or across the globe, there is always something you can do to help give shelter.
As of now, we are in need of volunteers interested in the following work:
- Shelter design evolution, prototyping and testing
- Configured shelter systems definition, e.g. Latrines, schoolrooms, clinics of different service foci, computer and communications center…
- Low-cost hard-shell U-Domes for domestic homeless shelter, integrated with managed transitional programs (including required and complementary services for the path towards permanent housing)
- Modeling a continuum of shelter provision after disaster, from emergency relief through transitional shelter through to permanent shelter
- Shelter training for field workers and team leaders
If you or your group are interested in volunteering at World Shelters, the current volunteer schedule is as follows:
Friday, April 25th - 11-6 ( you are welcome to choose a time frame during these hours)
Saturday, May 3rd - 10-2
Please be sure to contact Heather, the Executive Assistant at least 3 days in advance of the particular volunteer day you’re interested in.
If you’re looking for hands-on, involved, team service work, we offer a training program on Settlement Planning and Shelter Construction. The next training is scheduled for May 2008.
