Like people?  Have a few spare hours a week?  
Volunteers are critically important to the work at Tedford Housing.

Volunteer roles at Tedford range form weekly shifts to once a year for special occasions.  We rely on volunteers to prepare, deliver, and serve meals for guests, host special occasion meals for families, help out with maintenance, pick up or deliver donations, assist at fundraising functions, perform office and administrative tasks, or just listen to a new friend tell you about their day.  All of these volunteer activities support the mission and image of Tedford Housing in our community.

Who Can Volunteer?

• Individuals over age 18 may volunteer.  Minors may volunteer with adult supervision.
• Former guests may volunteer, as long as they have not stayed at the shelter for at least 6 months.
• Sex offenders are prohibited from volunteering.

Volunteer candidates must:

• Complete a volunteer application
• Provide references
• Be interviewed by our Volunteer Coordinator
• Complete volunteer training and orientation
