Volunteer Openings!

Hey folks, here are the open volunteer positions we have right now. Please let me know if you're interested in any of these!

Transitional Housing Open House Help!
What: New Beginnings will be hosting a small open house gathering for our newly remodeled Transitional Housing Program. We need 1-2 volunteers to help with greeting and checking in guests, replenishing food and drinks and clean-up duty.
When: January 25th from 6-8pm
Where: Our confidential Transitional Housing location.

Music/Dance/Acting/Art or Other Talent Instructor

What: We need one volunteer to teach a music/dance or any other fun talent to the kids at our Transitional Housing Program and emergency shelter. In the past, we’ve had a Karate instructor and a dance teacher host fun classes for the kids. It’s a great way for the kids to do something exciting and new!
When: Once a week on weekdays in the late afternoon/evening.
Where: At a TBD New Beginnings location.

Financial Literacy Expert/Credit Counselor
What: Many of the women at our Transitional Housing Program are going through a great deal of financial issues as a result of their abusive partners. We need one skilled volunteer to help sort out some of these issues with our women and to answer questions as they come up. Financial planning and troubleshooting with our women is more so dealing with critical debt and credit issues rather than saving for a house, for example.
When: Once every few months, Thursday afternoon/evening for 1-2 hours.
Where: Our confidential Transitional Housing location.

Healthy Eating/Nutrition Expert
What: We need one nutrition savvy volunteer to teach healthy eating and cooking skills to the women/mothers at Transitional Housing. Most of the women at THP are low-income and are supported through food stamps and/or food banks but it’s still important to learn about nutrition! This is a great way to teach people that even on a budget, you can eat right!
When: One time. On a Thursday afternoon/evening for 1-2 hours.
Where: Our confidential Transitional Housing location.

Landscaping Volunteer
What: We need one volunteer to help keep our Transitional Housing greenery area looking nice!
When: Based on your availability. Ideally once or twice a month for a few hours each shift.
Where: Our confidential Transitional Housing location.
New Beginnings at South Seattle Community College’s Women’s Health Fair!
What: We’ll be hosting an information booth at the Women’s Health Fair at SSCC. Help us be a positive and informative presence by engaging with the public!
When: January 25th from 11am-3pm.
Where: South Seattle Community College, Jerry Brockey Student Center
