Volunteer Opportunities

VOLUNTEERS are an integral part of the Multifaith Works community. However you feel called to serve, there's a place for you! 

 Volunteer Training sessions are held throughout the year.

Shanti
Seattle Shanti's unique network of volunteers offers one-to-one emotional support to people living with HIV/AIDS or other life-threatening illnesses, their loved ones, or those grieving a loss. By providing active, non-judgmental listening and a comforting, sustaining relationship, Shanti volunteers help empower clients to identify and meet their own needs. Please contact us at 206.324.1520 x3 or shanti@multifaith.org for more information. 

AIDS Care Teams
Multifaith Works AIDS CareTeams consist of seven to fifteen volunteers from one or more congregations who join together to support "CarePartner(s);" one person or household living with AIDS. CareTeams offer people of all faiths a way to live their faith teachings. CareTeam activities may include such things as: cooking and sharing a meal, social outings, offering friendship and emotional support, birthday parties, light housekeeping, transportation or phone calls. Please contact the AIDS CareTeam program at 206.324.1520 x226 or careteams@multifaith.org for more information. 

Multifaith Housing Program Volunteer Group Projects
Volunteer service group projects are a fun and rewarding way to bring together volunteers for a one-time day of service with Multifaith Works. Projects take place in Multifaith Housing Program Houses,  that consists of five homes throughout Seattle for people who are living with AIDS. We also operate one home, Ariel MS House, for people living with multiple sclerosis. Projects may include: light cleaning, gardening, general maintenance, cookie baking, and offering friendship and non-judgmental emotional support. For further information, please contact Multifaith Works at 206.324.1520 x236 or brian@multifaith.org.

Moving Volunteers
Moving volunteers are always needed to help pick up and deliver donations to the Multifaith Works Housing Program houses! In addition, clients in all of our programs often need assistance moving into and out of their housing. We maintain a list of both volunteers with truck or vans and people with muscles who are on call.

Office and Special Event Volunteers
Multifaith Works needs office volunteers to help with photocopying, bulk mailing and other office support. At our newsletter mailing parties, volunteers enjoy food and each others' company while they work. We also need special event volunteers to staff booths and help at events. In addition, we invite volunteer consultants in areas such as Board of Directors development, effective communication training, computers, and graphic design.

Fundraising and Marketing Volunteers
Money is the lifeblood of every non-profit organization, and Multifaith Works is no exception! Volunteers who join our Fundraising/Marketing Committee will help implement an annual plan which supports everything Multifaith Works does. People with effective oral and written communications skills are essential to the success of this vital endeavor.

For more information, please contact Brian Halcomb, Volunteer Program Manager at 206.324.1520 x236 or brian@multifaith.org. We would love to hear from you!
