Ally Volunteers are responsible individuals ages 15 - 17 years who provide consistency, peer modeling, and positive connections to homeless youth guests during the Teen Feed meal. Allies help with program set-up, guest sign in, and distribution of basic needs. They also provide backup kitchen support for nightly meal teams when needed. Allies serve at University District Meal Site locations which rotate throughout the week.
Requirements: Allies commit to a weekly volunteer shift for one year (don't be concerned about the length, we will work with you!). Ally volunteers must complete:
-in-person volunteer orientation
-Ally volunteer application (signed by both youth + guardian)
-remote training
-three shadow shifts with an experienced volunteer
