Organization Description

To provide a safe, supportive environment and the resources necessary for homeless families with children to remain together while empowering them to become independent and self-sufficient.

Program Information

Thomas House Family Shelter has ongoing opportunities available for volunteers to serve in numerous roles in our Youth Development Program. Interns are vital to the success of our programs - including one-on-one and group tutoring in general subjects for youth in pre-school, elementary, junior, and high school. Additionally, Interns are needed to attend onsite events as well as occasional offsite field trips. Interns can also inquire about service hours for school requirements, as well as internships for degree programs. Thomas House follows COVID-19 guides to ensure the safety of our volunteers, staff, and the families we work with.
