Group 2
Group members: Zlatan, Michael, Ernesto, Timothy
The shelters are open from October 1st until April 30th. There are five shifts that we could go and do volunteer work at so it shouldn’t be a problem with date or time management. The first shift is the setup shift which starts at 6am. This shift you ready sleeping area (set up pads, linens, receive food donations), se up facility, prepare serving area and registration desk, monitor parking lot(s), and set up dining area. The shift after that is the first shift which starts from 6:30 till 11pm. Here you would provide food as assigned and prepared by volunteers, register guests, assist with serving dinner, make guests feel welcome, monitor all areas and secure doors at 9:00pm (trips to car and smoking breaks must be accompanied by male volunteer). The second shift starts from 11pm till 3am. Here you maintain intake desk, admit approved late arrivals, prepare lunches (site specific), and monitor all site areas hourly. The third shift starts from 3 till 7am. Here you would do the same things as in second shift but you would awaken guests and prepare breakfast. The fourth shift is the clean-up which starts 6 till 7am.Journey from Pads to Hope assists women, men, and families in northwest suburban Cook County. They assist people who have become or are at risk of becoming homeless. They also provide homeless people with clothing and food closets. Some sites also provide case management and mental health treatment.Each of us will go to different locations so we all can get different experience and picture of volunteering.
My group choose to work at Journey from PADS to Hope because it deals with everything that homelessness is. It deals with the front desk which you just register the clients and front desk coordinators which you bring in clients, retriever files, answer phones. Another is kitchen coordinators which you heat and serve/plan meals. Third, clothing closet coordinators which consists of sorting/organizing and you shelve clothing. Fourth, food pantry coordinators. Here you stock and organize shelves and assure levels. Fifth, volunteer coordinators and here you coordinate schedules/tasks and train volunteers. Lastly, community ambassadors and here you present Journeys at fairs, community events, etc. In this program we will be taking care of families that are homeless and in poverty.
