Laundry & Shower Van Volunteer

Hamilton

Volunteers have one of the most important jobs at Orange Sky – to connect with our friends (people experiencing homelessness), through genuine and non-judgemental conversation.

Join us in our mission to Positively Connect Communities. We don't have all the answers to homelessness, but what we can provide is free clean laundry, a warm shower and genuine conversation to those doing it tough.

As an Orange Sky (OS) volunteer, you will help ensure the van greets our friends with an awesome group of volunteers to provide safe and reliable free laundry and shower service operations, assist in driving the van to shift (non-mandatory) and engage in genuine and positive conversations with friends, service providers and other volunteers.
