General volunteering can involve a range of responsibilities, including running and organizing our Clothing Closet where members can get one full outfit a day, monitoring our two showers and ensuring that everyone who has signed up for showers is able to get a clean towel and hygiene products before entering, helping to set up and serve lunch and / or dinner, and providing front desk support.

Host Home Program

Become a short-term host by offering a room or private space in your home for a young person looking for longer-term housing. This incredible incentivized program will help keep young people safe and set them up for lasting success.

This program offers an opportunity for mentors from the community to connect with youth to build a trusting relationship and work towards goals identified by the youth. The program is designed to encourage a meaningful, supportive connection and requires a 3 to 6 month commitment.

Engage with street-based youth out in the community alongside one of our Outreach and Engagement Case Managers, providing access to survival resources and SPY's onsite programs. Volunteer opportunities are available on Mondays 2-4 pm, Thursdays and Fridays 11 am – 12 : 30 pm.

How You Help

Safe Place for Youth's incredible volunteers are vital partners in our mission to end youth homelessness. Their dedication and commitment to upholding our therapeutic approach in serving youth are woven into every aspect of our programs.

About Us

To inspire change in a young person's life, we at Safe Place for Youth engage, build trust, and provide care and support to youth experiencing homelessness, so that the youth, not their situations, define their lives. Our program prioritizes low barriers for entry, harm-reduction, a trauma-informed approach, and the provision of a safe, supportive environment. Basic human needs are addressed through a "safe haven" atmosphere of hope and concern. SPY provides three core areas of service provision : Street Outreach, Drop-in Center, and Case Management.
