Volunteer Groups

Project Homeless Connect invites your company to volunteer and participate in our Community Day of Service. Each event is made possible through the support of more than 700 volunteers and sponsorships. We are excited to work with you!

By volunteering as a group, you are able to spend time together outside of the office, work together as a team, and make a real impact in the community where you live and work! Every volunteer shift begins with a Rally and  Training so that we start the experience excited and well-equipped to provide care with dignity.

Project Homeless Connect hosts outreach walks through the Tenderloin to raise awareness about homeless services, distribute information about our programs, and engage with our neighbors experiencing homelessness. This is a great opportunity to connect directly with the individuals most in need of our services. Come and help us hand out socks and granola bars while passing along vital information about the services we offer!

At a Community Day of Service, an individual experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless is able to receive assistance from more than 100 providers under the same roof in a “one stop shop” model. Many of the services provided could not otherwise be accessed by a person experiencing homelessness.

Project Homeless Connect hosts approximately three large-scale events annually. For a list of upcoming event dates, please visit our calendar. All volunteer shifts are posted on the Volunteer Portal six weeks prior to the event. If you do not see any volunteer shifts after creating a volunteer account on the portal, please check back periodically, or sign up to receive emails from PHC—we will let you know when volunteer registration opens. Please view our general training video for an onsite view of volunteering with PHC and tips for the day!

Each event has more than 20 volunteer areas, many made possible through the support of our Sponsors. While we guarantee your preferred shift, we depend upon everyone’s flexibility the day of to make the day as impactful as possible, and may need to disperse  your group among different areas. If you would to ensure that you all stay together, consider Sponsoring the Area!

It was a pleasure, and our team very much enjoyed the opportunity. PHC was well-organized and [the event] was a great introduction to the program.

Everyone loved their experience! You guys really provide an incredible service to the community.

Our team really enjoyed the afternoon volunteering with PHC. It was extremely humbling, and just incredible to see the impact the event has on the community. Everyone was truly blown away by the variety of services offered and the organization and attention to detail it must take to pull off an event like this. We would LOVE to volunteer again.
