Horizons for Homeless Children
Horizons for Homeless Children is seeking volunteers for their Playspace Program. Playspaces are trauma-informed spaces created and operated by Horizons within family shelters. They are filled with books, toys, arts and crafts materials, and developmentally appropriate activities that give children a safe place to play, use their imagination, build relationships, and simply be kids. Our Playspaces are made possible by dedicated volunteers, called PALs, which stands for Playspace Activity Leaders. PALs visit once a week to play with children, support positive routines, and create meaningful connections during a time of transition for families. Volunteers are asked to complete a 2hr shift weekly and commit to volunteering for a 6 month period.
All volunteers must be at least 18 years old and consent to an Early Education and Care Background Check and Fingerprinting. Volunteer shifts typically occur Monday through Thursday in the evenings.
Horizons for Homeless Children is the Commonwealth’s leading organization devoted exclusively to serving homeless children. They focus on helping young children mitigate the trauma and stress associated with homelessness.
