Individual Volunteering
Individual Volunteering
We’re always grateful for individual volunteers who help make Family House a safe, comfortable, and caring place for families.
We welcome individuals of all ages, including high school students and Service Learning students from USF, City College, and other Bay Area schools. Volunteers are asked to commit to at least three months of regular shifts in the house or office. Opportunities include helping with meals, providing office support, or sharing a special talent — like therapy dog visits, entertainment, yoga, massage therapy, and more.
