Streetside Showers

Volunteer Descriptions and Responsibilities

Minimum age to volunteer on-site is 14 years old. For volunteers under 14, off-site projects are a great option! Visit the bottom of our volunteer page to see what off-site opportunities we offer.

Please be sure to bring water for yourself as your volunteer experience will be outside and we want to make sure all of our volunteers, guests and staff members stay healthy and hydrated.

1) Shower Valet

You will be greeting our guests, cleaning the showers, and distributing hygiene kits.

Greet and welcome our guests warmly. Always ask their name, and introduce yourself with a smile. Take time to connect with each and every guest; your authentic and compassionate attention represents the unexpected level of care that helps restore their dignity.

Help tidy up. During your shift, you’ll be keeping our showers cleaned and stocked with hygiene kits and towels for our guests. We will provide you with gloves during the sanitation process, as we work hard to ensure hygiene and safety for all.

2) Barber/Hairstylist

You will be providing haircuts to the homeless individuals who come to Streetside Showers stops. You will be working with both men and women of all ages. We do request that anyone who signs up in this role is a licensed barber/hairstylist. Each volunteer barber/hairstylist will need to supply their own equipment and tools for providing haircuts. Thank you!
