This is perfect for morning person who wants to help others. If you’re passionate about helping people get to where they want to be in life, we want to hear from you.

• No experience is required, but you must feel strongly about helping people sleeping rough to escape the streets and rebuild their lives
• This role will benefit a morning person
• We ask that volunteers undergo some training (provided by Porchlight)
