Guest Advocate - Hospitality House
The mission of Hospitality House is to bring homeless people in Nevada County into a circle of community caring that offers shelter, sustenance, medical care, advocacy, opportunity, dignity, and hope as we assist them in transitioning from homelessness to housing.
Volunteering as a Guest Advocate is a wonderful way to help us meet the needs of those transitioning from homelessness to housing. Guest Advocates greet and engage our guests in conversation, building positive relationships that support the work of our shelter staff. While it is important that guests follow the rules of the shelter, the Guest Advocate position is more focused on socializing than regulating. It is important Guest Advocates maintain an upbeat, encouraging, and compassionate attitude.
