Spring 2023 Harvard Square Homeless Shelter Individual Volunteer Application
Spring shifts will begin with breakfast on Monday, January 23rd and end with breakfast on Saturday, April 15. You are responsible for filling your shift every week during this time -- you must be present or find a substitute to take your place (anyone can sub for you, even if they have never worked at the shelter). The shelter's vitality and efficiency rely on your unwavering dedication! You will not be responsible for your shift during Spring Break (breakfast shift 3/11 - overnight shift 3/19).

Here is a greater description of shifts and volunteer responsibilities: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XsNKuFgPMQIAzqHDcjDVu3OdKVIcp0ppEvDDuiRarWc/edit?usp=sharing
