Do you love to clean and organize? Then being a Cleaning Wizard is right up your alley!
We currently have an URGENT need for help. We have 2 rooms that need to be cleaned and organized.
Once these rooms are cleaned and organized, we will be able to offer the rooms to clients on our waitlist.
WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING: As part of a team, you will be preparing and cleaning vacant rooms for our next clients in our confidential Safe House located in Auburn, CA.
All training and cleaning supplies will be provided by staff.
Date: Tuesday, March 31st
Time: 2pm-5pm
Location: Safe House, Auburn, CA (address will be provided)
ABOUT OUR SAFE HOUSE: We provide 90-day emergency confidential shelter when necessary for survivors and their children who are in immediate danger. Our shelter is pet inclusive. A shelter stay provides an opportunity for survivors to be safe, to access the resources they and their children need, and to draw up a plan for their future.
THE PROCESS: When a client exits the Safe House, their room needs to be cleaned and prettied up for the next client/s. This is not "glamourous" work but so needed for the safety and protection of our clients and staff. It also helps new clients feel supported and welcomed. Our hard-working Safe House staff could really use some help with room clean-ups. It is a juggling act and challenge to answer the crisis line, attend to and provide support to safe house clients, intake new clients and clean rooms as they become available.

SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE:
- Compassion and understanding for people in crisis.
- Understand how our clients and their children and pets can benefit from having a safe place to live as they are escaping a violent environment.
- Attention to detail, a love cleaning and making spaces welcoming.
YOUR VOLUNTEER IMPACT: For every hour you volunteer as a Cleaning Wizard, we receive $24/per hour in grant funding match. This is very significant and helps us in meeting our grant requirements. Your time also helps our hard-working Safe House staff advocates tremendously.
