Description:

Connections for the Homeless serves and catalyzes our community to end homelessness, one person at a time. Driven by our core values, we prevent homelessness through financial assistance to households facing eviction, provide emergency shelter for people in crisis, secure permanent housing for individuals and families, and organize our community through advocacy efforts.

Connections was founded almost 40 years ago by rebellious religious leaders and community volunteers committed to providing support, with dignity and compassion, to individuals and families who were homeless. This same commitment is the heart of who we are today. We serve people of all ages who are homeless and those who are on verge of losing their home. And, the program that launched our founding in 1984, Hilda’s Place, has grown to provide shelter to the homeless 365 days a year, now at the Margarita Inn.

No matter your schedule. No matter your age. We have a place for you to help.

Volunteers under the age of 12 must have an adult volunteer with them.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Connections for the Homeless! We offer both on-site and remote opportunities, which can be performed individually or as a group.

Who we are

We are a team of change-makers who believe that every helping hand can raise a child and create a better future for them.

We started extending help to needy children and youth who were eager to study and work for a better life. This moment intensified when we found that there were many such underprivileged children who needed help with food, shelter and education. Our team expanded and we spread out in different regions to make sure we cover all possible areas and help as many children as possible.

We now run shelter homes, schools and a reasonable mess that helps such needy young people. We also have our helpline offices spread throughout the country so one can approach us anytime they need help.

Our approach

Our Mission
Our mission is to make sure all young people and children get all the support they need, when they need it, no matter what it is.

Whether it is a reassuring conversation, financial help, education, professional training, or simply the assurance that they are not alone, we will make sure that everyone gets support that meets them where they’re at as quickly as possible.

Our Vision
We want to build a world where no child or youth feels alone and gets every possible help they need as soon as possible.
Our entire team wants to see a world where every youngster struggling in any way feels able to reach out and has people who’ll help them with education, jobs, and more. We want to spread out in every region so we’ll be reachable to all.
