How 2 Volunteer 2 work in a hostel or refuge??

Question

After much thinking i have decided to go into supported housing which includes drop in centres, refuges and shelters. Has anybody got any information on how to volunteer for experience purposes within these types of organisations within East or West London?

Also information of TRAINING specifically within this category would be ideal.

I want to work with people whom i can make a real difference to. This includes people who are homeless or have been through a great deal in their lives. Have experiences drugs and substance abuse, domestic violence or any other issues.

Please write back if you have information on volunteering opportunities within this field or if you know of any organisations, preferable within Waltham Forest that can help me find a placement or can place me into training.

PLEASE HELP!!

Answer 1

call the hostels you want to volunteer at. go on volunteermatch.org to find ways to volunteer. join the girl scouts. you can be a girl scout at ANY age and you'll make a LOT of connections.
