Individual Volunteers
N Street Village could not operate without our dedicated volunteers. Volunteers help us continue to provide the best quality of care to the homeless and very low-income women in our community. It is our hope that volunteering with N Street Village provides you an opportunity, not only for service, but also to expand your understanding of the complexity of homelessness; an issue that affects us all.
