Harvard Square Homeless Shelter

Description

Harvard Square Homeless Shelter (HSHS) serves local adults experiencing homelessness. They welcome individuals and small groups to volunteer alongside regular Harvard student crews during dinner, evening, overnight, or breakfast shifts in their Winter or Summer Shelter programs. Weekly volunteers are preferred but occasionally, periodic or one-time substitutes can assist, especially during school holidays. No prior experience is needed. 


Holiday Need: during the Harvard University holiday break, community volunteers are especially needed.


Please fill out a volunteer Application to sign up!
