Volunteer


Homelessness and poverty seem so overwhelming—what can just one person do in the face of such a huge issue?

Our volunteers will tell you that working with BOSS ensures that the time you can give, no matter how much or how little, really can make a difference. Our volunteers don’t tackle the whole issue of homelessness—they offer direct support to individual people, families, and children who need us.

More than 300 volunteers each year contribute their time to BOSS. Because of their support BOSS is better able to serve the 3,500 people each year who need our help. Come and join us!

Anyone can volunteer and whatever time you can give , we can make use of it. You can see our current volunteering opportunities here, or contact Janny Castillo (Volunteer Manager), (510) 649-1930, janny@self-sufficiency.org.

And if you can’t volunteer right now, check out our Wishlist page and see if you can help us with any of the items we need.
