About this position:

You hold the bridge between the housed and the unhoused, which means you curate space for people to grow in friendship in person, and to grow in understanding of the lives of our unhoused friends. You also curate gatherings and experiences to introduce and cultivate volunteers’ understanding of the lives of our unhoused brothers and sisters. You are not simply “planning events” but rather fostering ways in which the two communities can interact on equal footing, with a hope towards creating forged families between the housed and unhoused. We believe that the gifts of our unhoused friends are as rich and diverse as those who are housed, and we come to each other’s communities–the streets or someone’s home–with open handedness, ready to receive, one from the other. You have a keen eye for ways of being with those who are unhoused that might belittle or assume things about them, and you help us and our volunteers recognize and move away from contexts that do not dignify. You gently open space for volunteers to share stereotypes and create safe space after their time on the streets for them to debrief and better understand those with whom they interacted. You are an excellent listener and see your work with the housed as ministry. You are willing to ask the question, “How is the Holy Spirit at work in their life today?” and you hope to join God in his work with our volunteers, as much as with our unhoused friends. You offer yourself as a bridge between groups and thoughtfully and reliably execute on the gatherings and other events you create.
