YWCA Shelter Painting Project (age 18+) *MLK Weekend 2019*
Join us in honoring the legacy of Dr. King through meaningful service to our community: "Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve."
-- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
YWCA Clark County mission is to eliminate racism, empower women and promote peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.
SafeChoice has a policy to not publish the shelter address on websites or in print materials. As such we request that the address is emailed directly to any volunteer associated with the project. Please email Alix directly for the address once you have registered.
Volunteers will help beautify the SafeChoice shelter's staff room. Staff and volunteers use this space to take a break while on shift and SafeChoice would love to make sure the room is calm and gives staff the opportunity to take some peaceful moments while on break. Staff provide direct service advocacy in a 24-hour shelter setting and having a staff area is really important in creating balance in their roles.
Volunteers will primarily paint and may do other tasks, time permitting, including a light cleaning and repositioning furniture after the painting is completed. We may finish a little bit early, we may incorporate other volunteer activites; we ask that you please be flexible!
Please wear painting clothes! If you have a paint roller and fresh roller sponge, bringing those would be very helpful.
