Teen Feed Ally Application- 2021
Ally volunteers are responsible volunteers aged 15 - 18 who help distribute basic needs and hot meals at Teen
Feed’s dinner program. Allies are important members of our direct service team and must commit to one
evening shift per week for one year. Training provided on intro to youth homelessnes and anti - oppression.

Through service at Teen Feed, we hope to reinforce values of equity, fairness, and justice to create a compassionate and inclusive community, challenge stereotypes, and raise awareness about youth homelessness. Teen Feed’s guests represent diversity in experience, background, age, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, etc. Teen Feed aims to create a volunteer corps reflective of the diversity of our youth -  those who represent diverse identities and/or have lived experience with homelessness/housing insecurity are highly encouraged to apply.

Since COVID, Teen Feed has implemented a number of safety and sanitation protocols. Once you submit this application, you will be sent follow up information including a COVID safety tool kit. Do you have any initial safety questions?
Teen Feed advocate and ally teams are a very passionate and select groups, and volunteers are highly dependent on each other for support, with ultra-reliable attendance. Advocates and Allies expect their team members to fully dedicate to their shifts during their tenure. Likewise, our youth get to know and depend on your attendance. Teen Feed therefore requires a six month commitment to the Ally position.  Can you make this commitment?
