Volunteer Training and Homelessness 101
This year, we are seeking to provide additional training and context to volunteers participating in the point-in-time count so we can ensure all those administering the survey are familiar with both the procedure required and with the basics of interacting with some of our most vulnerable neighbors on the street in a manner that is respectful and safe. These training sessions are required if you have selected any volunteer shift marked with an asterisk* above as those shifts will involve direct work with our neighbors experiencing homelessness in New Orleans and Jefferson Parish.
