Volunteer Program FAQs
What is the culture at CHR?
CHR works towards cultivating a safer space, particularly for drug users, sex workers, felons, and those who are experiencing homelessness. Judgement/stigma towards those with these experiences will not be tolerated. We consider these experiences “lived expertise” and they are valued in our space.

You will not be expected to lift more than 10 lbs while volunteering. Assistance with heavy lifting will be available on site as needed.
