The Harvard Square Homeless Shelter and Youth2Youth Harvard Square are
looking for substitute volunteers *for all our shifts throughout Spring
Break*. We have a running spreadsheet
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xbHTa7HUpu4CKgP24RamZB_rZqhEyADzGW9NmpNTM7Q/edit?usp=sharing>
where all are free to sign up. Experienced staff members will be on every
shift to help out with any questions, but you can find more information
about serving in the HSHS volunteer handbook <http://tiny.cc/HSHSHandbook> or
the Y2Y Volunteer Handbook

*Shift details:*
- *Breakfast Shift* [6:45-9:00 am] [7:30 — 10:00 am on Saturday]:
Volunteers help prepare breakfast, help guests be ready to leave the
Shelter by 8:00AM, and then clean up the Shelter.
- *Dinner Shift* [6:45-9:15 pm]: Volunteers prepare and serve dinner to
the guests, clean up afterward, and then help the guests with anything they
might need.
- *Evening Shift *[9:00-11:15 pm]: Volunteers start preparing plates of
food for homeless non-guests who come to the Shelter for a hot meal and
help the guests get settled in for the night.
- *Overnight Shift* [11:00 pm-9:00 am] [11:00 pm-9:30 am on Saturday]:
Many of us agree this is the most rewarding shift at the shelter. Four
volunteers and two supervisors sleep in shifts so that someone is always
awake to answer guests' questions and help them with whatever they might
need. In the morning, overnight volunteers stay to help prepare breakfast
and clean up the shelter.
HSHS also sends out last-minute substitute requests every so often - if
you'd want to be added to our substitute volunteer list please fill out this

mission!
