VOLUNTEERS

Volunteer at Casa de Belen and have a positive impact on the lives of the 75-100 teens who are homeless in Roseburg.

Play an important role in the success of Casa de Belen. Every moment a volunteer spends at Casa de Belen makes a difference in a young person's life. Volunteers serve as adult role models to the youth and join staff in developing safe, trusting adult relationships, demonstrating they believe in these youth and have faith in their ability to succeed.

Each volunteer is also a liaison to the community, explaining the reasons youth are living on the streets, and what our programs need to continue to be successful in meeting their needs and helping them exit street life.
