We Think Evelyn Can
Support Evelyn's 2010 Campaign while helping homeless youth
Goal
My goal is to devote 5 hours a week to ATC and different non-profits around San Francisco. I will do this for 10 weeks (or maybe even longer!)
Over the last year and a half since I have lived in San Francisco, I have volunteered for a variety of community service projects, typically once or twice a month. These projects have ranged from sorting cans and boxes of food for the SF Food Bank, landscaping gardens by the 16th Ave Tiled Stairs, feeding the homeless at Glide, and preparing Thanksgiving dinner at Fisher House to name a few...
While I enjoyed the variety of all of these projects, I have been trying to find a local nonprofit in San Francisco that I would like to volunteer with on a regular basis. So, in the next 10 weeks or so, my goal is to volunteer an average of 5 hours a week so that I spend more time getting to know different nonprofits and find a place to devote my volunteer hours to.
I chose this goal because
I chose this goal because I would like to have more depth and connection with the community service that I do. I would like to be totally passionate about a cause. I would like to know the "clients" who my work is benefiting.
I'm helping because
I recently became involved with ATC, when I volunteered at a Supply Prep night. I was impressed by their mission and by the impact that they have been able to make over the years.
About At The Crossroads
ATC walks the streets of San Francisco, reaching out to homeless youth and young adults on their turf. We work with young people who others have given up on, who would not get help without us. Since we started 10 years ago, we have worked with more than 5,000 youth, helping them build outstanding lives.
