Volunteering to help a homeless individual or family is a truly rewarding experience. Our volunteers play a critical role in helping CASS to empower men, women and children to end their homelessness. CASS’ shelters and programs have a variety of opportunities for individuals to work directly and indirectly to end homelessness. For the safety and well being of our clients, our volunteer application and screening process is required for all individual volunteers.
