Recruiting Weekly Office Volunteers
ORGANIZATION: AT THE CROSSROADS
Please visit the new page to apply.
At The Crossroads (ATC) is looking for awesome people to support our counselors and organization every week! Our office volunteers are a critical part of keeping our office running smoothly and ensuring we are meeting our clients' needs .
This could look like preparing supplies that counselors take on street outreach or to individual meetings, making sure our pantry and clothing closet are well stocked and presentable, make great candy packs, or updating our client resource board, and many more tasks!
We are looking for volunteers to come into our office in downtown San Francisco for at least a 2 hour shift between 2pm - 5pm on Mondays or Tuesdays. We understand that with hybrid work schedules people might not be able to commit to a weekly volunteer slot, so we are happy to arrange something for every other week. These shifts are the priority for ATC at this time but we do have some daytime shifts on other days that may be available.
We are asking for a six month minimum commitment for a weekly shift. If you're interested in becoming an ATC volunteer, please submit the interest form: https://bit.ly/3LSanDe

Mission Statement
At The Crossroads reaches out to homeless youth and young adults at their point of need, and works with them to build healthy and fulfilling lives. By bringing our services directly onto the streets, we cultivate long-term, unconditional relationships with young people who would otherwise be disconnected from consistent support. We empower our clients to accomplish their individual goals, build community, pursue their passions, and find their own paths to happiness and stability. We believe that there are no limits to what our clients can achieve, and that everyone deserves the chance to build an outstanding life.
Description
In 1997, ATC was founded by Rob Gitin and Taj Mustapha after they received an Echoing Green Fellowship to start a program for underserved homeless youth. They designed ATC’s nighttime outreach program to serve these disconnected young people and bring support directly to them, without lots of paperwork and long wait times. In May 2018 Charles Lerner joined our team as our new Executive Director. Under Charles’ leadership, ATC published its first-ever ad campaign, completed a strategic planning process that resulted in three strategic directions for 2020-2023, and launched a project to create a theory of change model that will guide our work moving forward. After 24 years, meeting youth where they are at and providing them with unconditional support still remains the foundation of At The Crossroads’ work. To this day, we have never kicked a single client out of our program.
Based on over two decades of experience, we know that building long-term caring relationships with the most disconnected young people on the streets results in the following outputs:
- Increased trust and comfort in ATC’s counselors over time.
- Increased access to food and essential supplies that help clients think beyond survival mode.
- Increased achievement of individual goals related to housing, mental and physical health needs, and school or employment.
