For 50 years, Shanti Peer Support Volunteers have been providing emotional and practical support to people living with life-threatening illness, as well as LGBT isolated seniors and adults with disabilities, much like you would support a friend or family member in need. If you would like to tangibly enhance the life of someone who needs it the most, we encourage you to contact us and learn more about this truly unique opportunity. Peer Support Volunteers need to be 18+ years of age. As a peer support volunteer, you will: --Go through the internationally-recognized Shanti Model of Peer Support training --Be matched 1-on-1 with a client to whom you will provide companionship, a non-judgmental ear and light practical assistance --Join a community of thoughtful, supportive volunteers and staff For this program, we ask for a commitment of 2 hours a week for at least 6 months. We also organize support groups once a month, and ask all volunteers to attend. The hours can be done according to volunteer's schedules--a lot of our volunteers visit their clients on weekends or evenings--so it's definitely flexible. If you decide to enroll in the Peer Support Program there is a mandatory volunteer training. The next training will be in-person at our San Francisco office - November 1st-3rd, 2024. The purpose of this training is to prepare volunteers to work with individuals who are isolated, or living with life-threatening illnesses and other disabilities. The training will supply information about challenges our clients face as well as teach communication and listening skills through a variety of interactive exercise. The training is intensive, but our volunteers typically find it to be an enriching, community-building experience.

We are looking for volunteers to help our PAWS (Pets Are Wonderful Support) program (Must be age 18+). PAWS provides pet care services to clients who are physically unable to perform pet care tasks without assistance. These services are available based on client need and volunteer availability. Pet Foster Care services are for emergency situations, such as when a client has a crisis related to health, family, housing, etc. PAWS will provide pet foster volunteers with food and supplies, and will assist with any veterinary care that should arise. Pet Transportation services are for clients who are physically unable to transport their pet to and from the vet. Volunteers pick up and drop off the client’s pet for veterinary appointments. We do not expect our volunteers to be available for this all the time; if you are able and interested in helping with this, please apply here: https://www.tfaforms.com/4755427
