Hello Friend,

We are recruiting volunteers now for the City of Vancouver Count of Homeless which will take place Tuesday, March 27th in the streets and the evening of Monday, March 26th inside the shelters.

We're hoping you will participate as a volunteer again this year and also that you will recruit only among friends and colleagues you know will be good at this. Shifts will be 2 hrs and training will be 2 hrs, so this will be a 4-hr commitment.

The people we are seeking to volunteer have a "customer service" orientation to life. They will have worked with the homeless, addicted, mentally ill, or will have traveled on a low budget in other cultures. We are looking for people who are outgoing, curious, persistent and are NOT afraid to make mistakes. A sense of humour and deep compassion define our best volunteers. They are like YOU.

Please complete and email the form attached ASAP if you are able to participate! We will contact you in early March to let you know the training dates. If you have any questions at all, please contact us (judy.graves @ vancouver.ca OR liza.jimenez @ vancouver.ca).

Very thankful for your willingness to volunteer and to help recruit!

Judy & Liza
