Volunteering at Lambert House

Staff | Volunteers | Youth

Volunteers make it possible for Lambert House to keep its doors open. We have approximately 75 volunteers whose roles include board members, drop-in center volunteers, cyber center volunteers, discussion group facilitators, activity volunteers, youth volunteers, and meal providers. The purpose of the volunteer program is to provide the delivery of all programs and services at Lambert House.

For information on volunteering, email us.

Drop in center Volunteers supervise the drop-in center and are responsible for providing a safe and supportive place for GLBTQ youth and their allies. You are asked to cover a minimum of one three hour shift per week, and commit to a year of volunteering. The minimum age to be a drop-center volunteer is 24. There is a required three day training that is offered three times per year. Please e-mail the Volunteer Program Manager to find out the dates of the next volunteer training.

Cyber Center Volunteers make it possible for Lambert House youth to access computers in a GLBTQ friendly atmosphere. There is a required three day training. Minimum age is 24.

Support and Discussion Group Facilitators create a safe space in which youth can converse about life experiences. Standard Lambert House youth groups include Queer Young Females, Boys Who Like Boys, Trans Group and Sex, Dating, and Relationships group.

Youth Volunteers: Lambert House is a space in which you can develop leadership and technical skills by planning an event or activity, supporting a currently existing program, or creating your own adventure! Paid and unpaid internships, school community service credit and service learning opportunities are offered.

Meal Providers are organizations and individuals who purchase and prepare an evening meal on a regular schedule (ex: the first Wednesday of each month) for 10-20 Lambert House youth and other volunteers. We all share dinner together as a community!
