Thursday November 20 @6:30 pm - 7:00 am
November’s Volunteer Opportunity is Provided by the Covenant House!
Last March, a group of ISH residents (some of whom are still at ISH) had an amazing experience sleeping out to raise awareness for homeless youth. You can read about it on our website here.
If you are interested in learning more about how you can be involved, RSVP below! The group will meet on Sunday, November 9th at 2pm in the Great Hall to discuss the details. Note, the sleep out is actually on November 20th.
Below is taken from the Covenant House website:
This November, the Covenant House will organize leaders across North America to spend one night on the streets to raise awareness for the plight of homeless youth.
