Project Homeless Connect

Hello PHC Supporters!

Family Connect is just a little more than a week away and we need your volunteer skills to make it happen! Please take a look at the volunteer opportunities listed below and make one your own today!

Participant Check-In: Volunteers welcome participants, explain available services and check-off which services the participant is interested in. Volunteers are required to be seated for the duration of this five-hour shift. Training materials will be emailed prior to the event as well as an onsite training the day of the event. This volunteer opportunity is great for those who might prefer to be seated rather than standing. 12:30PM - 5:30PM, 21 more volunteers needed!

Ushers: Volunteers will be stationed throughout the venue to assist participants with directions and other venue information. 12:30PM - 5:30PM, 14 more volunteers needed!

Break Down Team: This role is crucial to the success of our event! Duties include breaking down and stacking tables and chairs, collecting signs, stacking barricades, clean-up and sweeping, dismantling tents and other break down tasks as assigned. This volunteer opportunity is great for those that may not be able to volunteer during regular event hours but would still like to come by later in the day. 4:30PM - 7:30PM, 15 more volunteers needed!

Medical: The medical area at Project Homeless Connect is a basic urgent care center where brief medical care is provided but, more importantly, participants are connected to primary care providers in clinics throughout the city. Participants are triaged, have their vital signs taken and are then evaluated by doctors and nurse practitioners. Punctuality is essential for training purposes. On-site orientation provided from 12:00PM - 1:00PM. 12:00PM - 5:30PM.

Physicians: 5 more volunteers needed!
RN/LV: 4 more volunteers needed!
MA/Nursing: 12 more volunteers needed!


Family Connect will take place in the Bayview/Hunters Point neighborhood. We are excited for our new location at the intersection of Third Street and Oakdale Avenue including the Bayview Opera House Ruth Williams Memorial Theater, the Joseph Lee Recreation Center and Mendell Square.

Services will include medical, dental, vision, employment, prenatal, women's health, school registration (through SFUSD), financial counseling, banking and more. Workshops and classes available for the whole family!
