Volunteer Opportunities

TSLI and HHB are fortunate to have the help and support of our communities. You can help make a difference in the lives of others by volunteering in any of the following ways:

Work with homeless children in the 
Homework Help Program

Assist adults with GED, English-as-a-second-language, or to write resumes

Donate your expertise and give a workshop or lecture to homeless families or mentally ill adults

Do projects at one of our residential sites

Conduct a donation drive 

For information about TSLI and HHB volunteer opportunities contact Sharon Kenney at (631) 231-3619.

Home Work Help Program 

HHB needs adults, 18 years of age and older, to help homeless children do their homework after school. The program operates Monday through Thursday from 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm, and is located in Huntington Station, NY. 

To volunteer you will need to complete a Volunteer Application (pdf form *) and arrange for an interview. You will also need to be fingerprinted through the Department of Social Services ( because you will be working with children).

Homeless Adults

HHB also needs volunteers to help adults study for the GED, learn English as a Second Language, and to write resumes, learn computers, etc. Schedules are flexible. To volunteer you will need to complete a Volunteer Application (pdf form *) and arrange for an interview. 

Workshops/Lectures

TSLI and HHB often uses guest speakers who donate their time to give workshops or lectures on various topics that are of interest to our clients. Examples of topics are: 

  • Job Search
  • Birth Control
  • Voter's Rights
  • Tenant Rights
  • Fire Safety
  • HIV/AIDS
  • Parenting Issues
  • Personal Safety
  • Personal Appearance/Beauty
  • Stress Reduction
  • Gang Awareness
  • Health and Nutrition
Projects

Individuals or groups, can volunteer to do a project at one of residential sites. In the past volunteers have, among other things, painted, planted flowers, assembled swing sets, and raked leaves.   

Donation Drives

Another great way to help is to conduct a donation drive. Asking your co-workers, friends, family, or club members to donate a few items is an easy way to contribute without spending a lot of time. Items that are always needed ( and greatly appreciated) can be found on our Wish Lists.
