Current Opportunities
INternship Opportunities
We have numerous opportunities to interface with our houseless village building efforts within City Repair and as a member of the Village Coalition. For example, we are looking for interns to support Houseless Villages in participating in our largest annual program, the Village Building Convergence, to support Houseless villages administratively with meeting minutes, and documentation, and a host of other simple but profound ways that you can support your unhoused neighbors.

Volunteer for Phase 2 building
During the first phase of building, we so many of you express interest in this project that we had to turn a few of you away. Thank you for your generosity in helping us successfully complete 10 pods.
During this next phase of building the remaining 5 more pods, we are excited to help connect you to this groundbreaking work.
