Volunteer

Urban Angels SF volunteers share a community spirit of caring and a sense of pride that comes from doing work that is good for the soul alongside friends who share this same perspective. 

Volunteers are the backbone of all of Urban Angels SF programs. They are highly productive and they share meaningful and enjoyable experiences.

 

Our volunteer opportunities are in San Francisco serving our neighbors who are in need.

Urban Angels SF offers opportunities to volunteer from home, on the street, in the office, donation handlers, drivers, promoters, fundraisers, tech staff, program staff, board and advisory board members.

Ways to Volunteer

  • Process Donations

    Join the UASF team of volunteers to provide the vital work of preparing the in-kind donations, mainly clothing and related items, that our drivers will soon deliver to our guests.

  • Drivers

    Where the rubber meets the road is in the delivery of the donations, mainly clothing to our guests, many of whom live in sleeping villages scattered around the city. This can usually be done on a schedule that suits the driver.

  • Office Work

    If you have computer skills, organizational skills and people skills, there is a place at UASF for office doing light office work both in the office and from home.

  • Promotion & Marketing

    UASF is always in need of helpers to get out the word about our presence and our mission on social media. UASF also has need for people with talent for messaging our content in the form of letters, emails and signs. Our Gratitude Team is charged with sharing our deep appreciation with our donors and volunteers.

  • Fundraising
