Fwd: [Hshs-break] Volunteer at HSHS over Spring Break!

by Dudley Public Service

*Volunteer at the Harvard Sq. Homeless Shelter Over Spring Break!* **** Around town anytime between *Friday, March 9 and Monday, March 19*? Join us at the shelter this Spring Break! Break shifts are a great way to "try out" the shelter, so if you have friends or roommates who've been curious, now's the time. No previous experience or training required--just a willingness to lend a helping hand. Shifts are as short as 2 hours--shift descriptions and map of our location are below. Please contact us at hshs.volunteer(a)gmail.com with any questions. Spring break shifts run from *dinner on Friday, March 9 through breakfast on Monday, March 19*. Accordingly, that means that regular volunteers are * not *responsible for shifts that fall in this time range--regular shifts will end with breakfast on Friday, March 9 and resume with dinner on Monday, March 19. * * *About Us: *The Harvard Sq. Homeless Shelter is the only student-run homeless shelter in the nation, with a volunteer force of 150+. We are always in need of extra hands over school holidays. We hope you will join us! * * *Sign-up for Spring Break (dinner on Friday, March 9 through breakfast on Monday, March 19)* LINK: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApIEyYujHlt-dFRHTTlVOFI1V25KV0… ** *We particularly need help with the following shifts: * *Thursday Overnight 3/15* *Friday Evening 3/16* *Friday Overnight 3/16* *Saturday Evening 3/17* *Sunday Breakfast 3/18* *Monday Breakfast 3/19* Please forward this on to friends you think may be interested. We will appreciate all the help we can get! Thanks for your support, The Harvard Sq. Homeless Shelter http://hshshelter.org _________________________ * * *DESCRIPTION of SHIFTS ***************************************************** There are 4 shifts: Dinner: 6:45 PM - 9:15 PM Evening: 9:00 PM - 11:15 PM Overnight: 11 PM - 8:30 AM Breakfast: 6:30 AM - 8:30 AM *But if it is SATURDAY morning, then it is* [Friday] Overnight: 11 PM - 9:30 AM [Saturday] Breakfast: 7:30 AM - 9:30 AM BREAKFAST -- Come in bright and early to greet our guests as they begin to wake up! You'll be making breakfast and helping to clean the shelter (an invaluable service!) after all the guests leave at 8am. DINNER -- You'll be making and serving dinner, and perhaps be lucky enough to run on a food salvage trip or collect pastries from the many shops that donate to us. EVENING -- This is a relaxed time to visit with guests as they prepare for bed. It's usually very quiet and a great opportunity for some wonderful conversations. Help is also often needed in the kitchen to clean-up after dinner and prepare plates of food to hand out at the door. OVERNIGHT -- You'll stay awake with other volunteers and night-owl guests, basically having more good conversations, watching movies, doing laundry, reading, baking cookies, etc! This is a fantastic shift because it's a rare opportunity to have long conversations and get to know people well. People often say it's the best shift! And never fear, we do take turns sleeping -- the night is typically divided into three shifts and you will be awake for one of them (there is a staff room with bunk beds, so you will be able to sleep when it is not your turn to be awake). *The shelter is located at 66 Winthrop Street in the basement of the University Lutheran Church in Harvard Square (on the corner of Dunster and Winthrop Streets, next to the MAC and Pinocchio's Pizza).

Hi everyone, If you're interested in joining Science Day for Kids with the Harvard Experimentors this spring, please attend their planning meeting tomorrow afternoon. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Janine *From: *janell holloway <janell.jh(a)gmail.com> *Date: *March 3, 2012 2:07:52 PM EST *To: *"xmentors-list(a)lists.hcs.harvard.edu" < xmentors-list(a)lists.hcs.harvard.edu> *Subject: **[Xmentors-List] Science Day Meeting Reminder 3/4* Hey everyone! We will be having a *mandatory* *Science Day* meeting this *Sunday, March 4th* in *Eliot House Memorial Dining Hall from 12-1.* We need everyone who signed up to volunteer for Science Day to attend the meeting so that we can place volunteers in classrooms, and begin to create lesson plans. At our last meeting, we decided that this year's theme is going to be Exploration. It would be great to have all of our volunteers present so that we can brainstorm for lesson plan ideas. E-mail me if you have any questions. See you there, Cesar Monarrez Science Day Coordinator _______________________________________________ Xmentors-list mailing list Xmentors-list(a)lists.hcs.harvard.edu https://lists.hcs.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/xmentors-list _______________________________________________ Xmentors-list mailing list Xmentors-list(a)lists.hcs.harvard.edu https://lists.hcs.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/xmentors-list
