Shepherd's Crossing is dependent almost entirely upon its many wonderful volunteers. There are several ways in which you can become involved.

1. Volunteer “counselors” are the heart of our organization and one of the most rewarding ways to become involved! Counselors work directly with the clients; assess each case individually offering both emotional and financial assistance. We have counselor training once a year (January) and written guidelines. All counselors are asked to shadow other counselors until you become comfortable and properly informed to counsel on your own.

2. If you would like to become involved and would rather not work directly with clients, there is always basic data entry, copying, stapling, and a variety of other office tasks needing to be completed. We are looking for a more permanent data entry person currently; you would need to be available during business hours.

3. We also use an “intake” person welcoming clients as they arrive, to answer basic questions, start them with the paper work required to receive assistance and photo copying.
