Event Navigation

A workshop for current and potential new volunteers for the GJC Homelessness Hospitality Network, as well as for those who just wish to deepen their understanding of this issue, will be held on Sun, March 31 from 10:30-12:30 in the Maslow Auditorium.  Rachel Falkove, the director of the Philadelphia Interfaith Hospitality Network, and additionally an alumni of their program, will both provide us with insight into the challenges the families face and how we can sharpen our skills to best assist them. Light refreshments will be served.  If you wish to attend this event, please RSVP to Debbie Stern, but feel free to come even if you don’t get a chance to RSVP!

As a result of attending this workshop attendees will:

  • Gain a deeper understanding of homelessness and the families GJC hosts
  • Learn how to be better volunteers
  • Share your own experiences and suggestions with one another
  • Hear about strategies to prevent homelessness and ways (other than volunteering at GJC) to be involved in these efforts
