The Hoboken Shelter
Volunteers help prepare and serve lunch and dinner to guests in the shelter's kitchen, working shifts throughout the day. This is one of the more teen-friendly shelters in the state: students 18 and under are welcome to help cook and serve, and only those 14 and under need to be accompanied by an adult. Email or call to reserve a shift. Groups of six or more should email the volunteer coordinator directly.
Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newark
Help build and repair homes alongside a construction foreman and site supervisor — painting, framing, insulating, hanging sheetrock, installing flooring, and landscaping. The minimum commitment is a single day, and you pick your dates from the volunteer calendar. Volunteers aged 16 and 17 may not use power tools and must be accompanied by an adult. A parental consent form is required for anyone under 18.
