Mission: Sojourner House and Sojourner House MOMS (Mentoring, Opportunity, Motivation, Spirituality) provide compassionate, faith-based residential recovery services to mothers and children in the Pittsburgh area. We help mothers with substance use disorder learn to break the intergenerational cycle of poverty and substance use while rebuilding damaged relationships with their children. Sojourner House believes women can build a brighter future when surrounded by what means most to them: their children.
Volunteer Need: We are seeking individuals and/or groups to provide educational, parenting, cooking, health and wellness classes or arts and crafts activities for the women and children in our residential treatment program.
Scheduling: Activities are scheduled around the program's existing treatment schedule. Currently, there is general availability between 1pm to 6pm Monday through Saturday for activities to be scheduled. If you have an idea for a class, skills, or activity you would like to share with our families, let us know and we will work with you to confirm your activity and find a time to come in!
Requirement: Background checks are required for all volunteers who interact with the children in our program.
