Extreme Weather Centers: Volunteer Opportunities

Are you interested in volunteering at a winter warming center or a summer cooling center? We are looking for volunteers to help us!

Please contact Miriam Magaña Lopez at miriam.magana@cityofvallejo.net to be added to our volunteer database. When an extreme weather event happens and it triggers an opening, we will contact volunteers with anticipated needs. As a volunteer you can chose to volunteer once or as many times as you'd like.

Volunteer Role: Volunteers help guests sign in and out of the warming/cooling center, offer blankets/pillows, and food/drinks, as available. Volunteers may be asked to help pass out flyers with resource information and help unpack or pack up supplies depending on needs. All volunteers will get an over the phone or in-person orientation to help them feel prepared for their volunteer shift. All volunteers are required to fill out and sign the City of Vallejo and Greater Vallejo Recreation District (GVRD) volunteer application; the applications will be sent ahead of time.
