Interpreters
Volunteer Interpreters for Russian, Polish, and Spanish are needed to help us better serve our clients. Volunteers should be available between 7:30 and 4pm Monday-Friday, but need not be present the whole day. If you or someone you know can help, contact Clinical Director Todd Stull at t.stull@journeystheroadhome.org or 847-963-9163 x115.

Due to the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, all volunteer orientations have been cancelled until June.

Our commitment to serving the homeless is comprehensive and determined to helping them create a better life for themselves and their families. JOURNEYS' employees are assisted by a pool of over 2,500 volunteers who put in over 75,000 hours a year at the HOPE Center and PADS sites.

All volunteers are required to participate in an orientation training. Training is essential for volunteers to learn how the agency is structured, how to interact with the clients, and on general volunteer opportunities. Once you have completed an orientation you will be invited to sign up for specific volunteer opportunities as they become available.
No registration necessary!
