Volunteer

DuPagePads’ work to end homelessness is made possible by an incredible network of over 4,000 volunteers every year!

Visit the DuPagePads Volunteer Platform to register as a volunteer, complete required skills and trainings, and to learn about and sign-up for open volunteer shifts!

Morning, evening or afternoon Volunteer Opportunities include assisting with Interim Housing, where families and individuals are provided with a safe place to sleep each night, as well as food provision. We are regularly in need of volunteers to help launder towels and linens for our IHC rooms, to sort food and donations, to assist clients in choosing toiletries and other basic needs in our client resource room, and to support our front desk.

Our Education and Employment Team seeks tutors to help the young students who are staying with us, and mentors with Human Resource experience who can help with interviewing practice and resume writing.

Volunteer for Special Events throughout the year, and checkout Virtual Volunteer Opportunities!
