The Chicago Coalition for the Homeless is an advocacy organization. Our success comes from the collaborative effort of many people.

You can help by:

1. Taking action with us through letter writing, calling your legislator or attending a rally. The way to find out about these opportunities is to sign up for our email action alerts.

2. Educating fellow members of your congregation, university or civic group by inviting our Speakers Bureau to come out and share their story of homelessness and experience fighting for change with CCH.

3. Forming a core team at your congregation, university, or civic group if one doesn’t already exist to advocate for the end and prevention of homelessness.

4. Volunteering at a local shelter. Look for opportunities at http://www.volunteermatch.org/

If you are interested in forming a committee to fight and prevent homelessness at your congregation, university or civic group, please email Hannah Willage or call 312-435-4548 ext 239.

Current Volunteer Opportunities:

Chicago Coalition for the Homeless is looking for a work-study student, intern or volunteer to assist with data entry, donor acknowledgement and special event prize solicitation. You will be working in the development department. The time commitment is flexible, but work must take place during regular business hours (9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Mon. to Fri.). We prefer volunteers able to work long-term--for at least several months--but we are particularly in need of volunteer help during the month of December. College students home for the holidays are welcome! Database experience is preferred but not required; you must be detail-oriented. Please email a resume or brief description of yourself to Mimi Chubb at mchubb@chicagohomeless.org.
