Volunteers are referred to the Transitional Volunteer Program (TVP) from agencies serving people with psychiatric, physical, and cognitive disabilities who would benefit from the support TVP offers.
How it works:
- Counselor and client fill out and send a referral form to our program
- Client attends program orientation: Orientations are scheduled every Tuesday from 11:00am-12:00pm (except holidays) at 1675 California Street (at Van Ness Avenue)
- Client meets one-on-one with a TVP counselor to explore volunteer opportunities that meet their skills and interests
- TVP counselor will arrange interviews with potential volunteer managers
- Placements normally occur within three weeks
TVP volunteers have the opportunity to:
- Provide necessary services to nonprofit agencies and the clients they serve
- Identify and use their skills and talents
- Set and achieve personal and professional goals
- Develop marketable skills and self-esteem
TVP serves volunteers by providing:
- Assessment
- Personalized volunteer placements
- Support throughout the entire volunteer placement
TVP can help you find the volunteer placement that is right for you.
