Volunteer Needs From: Pittsburgh Cares

Now more than ever we are relying on grassroots efforts to achieve our mission. We are seeking motivated volunteers to assist with administrative tasks related to day to day operations. Responsibilities include maintaining volunteer databases, creating and distributing recruitment materials, copying/scanning, preparing mailings, and assembling outreach kits. This role offers an opportunity to develop organizational and communication skills while making a positive impact in our community. Some technology or comfort with using technology is preferred but we do have other projects that do not require technology.

Sojourner House's signature event is the Annual Victorian Tea. The Victorian Tea is entering it's 21st year on April 27, 2025. The event will be held at the Wyndham Grand Downtown and we anticipate a crowd of 350 people. The Victorian Tea is a social afternoon with traditional "High Tea" fare, socializing, and fundraising activities. We are looking for volunteers to join the planning of this year's event from selling tickets, gathering auction items, planning the agenda and decor of this annual fundraiser. 

Sojourner House and Sojourner House MOMS (Mentoring, Opportunity, Motivation, Spirituality) provide compassionate, faith-based residential recovery services to mothers and children in the Pittsburgh area.  We help mothers with substance use disorder learn to break the intergenerational cycle of poverty and substance use while rebuilding damaged relationships with their children.  Sojourner House believes women can build a brighter future when surrounded by what means most to them: their children.

We have individuals and groups volunteer to provide educational, parenting, cooking, health and wellness classes for our women and children among many other programs. We do require background checks for some program activities.
