The Sixth Street Shelter welcomes volunteers. As a Sixth Street Shelter volunteer, you are offered a unique experience working directly with residents and children of the Shelter or with the upkeep of the facility itself. Our volunteers come alone or in groups. They are welcome for a short term, one day project, or are invited to make a long term volunteer commitment, or just about anything in between.
