Multifaith Works Announces Upcoming Trainings
Isolated and alone – Who will listen?
Meaningful volunteerism is about more than stuffing envelopes. Overcoming illness and addiction is about more than an excellent doctor. Multifaith Works seeks to bridge the differences, uniting compassionate volunteers with people who are isolated and alone. Currently, over 450 Multifaith Works volunteers provide nonjudgmental listening and practical assistance to people living with HIV/AIDS or MS, inmates in local prisons and jails, people in recovery from chemical addiction, and family members grieving the loss of a loved one. Through the Shanti program, volunteers are trained and matched one-to-one to listen and offer emotional support without giving opinions and advice. Through the CareTeam program, volunteers work in groups to assist with transportation, plan gatherings, and build a safety net of trust and care. By building these relationships, volunteers offer connection and inclusion to people who are otherwise cut off from community. Trainings happen only three times a year and are fast approaching: The CareTeam training is October 4th at St. James Cathedral and the Shanti training is October 18th & 19th, and October 25th and 26th at Multifaith Works.
