Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States Avalon Housing Volunteers Full time
Position Overview

Avalon Housing is dedicated to the belief that housing is a fundamental human right. Our vision is to cultivate a community where every individual has a stable home and the opportunity to flourish. We develop supportive housing solutions as a sustainable approach to addressing homelessness.

Supportive housing merges affordable living spaces, which we construct, with essential services such as case management. Our mission extends beyond merely assisting individuals in securing housing; our property managers and support coordinators are committed to ensuring that residents maintain their homes. Avalon operates various apartment complexes and collaborates with local housing authorities to offer alternatives for those who have experienced homelessness.

We provide engaging art programming at our community center, and we are currently looking for a dedicated volunteer to lead a weekly art session for our residents. This session will take place on weekday afternoons, with a duration of one hour.

The ideal volunteer should have a genuine passion for serving our community and come prepared with specific art projects to share with our residents. Responsibilities include setting up for the session and assisting with cleanup afterward.

Volunteer Responsibilities

  • Communicate supply needs to Avalon staff prior to each session
  • Prepare project materials for residents upon their arrival
  • Guide and support residents with their artistic endeavors as necessary

Preferred Skills and Qualifications

  • Ability to engage effectively with diverse populations in a respectful manner
  • Team-oriented mindset
  • Positive, enthusiastic attitude with a strong commitment to community service
  • Preferred commitment of at least three months

Physical Requirements

Volunteers may be required to lift and transport items weighing up to 25 pounds.


Avalon Housing is an equal opportunity organization that actively seeks volunteers from diverse backgrounds, including those from historically marginalized communities. We encourage individuals with various life experiences, including those who identify as LGBTQ+, individuals with disabilities, and those with a history of homelessness or recovery, to participate. We also welcome applicants with criminal histories, as we do not inquire about such histories until a volunteer opportunity is offered.
