Next weekend Recycled Resources for the Homeless, a small
nonprofit organization based in Highland Park, will be hosting a training for
its newest project, Neighbor-2-Neighbor. This project was created to assist our most at risk chronically homeless neighbors and we need your help to make it
successful. Neighbor-2-Neighbor (N2N) is similar to a buddy system because
it partners a volunteer with a homeless individual identified most at risk by
Recycled Resources for the Homeless.
Recycled Resources is working on securing housing opportunities however
because we do not have any full time staff we must rely on the dedication and
passion of those living in our community to make this project successful. Can
you be a buddy?
Community volunteers will attend a one-day workshop that
entails education surrounding homeless issues, the philosophy of outreach and
engagement, safety, mental illness and substance use. Volunteers will also be
educated about community resources and how to navigate these resources to
assist their buddy. Volunteers will be paired with another volunteer, working
in partnership, to assist their assigned homeless individual.
