Volunteer at CHAT

Our organization relies on dozens of volunteers in a variety of roles, and it's a great way to get more involved with the Chico community. Volunteers are engaged in and needed for nearly every aspect of CHAT's work!

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer Tasks Include

Volunteer with Residents

Work directly with the residents of CHAT properties to empower their independent living through move-in assistance or educational guidance.

CHAT Housing Support Volunteers:

Part of our mission is to help connect people with social and medical services and to help them set life goals and then work towards those goals. This team of essential volunteers work directly with residents on skill-building, budgeting, nutrition, conflict resolution, medical issues, gardening, etc. These folks act as supporters, coaches, and mentors, and sometimes just as friends who can give sensible advice or lend an ear.

Moving Residents In and Out:

We try to keep a moving crew available to help quickly move residents in or out of our residences. Let us know if you have experience with moving or if you're able-bodied and would like to help.

Volunteer with Properties

Help CHAT create and maintain CHAT properties. Contribute to the construction of Everhart Village or complete maintenance of CHAT properties.

Volunteer Tasks Include

Home Maintenance:

CHAT manages nearly 60 residences and all of them require occasional maintenance. We need a team of folks to help with these maintenance projects including items such as painting, light landscaping/gardening.

Everhart Village Sleeping Cabin and Site Construction:

We need volunteers with experience in construction, carpentry, plumbing, and general contracting to help build out the sleeping cabins for Everhart Village and to work on the final site.

Volunteer Tasks Include

Volunteer in the Office

Work with CHAT professionals to facilitate CHAT programs through administrative support and grant assistance.

Office and Administrative Help:

We would like some help with filing applications, making copies, submitting forms, and various other office and administrative tasks.

Communications: Outreach, Social Media, Research, Photography/Videography:

We are always seeking to reach out to other allied and sympathetic organizations and would welcome those who enjoy that kind of work or those who have contacts with other organizations that may be allied with CHAT's mission. We also produce a constant stream of social media on Facebook and our website and would welcome anyone who wants to help take pictures of staff or who can recommend good articles to highlight for our supporters or do some light research to create interesting posts.

Grant Writing and Administration:

CHAT relies heavily on grant funding. We have recently been awarded a couple of significant grants and are always looking for more. If you have experience or just an interest in grant writing or grant administration we could use your help
