Horizons Homeless Children Volunteering

Horizons for Homeless Children works to improve the lives of young children experiencing homelessness in Massachusetts and help their families succeed. Its programs combine early education, opportunities for play, family support, and advocacy focused on the needs of children and families facing homelessness.

Volunteers play an important role through shelter-based Playspaces, where trained adults provide children with caring interactions and joyful opportunities to play. Horizons also provides resources for Playspace volunteers, including guidance on healthy relationships, communication, early literacy, social-emotional growth, and responding to challenging behaviors.

Readers seeking additional support can also explore NHREA’s Massachusetts homeless assistance resources and federal assistance resources.
