» Volunteering

We invite you to roll up your sleeves and become actively involved with the Interfaith Housing Center.

Current volunteer opportunities include:

• Become a Volunteer Tester: As part of our responsibility to enforce fair housing laws, we conduct testing of housing providers on an ongoing basis. The testing is dependent on a cadre of trained volunteers working sporadically as potential home-seekers. We provide training and a small stipend. Volunteers are needed of every race, ability and age.

• Advocacy and Education: Inform the public about housing issues and promote fair housing solutions in your community. You can attend Interfaith Housing Center meetings; become a leader, public speaker or event organizer; or simply help with basic organizational and publicity assignments.
  
• General Support: Volunteer at the Interfaith Housing Center office in Winnetka to help with mailings, phone calls, etc.
• Update Housing Research: Collect and analyze data to update our Community Fact Sheets. Each fact sheet summarizes housing information for a community within our service area. Our staff will identify sources of accurate data and answer any questions you may have about the research. You can revise all 16 of the fact sheets, or choose a community of interest.
