Submitted by the Healthy Homes Program
The Healthy Homes Program offers free, voluntary, and confidential home visits to help reduce housing-related health risks like mold, asthma triggers, exposure to toxins, and more. This program relies on trained volunteers to conduct these visits. Healthy Homes is holding a free training for new volunteers starting January 14. As a Healthy Homes Volunteer, you will gain practical life skills and help members of your community create healthier living spaces!
Who can become a Healthy Homes Volunteer? YOU! No prior experience is necessary. The 30 hours of hands-on training will equip volunteers with the knowledge to create healthier living spaces for themselves and Thurston County residents. The training is fun, engaging, and useful. Once the training is completed, volunteers are asked to give back 30 volunteer hours to the program. Volunteers can perform Healthy Home Visits in pairs, staff booths at community events, assist with community outreach, and more.
Training Schedule: Wednesdays from 6:00-9:00 p.m. January 14 – March 25, 2015
Training Location: Thurston County Public Health & Social Services, 412 Lilly Rd. NE Olympia. Across from Providence St. Peter Hospital, served by bus route #60.
