Volunteer Roles

Café Companion

Be a friend to our local community members!

This role allows you to connect individually with members and guests in the Recovery Café space. This is an essential role in providing the loving, hospitable space that makes the Recovery Café such a unique and positive place. Listening and caring is the way love shines through. During your visit, you will often sit and talk and you may play games, cards, read, share stories, or conduct various tasks.

School for Recovery Facilitator

Do you have a skill, hobby, or talent that you would like to teach others?

The School for Recovery gives Café members and non-members the chance to grow, heal, discover, take risks, and surprise themselves by doing and becoming what they never thought possible. While the word “recovery” doesn’t appear in most of the course titles, every single class is designed to provide support, wisdom, and companions for the hard work of making healthier choices as we live with whatever it is we are recovering from.

* We do require that School for Recovery facilitators spend a significant amount of time in the café (serving as a Café Companion) prior to working on a class proposal. This will ensure that facilitators understand the café model and have a chance to meet our Members & Guests!

*The School for Recovery desires to offer classes to holistically support the journeys of each member at the Recovery Cafe.Class topics can range from health/wellness, nutrition, yoga, spirituality, job/career preparation, healthy relationships, relapse prevention and more!

Event Facilitator

Bring your creativity & pose your idea for a sober social event!

The goal of recovery from substance abuse is to move anyone from being an active user to having a healthy life in sobriety. Some may not know or recall how to live a life that does not include drug or alcohol use. So participating in fun, sober activities allows our members to have a rich, full life.
