1) coordinate a monthly training and support group to provide feedback, professional oversight and mentoring opportunities for volunteers working with the homeless in San Francisco. This support group will also train and support a new group of mentors who will support LGBTQ homeless youth. (2011-2013)
2) create interactive multimedia trainings and classes featuring the collaborating partners in SF CARE. Talks on deep listening, ethical boundaries, deescalating conflicts, basic training on supporting individuals with chronic mental health issues and the laws and history of homelessness in San Francisco will be taught by the Revs. Megan Rohrer, Dawn Roginski, Lyle Beckmen, Dan Solberg and Valerie McEntee.
SF CARE is a collaboration of St. Paulus Lutheran Church, Night Ministry and Welcome, faithful organizations who are working together in order to increase our ability to help the underserved in San Francisco. We are particularly passionate about providing opportunities, resources and support for individuals who are poor, homeless, formerly homeless and experiencing mental health or brain disorder issues.
CARE stands for Compassion, Advocacy, Resilience and Education
St. Paulus Lutheran Church: We seek to be an inclusive community of God’s diverse people, visible in the world. Like Jesus, we: Care about one another and all creation, Honor the poor, Tell the truth to ourselves and others in love, Encourage justice and show mercy.
The San Francisco Night Ministry provides middle-of-the-night compassionate non-judgmental pastoral care, counseling, referral and crisis intervention to anyone in any kind of distress. Through our Crisis Telephone Line staffed by trained volunteer Crisis Line Counselors; and through person-to-person encounters with ordained clergy on the streets, this ministry is available every night of the year from 10:00 pm - 4:00 am.
Welcome seeks to provide a faithful response to poverty and to improve the quality of life for individuals in our community by providing: hospitality; education; food; and referrals for housing, health care and drug and alcohol treatment. Programs: Welcome Center, Project Faith Connect, Vanguard Revisited, Somatic Trauma Care, Saturday Community Dinners, Urban Share Community Gardening, and The Free Farm
