Café Companion at Recovery Café SLU

Recovery Café is a Membership-based recovery support community serving people who have experienced trauma and the results of trauma like homelessness, substance use, and other mental health challenges . Our fantastic Volunteers are an essential part of our team. Whether they're serving coffee, dishing up lunch, or sharing a much-needed listenering ear, our Volunteers help nurture our loving community and culture of recovery for everyone who comes through our doors.

The Café's Community Volunteers, called Café Companions, get involved through program support (helping serve coffee and meals, cleaning up around the Café space, doing short-term projects, etc.) and through Member engagement (getting to know a Member over a meal, playing a game together, participating in a class in the School for Recovery, etc.). Café Companions are encouraged to show up as their authentic selves and build genuine relationships in the Café community.

We have two locations in Seattle: our SODO Café (4202 6th Ave S) and our SLU Café (2022 Boren Ave). These volunteer opportunities will be in-person at our SLU Café. On-site training is available for volunteers. Volunteers are required to follow our policies, which will be covered during orientation. We encourage a weekly or biweekly commitment with a minimum 2-hour shift; however, volunteer opportunities are flexible.
