Share provides a wide spectrum of services ranging from street outreach, hunger response, and emergency shelter to housing and asset building. We offer individuals services, resources, and the tools they need to end their homelessness, secure housing, and maintain that housing. Each year, we assist more than 8,000 people experiencing poverty, hunger and/or homelessness.
We seek bright, driven people who are passionate about social justice and who want challenging career opportunities that deliver personal and professional fulfillment. Our dedicated and energetic employees provide essential services to a vulnerable population. We take pride in making a difference in the lives of so many every day.
Share recognizes that our employees are the foundation for our organization as well as our heart and soul. Share has a generous and robust benefit package including 4 weeks of PTO, paid sick leave, a wellness program, 401(k) with match, and health/ dental and life insurance. We encourage a culture of supportive compassion for our participants, co-workers, and volunteers.
Share believes every person counts. Together we pursue a stronger community by building relationships, advocating for equitable access to housing and food stability while empowering every individual to grow and thrive.
Share wants to be part of a community that brings about change. We are committed to actively working to dismantle racist systems, focusing on sustainable solutions to structural racism, police violence, and inequitable economic, health care, and education systems. It requires all institutions, including ours, to ask what more we can and should do to live our commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion – and we must be brave enough to make changes.
