OurCalling's Street Outreach Volunteer Application

OurCalling's work extends beyond our Outreach Center through our Street Outreach Team. They meet people where they are in Dallas County—on the streets, in the woods, and in alleys—building relationships and creating pathways for people to get off the streets.
