The Beginner Homeless Outreach Training covers the basics of how to better understand the complexities of both the personal and systemic aspects of homelessness, how to approach and engage in outreach, how to navigate the resources in Nashville, and how to cultivate active listening skills and healthy boundaries. If you have a little volunteer experience under your belt or are hoping to get more experience in the realm of homeless outreach, this training is for you.

Our trainings are held in spaces that are wheelchair accessible. We operate on a pay-as-you-can basis and ask for attendees to contribute $5-20 for each session. People who can’t pay are also more than welcome to come. Snacks and light refreshments will be provided. Until further notice, mask-wearing is required, and we will make sure participants have adequate room to spread out. To RSVP to any session and receive details about location, please email lindsey@opentablenashville.org.
