There are multiple opportunities and several ways to be part of the Downtown San Diego
Registry Week. The project will take place over a six-day period from Sunday, September
19, 2010 through Friday, September 24, 2010.
During that week, we anticipate needing upwards of 150 volunteers, most of which will be
needed to conduct the surveys with homeless individuals on the streets downtown.
However, there are other vital roles to support the efforts of the survey volunteers and to
conduct the data entry.
Important: Food and drink will be provided to you at the volunteer training and during
every volunteer shift!

1. SURVEY VOLUNTEERS: We need approximately 100 to 125 volunteers to
work in teams of four to interview homeless individuals for the Registry. This is a
four-day commitment and, due to the manner in which the outreach is conducted,
the same team of four must survey the assigned geographical area all three days.
Each team will work together in a designated predetermined geographical area the
entire three days of the registry/survey gathering. To be part of a survey team, you
will need to participate in a half-day training session related to interviewing
homeless people and completing the survey forms.

3. HEADQUARTERS VOLUNTEERS: We need 25 to 30 volunteers during the week to staff Volunteer
Headquarters. Headquarters volunteers will help set up for the initial volunteer training on Sunday, September 19
and/or assist at volunteer headquarters each survey morning (food/supplies setup, cleanup and help with survey
volunteer questions). We also need help breaking down the headquarters on Thursday, September 23. It would
be good to have a few volunteers who are willing to supervise or who have experience supervising volunteers to
be in charge of overall management each morning to help get survey volunteers out the door and download
photos/collect surveys when they return.
