Volunteer for One City Day of Service, July 11, at Cameron House
Join Cameron House and Asians Are Strong for One City Day of Service.
On Saturday, July 11, San Francisco will come together for One City Day, a citywide day of service led by First Lady Becca Prowda and Mayor Daniel Lurie. Click on the button to volunteer—space is limited!
Cameron House and Asians Are Strong will lead volunteers in assembling care kits, writing words of encouragement, participating in reflection activities, learning about the signs of intimate partner violence, and taking part in a personal safety workshop.
This is an opportunity to support survivors of domestic violence and hardship.
Sign Up to Volunteer via their Official Website
Participate as an individual volunteer or organize a group to serve together. Either way, sign up early, as space is limited. The Cameron House parking lot will have limited spots available for volunteers and will prioritize those with disabled placards and mobility accessibility needs. Volunteers are encouraged to take public transit, carpool, or rideshare.
The Day of Service will begin with a self-defense class led by Tuff Love, a nonprofit organization committed to transforming lives and communities through the power of self-defense and martial arts.
Next, Hudson Liao from Asians Are Strong will lead a practical session on the safe and effective use of pepper spray for personal safety.
The final portion of the program will focus on domestic violence awareness and community support. Our very own Cameron House staff will discuss the signs of domestic violence and share guidance on how to support friends, family members, and colleagues who may be experiencing abuse.
We will conclude with an interactive conversation featuring Zeien Cheung, from Asian Women Are Strong, who will facilitate a discussion on women empowerment and community care.
Due to the sensitive nature of the conversation and the level of attention required for the activities, this event is intended for participants and volunteers who are 18 years of age or older.
