Project H
“True poverty is not a poverty of material but a poverty of worth and being wanted”
-Phillip Yancy-
Vision and purpose
Potter’s Place Mission has run Project H since 2010. Project H provides a volunteer work and training opportunity which promotes personal and professional growth, and equips volunteers to provide organizational support to the project and our clients ? homeless, street people, drug addicted people, prostitute and the socially isolated living in poverty. Volunteers are an important resource to our clients, providing experience, models, support, and an invaluable link with the community. Making the most out of your volunteer activities can be crucial to making a real difference and having a rewarding experience.
