Next Steps & Community Guidelines

Before you submit your application, please review what to expect next and what matters most to our team.

What Happens Next? Once you submit this form, our team will review your information. Approved volunteers will receive an email invitation to join our private Volunteer Message Board, where we coordinate shifts, daily dinners, and emergency relief supplies.
Financial & Supply Policy (Important): Please note that AZ Hugs operates on a mutual aid model. Any personal spending on supplies, gas, or giving money directly to those in need is considered a personal donation by the volunteer. Reimbursements are not guaranteed and must always receive prior approval in writing via text or email directly from Austin Davis and the board before any purchases or expenses are made.
Representing AZ Hugs: As an AZ Hugs volunteer, you are an ambassador of our mission. When interacting with unhoused families, children, pets, and fellow community members, we ask that you always lead with:
- Dignity & Respect: Meeting people exactly where they are without judgment.
- Compassion in Crisis: Staying calm, kind, and supportive during high-stress emergency response situations.
- Privacy & Safety: Protecting the personal dignity and privacy of every family and child we serve.

I understand and agree to uphold the values and guidelines of AZ Hugs.
