 Thank you for your interest in Project Homeless Connect.  Below are two videos.  Both are several years old, but will give you a feel for the event, for the Legal Center, and for your role as a volunteer.  

The videos below are both several years old, but will give you a feel for the event and your role as a volunteer.
