Join MHYP for a meaningful volunteer opportunity at the Urban Peak youth homeless shelter, where a small team of 5–7 MHYP volunteers will prepare and serve dinner for 50–75 young people living onsite. This is a hands-on opportunity to directly support Denver youth by providing something essential: a warm, nourishing meal in a safe, welcoming space. 

Urban Peak is Denver’s only nonprofit offering a full spectrum of care for youth ages 12–24 experiencing homelessness. Thank you for showing up with care, respect, and generosity. Providing a warm meal is a powerful way to support youth on their path toward stability—and your time truly makes a difference!
