Make a Difference.

YOU are Essential to Cocoon House

Do you know that all it takes for a young person to feel supported and cared for is one caring adult? Thankfully, folks who access Cocoon House services have a whole community of caring adults investing in them. In the video above, one of our program managers shares how community support - even if it's behind the scenes - can make such a difference in the life of a young person experiencing instability. When they know there's someone out there who cares and provides for them, life can begin to feel normal again.

Thank you for being a part of our community!

  • We are looking for an ongoing volunteer who wants to be a part of the Cocoon House team and help us manage the front desk at The HUB location on Colby Ave in Everett. Volunteers help us by providing a welcoming and supportive presence for all the guests and visitors coming to the reception area. We are looking for folks who are able to commit to volunteering between the hours of 9am and 5pm, Monday – Friday and commit to volunteering a minimum of 8 hours per week. In return, there will be a team to support you and you will have the chance to be a part of our work in helping to break the cycle of homelessness for teens, young people and their families throughout Snohomish County.
