Compassion in Action
Provide trauma-informed, relationship-based massage to unhoused and low-income individuals in shelters, drop-in centers, and community service sites across San Fransisco.
Gain hands-on experience, support healing, and make a meaningful impact.
Join our Volunteer Community
We are seeking massage therapists to join our community of service-oriented volunteers. CTI offers chair massage in shelters, drop-in centers, and other service sites, expanding access to healing touch for people often excluded from care.
This work goes beyond technique. Many clients have experienced trauma, and our settings can be dynamic. We prioritize safety and seek therapists who are grounded, compassionate, and adaptable.
If this resonates with you, we’d love to hear from you:
