Front Desk Volunteer

This team of volunteers needs to be characterized by resourcefulness, courage (not easily scared), the ability to handle awkward situations calmly, skills to defer giving an answer and taking a message, and firm kindness. We will train you for the specific tasks! Volunteers will answer the phone, do brief phone interviews to determine eligibility for entrance, and greet guests who come in the front door of the office.

Ideally, our team would fill the hours of 9-5, Monday thru Friday. I am happy to fill the team with different levels of time commitment. For example, if one volunteer is willing to come every day from 9-12 but one volunteer is willing to come one day a week from 3-5, all are welcome. I think 2 hours per week is probably the minimum commitment. I would also like to have a list of willing “substitutes” in the case of travel or an emergency.
