About this Opportunity

Volunteers working with the GAPs program will help address the needs of refugee clients, providing support across various services, including social adjustment, healthcare navigation, and public benefits enrollment. Volunteers will assist with clerical tasks, community outreach, and organizing community resources. This role allows volunteers to interact directly with refugee families and assist with the general support needed for resettlement.

Example Tasks:

- Conduct remote outreach to recruit community partners and resources

- Assist with community resource coordination, including transportation and childcare

- Support social adjustment activities like helping clients access language training or social services

- Perform light administrative work, including data entry and document preparation.

Onboarding:

Interested volunteers can fill out an application at tinyurl.com/ECDCHMCvolunteerapp and will be contacted to complete a 30 minute orientation session. After completing orientation, volunteers will be connected with program managers and supervisors for scheduling.

Schedule:

We accept volunteers Monday - Friday from 8:30AM to 5:00PM. Schedules can be flexible depending on your needs.
