Volunteers are the lifeblood of our organization – they give our jobseekers unique perspectives on the real world of interviewing and help expose them to a variety of professionals with whom they are apt to encounter in the workplace. They are trainers, coaches, recruiters and lab assistants.  Most importantly, they help our staff build its capacity in serving our mission; and we are grateful for their gifts of time every day.

Largest Current Need

• Experienced Leaders within Human Resource & Manufacturing Industries: Given our current economy, the landscape of jobseekers has vastly evolved over the last year, to now include several individuals who have recently fallen victim to layoff, despite decades of accolades and experience. We actively seek volunteers who can help us find quality job leads for these individuals.

Administrative Support Roles

• Administrative/Office Support: Assist with projects as needed, including filing, data entry, preparation every two to four weeks to support our orientation process.

Jobseeker Support Roles

•  Business Writing Coach: Assist in building professional writing skills as it relates to email, thank you letters and cover letters with individuals who have varying levels of business writing competency.
• Job Search Assistant: Assist jobseekers with online applications, resumes and online job searching techniques/methods.
• Mock Interviewer : Conduct mock interviews with jobseekers and evaluate them based on their performance. Give them the sense of the rigor, stress and unexpectedness of a real-life interview, so they are all the more prepared when that opportunity arises.
