This opportunity is ideal for high school or college students, school-required volunteers, or individuals with afternoon availability during the summer who want to build professional skills while supporting a mission-driven organization.

Key Responsibilities

  • Greet community members and visitors with a friendly, professional presence
  • Support front desk staff during busy periods (check-ins, sign-ins, directions)
  • Help prepare and organize materials for summer programs and events
  • Answer basic questions and refer visitors to the appropriate staff member
  • Keep the front desk area and resource materials organized
  • Provide general office and administrative support as needed

Ideal For

  • Students on summer break seeking meaningful volunteer experience
  • Volunteers earning community service or school-required hours
  • Individuals interested in nonprofit operations, customer service, or community engagement

Skills & Experience Gained

  • Professional communication and customer service skills
  • Exposure to front-office operations in a nonprofit setting
  • Experience working in a bilingual, multicultural environment
  • Flexible, supportive volunteering experience with staff guidance
