Los Angeles Public Library is recruiting Veterans' Benefits Coaches who will help veterans and their families get connected to the benefits and services they have earned through military service.
Help us combat homelessness and unemployment amongst veterans, aid in their access to healthcare, and increase their enrollment in higher education!
Are you able to come to Central Library in Downtown from 11am to 3pm on Wednesdays and/or Saturdays starting in June? Are you patient and empathetic? Are you familiar with military life and veterans' issues? Are you a veteran yourself? Are you a problem solver and a good listener?
If all of the above describes you, then please consider this volunteer opportunity. You can also find out more about this initiative by following this link: http://calibrariesforveterans.org/volunteers.html
Thank you for your time!
