Be the warm, welcoming face that children and families see when they walk through our doors. As a Front Desk Greeter at CARE House, you’ll help create a safe and friendly environment for those we serve.

Responsibilities include:

  • Greeting and welcoming visitors

  • Answering the door and directing guests to their appointments

  • Answering and transferring phone calls on our mainline, and occasionally sharing information about outside resources

  • Assisting with light office tasks at the front desk (like stuffing folders, data entry, or small projects)

This is a great opportunity for college students-it offers a chance to give back while still allowing time for quiet study during slower periods.

Current Need:
We’re also currently recruiting for a flex shift, meaning you’d fill in as needed when our regular volunteers are unavailable (mostly Tuesdays and Fridays). Perfect for someone with a flexible schedule who wants to make a meaningful impact!

About CARE House of Oakland County

Location:

44765 woodward Ave., Pontiac, MI 48341, US

Mission Statement

CARE House of Oakland County is a leading resource in the prevention of child abuse and neglect and the protection of children through advocacy, education, intervention, reseach and treament, in collaboration with the community.

Description

CARE House, aka Child Abuse and Neglect Council, was established 30 years ago by a collation of communities groups, including the prosecutor, police agencies, the Junior League of Birmngham to develop program to abate the growing issues of child abuse amd neglect. About 15 years ago the agency became an "child advocacy" center, where children alleged victimes of sexual or severe physical abuse or sexual assault are interviewed by a forensic interviewer while police, prosecutor, and protective services observe. The multi-discipline approach reduces the traumatization of children who have experienced these events.

CARE House presents various educational programs to the community in an effort to educate the community on its responsibility to protect children. Recently the agency added Stewards of Children program to its educational aspect.

Another program is our participation in the Healthy Start collaborative to provide support for new mothers for up to five years. We also hold parent education classes using the Nuuring Parent model.

In additional we are an affiliated program with National CASA to provide court advocacy for children under jurisdiction of the 6th Circuit Court Family Division for negelct and abuse .
