Here atFREE, we are preparing to roll out our Get Help App Phone Program (GHAPP), launching January of 2017. In preparation we are doing a pre-trial here in the Los Angeles area, and are looking for volunteers for our resource referral call center. The call center will be located on Pepperdine’s main campus here in Malibu. Duties will involve fielding calls from our program participants (resource referral) and helping our other staff members during down time. All participants will receive training developed by UCLA’s department of psychology.
For questions or more information contact Drew Bosque at drew.bosque@freereentry.org.
