Outreach Team: Center for Employment Traning

Save to Favorites

SOME’s Center for Employment Training (CET ), which provides a full-time pathway to certification in Building and Maintenance Services or Medical Administrative Assistantship, is seeking individuals and groups of volunteers to join its first-ever Community Outreach Team . The team is intended for those who can commit to regular service ( monthly at least, mostly during weekdays) until Oct. 31, 2018. The schedule will be determined once the Team is completely created

Volunteers may canvas communities around DC, and possibly in Virginia and Maryland, placing leaflets and talking with community members to spread the word about CET. Volunteers may also provide phone bank support, returning calls from prospective students, or help lead groups of one-time volunteers in any of the tasks just mentioned.

TEAM MEMBERS ARE EXPECTED TO

• Clearly articulate the details of CET's programs with its target population
• Travel easily and unsupervised in a small group (about 3 people) through neighborhoods
• Comfortably interact closely in-person and via telephone with many new people in a short period of time
• Represent SOME and CET in a professional manner
• Send professional quality follow-up emails
• Proficiently type notes from their phone calls into the correct fields in a computer database
• Maintain privacy and confidentiality standards with protected information
• Be extremely proficient with computers overall
• Be 18 or older. No exceptions.
