Oasis Childcare and Office Assistant

Save to Favorites

Childcare/Office volunteers provide a warm, welcoming presence to make clients feel comfortable when they enter our office. They take care of everyday tasks in the office such as greeting and directing visitors, answering phone calls, organizing documents, maintaining a clean and sanitary childcare space, and assisting with research projects and fundraising tasks.

When treatment requires, volunteers provide supervision for young children while their family members attend treatment or support groups. They create a safe, fun environment for children (infants through 12-years-old) and offer the positive role modeling and extra one-on-one attention that allows children to thrive.
