This position involves the most client contact MAC has to offer its volunteers. When clients come in for their appointments, they are seen by a MAC volunteer.
In short, the volunteer collects the paperwork and documents MAC staff asked the client to bring in, reviews the information, and brings it back to MAC staff. The staff member then gives the go-ahead for the Volunteer Client Interviewer to give the client assistance (i.e. rent, utilities, MARTA, food, ID, etc.) Or, the staff member will let the volunteer know what the documentation the client needs to bring in. Lastly, the Intake Interviewer asks the client if they have any other immediate needs as MAC may have information on various other community resources. The Client Interviewer serves as a listening ear for the client.
