We are a growing mental health non-profit serving Long Beach and the surrounding areas. We are a 99% volunteer organization and as such many of our current volunteers are stretched thin and yet many people who want to volunteer are not being utilized because we lack the manpower to organize them.
That's where you come in. We need YOU to help us figure out how to help these people help us help other people. If you have experience in organizing, recruiting, managing, and mentoring volunteers please contact us.
This role is for someone who has empathy and respect for the population we serve, can work unsupervised, meet deadlines, speak with the public (possibly some public speaking), manage schedules, good communication skills, and a sense of humor. This role is for someone who wants to grow the organization, is dedicated and passionate.
*Family Members or Peers with a mental health condition highly encouraged to apply.
