Berkeley Mutual Aid is seeking intake, matching, and administrative volunteers available for about 3-4 hours per week of ongoing volunteer work (performed remotely). The time can be broken up to fit your schedule. Here’s a description of the work:


Intake Volunteers:
Intake volunteers are the first people most folks talk with at Berkeley Mutual Aid and must be comfortable conversing by phone, asking questions, and documenting on Google Sheets. Fluency in another language highly desired!


Matching Volunteers:
Matchers connect requesters and volunteers to each other to form matched pairs of neighbors helping neighbors. Matching volunteers must be comfortable with Gmail and Google sheets. Fluency in another language highly desired!

Administrative Volunteers:
Administrative volunteers run a high volume inbox where inquiries come in on a daily basis and act as a "dispatch" to the other teams. Must be comfortable with Gmail, Google sheets,


Berkeley Mutual Aid matches lower-risk volunteers with the most pressing needs. This includes pairing lower-risk neighbors with higher-risk neighbors who need essential supplies (e.g., food, toiletries, and prescriptions), help navigating social services, or connecting to overcome social isolation. We live by the mutual aid model of "solidarity not charity."
