COVID-19 Policy: Masks are required for all staff, volunteers, and interns.
The Dandelion was developed out of a recognition that a great barrier to many of
Safelight clients becoming independent is their lack of the skills necessary to obtain and keep
employment. The goal of the Dandelion is to help some of Safelight’s clients achieve their
career goals through job training and ongoing support. Dandelion volunteers work together
with staff and interns in a variety of positions at the restaurant.
Volunteer duties are as follows:
* Must demonstrate strong communication skills
* Provide excellent customer service to patrons
* Front of house; greeting, seating, and ringing up customers
* Taking orders for tables, getting drinks, serving food
* Preparing areas for customers, parties, and other gatherings
* Helping with the back of the house duties: washing dishes, stocking food and
supplies, kitchen clean-up, etc.
