We are looking for motivated and engaging individuals who have relevant experience, or are willing to gain relevant experience, in Human Resources and are capable of conducting Orientation sessions for individuals who are interested in volunteering or working with our mental health organization. As the Orientation Session Facilitator, you will be critical in welcoming and educating potential volunteers and staff members about our organization's mission, values, and services.

We already have set systems and templates to follow (orientation slides, surveys, task lists, and tasks), which we will train facilitators in. Facilitators should ensure that the sessions they host are engaging, especially since they are virtual!
