Building Opportunities for Self-Sufficiency (BOSS) is an award-winning nonprofit that is dedicated to lifting people out of poverty, homelessness, past incarceration, and other crises, and helping them TURN THEIR LIVES AROUND! BOSS serves 6,000 people a year at programs in Berkeley, Oakland, San Leandro, and Hayward.
Our newest flagship program is the Wellness Empowerment & Resiliency Campus (WERC) located at 7200 Bancroft in Oakland at the Eastmont Town Center. This exciting resource hub will provide multiple services in a welcoming, caring, culturally relevant setting -- from eduation, training and employment to health/mental health and trauma recovery services to violence prevention/intervention and community healing activities.
We are looking for someone to help us at the reception desk, and provide a warm greeting to all guests! Tasks will be basic and easy to learn - answering the phone, welcoming guests and offering coffee or snacks, finding out who they are there to see, informing staff, and providing other clerical support.
Volunteers will be trained and fully supported by on-site staff - you will be part of an inspiring TEAM of people doing GOOD in the community, and changing lives!!
