Administrative Assistant Volunteer

Save to Favorites

MY TURN, Inc. (a non-profit organization) seeks self-motivated and compassionate volunteers to assist adult education students. Candidates from all academic backgrounds are encouraged to apply, however, there is a strong need for math and English language tutors. We also have a need for volunteers to complete administrative assistant tasks and clean the classroom. Volunteer candidates should:

• Submit a resume. (A short work history should not discourage your application.)
• Complete a criminal background check. (Paid for by MY TURN. Not all records are disqualifying. Results are kept confidential.)
• Be able to commit to volunteer several hours per week for a least a period equivalent to at least one semester. (We are also open during the summer term.)
• Communicate with the Volunteer Coordinator about scheduling needs.
• Meet students at the MY TURN office or another public place with prior arrangement and agree to never meet at private residences.
• Keep attendance records and report these regularly to the Volunteer Coordinator.
• Maintain a professional relationship with students.
• Communicate concerns to the Volunteer Coordinator as soon as possible.

• Use the student database to conduct brief follow-up interviews by telephone, text, email, or survey.
• Communicate only with MY TURN equipment and not use personal phones or email addresses.
• Regular maintenance in an office/classroom environment, including wiping down tables and organizing bookshelves.
• Building and maintaining rapport with students, which may include reaching out to students via telephone.
• Assist with graduation activities.
• Filing papers.
• Meeting times can vary and be arranged. There are options to meet with students off site, however, these must be documents and always be in a public place, such as a public library, coffee shop, or restaurant. Volunteers are never permitted to meet in private residences under any circumstances
• Commit to keeping student information confidential in compliance with state and federal laws.
