Join our Job Search Assistance Team today! As a Job Search Support Volunteer, you'll play a vital role in assisting individuals in their job search journey. Provide guidance, support, and practical assistance to help them navigate the complexities of finding employment.

Training is provided and required. Volunteers are most satisfied in this position if they naturally have patience, practice a positive and resilient mindset, hold a non-judgmental view, and can maintain boundaries. Volunteers who possess these attributes, but lack knowledge about the job market, can learn about the job market through our training.
