Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity

Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity uses volunteers to help our receptionist answer and direct calls to staff. Front desk volunteers also help with small projects that come up throughout the day such as bulk mailing and filing.

Responsibilities

• Answering phones and directing calls
• General clerical duties
• Occasional bulk mailing projects

Volunteer Impact

Front desk volunteers have the unique and valuable opportunity to experience many aspects of Habitat’s organization. The volunteer may be the first person a potential homebuyer speaks with at Habitat, and can also help save our staff time by handling small projects that keep the organization running smoothly.

Skills

Prior phone and receptionist experience preferred. Volunteers should also be detail-oriented. Prior clerical and computer experience is also helpful.

Time Commitment

• 2–3 hours one day per week, or
• Called as needed, when seasonal projects arise, or when the front desk needs special coverage.

Training and Supervision
