Intake volunteers call prospective clients (people in need who have reached out for help) and input their information into our intake form. They listen to clients’ stories, provide referrals, follow up for more information, and inform them of the type of help we can provide. Intake volunteering is Self Help's most challenging and rewarding volunteer job. No social work experience is needed, but interpersonal skills are very helpful. This is a remote opportunity and can be done from anywhere with just a phone and computer. We do thoroughly train each intake volunteer; for this reason, we request prospective intake volunteers be able to commit a few hours most weeks for at least a few months. Due to the nature of the work, this volunteer position unfortunately cannot be undertaken by minors or used to fulfill a court-mandated community service requirement.
