Volunteer: Front Desk VolunteerWhy This Role Matters The front desk is often the first point of contact for people coming to Northside Neighborhood House for help. As a Front Desk Volunteer on our Stability team, you'll be the welcoming presence that sets the tone for a client's experience from the moment they walk in or call What You'll Do In this role, you'll answer phones and the front door, connect neighbors to the right staff and services, and help schedule appointments for people accessing our stability programs. You'll also play an important part in ensuring clients have what they need to qualify for services, which means paying attention to details and communicating clearly and kindly, even when a conversation is difficult.
