Opportunities From: Catholic Charities Galveston - Houston

Front Desk Assistants are the welcoming face of the Mamie George Community Center.

Volunteer Assistants greet and direct visitors, answer and transfer phone calls, provide program and event information to clients, assist clients with intake into certain programs as well as filing and other administrative tasks as needed.

We are seeking Front Desk Assistants who are friendly, patient, professional, and culturally sensitive. They must possess good communication skills, including the ability to speak and write clear English. The ability to speak and write Spanish also is preferred, but not necessary.

Do you enjoy talking with people and helping to create community? As a volunteer Greeter in Patty's Café, you can do just that by greeting senior adults and monitoring the check-in system

We are looking for friendly volunteers who enjoy working in a restaurant or café environment.

 

Pre-Service Training

PLEASE READ before your shift!

 

When you enter the center, please check in on the tablet by the front door with you name/email/phone number to get credit for your volunteer hours. You will checkout at the end of your shift as well. You don't need to stop at the front-desk, you can proceed to the Patty's Café at the end of the hall, past the bathrooms.

 

You will ensure that seniors check in when they come to eat lunch. You will stand at the touch screen computer and ask seniors to check in, either by scanning their cards with the barcode reader or typing in their name and phone number (some seniors may need assistance).

If they successfully check in, they should see a screen with various activities that they can "check" to show that they participated. They must "check" Patty's Café if they are eating lunch in the cafeteria.

If a message appears saying their account is locked, please refer them to the front desk to fill out some paperwork before eating lunch.

Thank you for being a positive and uplifting part of the volunteer team!
