    Description

    Front Desk Greeter

    Be the warm, welcoming face that children and families see when they walk through our doors. As a Front Desk Greeter at CARE House, you’ll help create a safe and friendly environment for those we serve.

    Responsibilities include:

    • Greeting and welcoming visitors,
    • Answering the door and directing clients /guests to their appointments/meetings,
    • Answering and transferring phone calls on our mainline, and occasionally answering general inquiries or sharing information about outside resources, and
    • Assisting with light office tasks or special projects as needed.

    This is a great opportunity for college students -- it offers a chance to give back while still allowing time for quiet studying during slower periods.

    Current Need:

    We have a recurring opportunity available to serve on Tuesday afternoons from 12 - 2 PM. We’re also currently recruiting for a flex shift, meaning you’d fill in as needed when our regular volunteers are unavailable in self-scheduled shifts. This opportunity is perfect for someone with a flexible schedule who wants to make a meaningful impact but may not be able to make a consistent recurring commitment!

    Location

    On-site
    44765 Woodward Ave., Pontiac, Michigan, US
