• Assist with distributing outreach materials (flyers, digital posts, handouts) using content provided by LYT.
• Represent LYT in a professional and mission-aligned manner at community events, sharing key messages about our services and how to connect with us.
• Attend occasional virtual or in-person check-ins, orientations, and trainings as scheduled.

• Basic comfort with technology (email, Google Workspace, simple spreadsheets or forms); training provided as needed.
• Ability to maintain confidentiality and follow LYT policies and procedures, including social media and privacy guidelines.

Boundaries and Expectations

• This role does not provide direct services or one-on-one care to youth; all work is focused on outreach, communication, and support tasks.
• Volunteers are required to accurately track and log their volunteer hours using LYT’s tracking process for each outreach activity and task.
• A brief weekly report summarizing hours served, activities completed, and any key follow-up needs must be submitted by the end of each week.
• Volunteers are expected to follow LYT’s safety, confidentiality, and communication policies at all times and to avoid taking or sharing images or personal details of youth without explicit organizational approval.

Impact of This Role

By helping LYT build strong community connections, the Community Outreach Volunteer plays a key part in making sure caregivers, youth, and partners know about available support, education, and resources. Your consistent presence and communication help expand LYT’s reach so more families can access culturally responsive hair, skin, and life skills support.
