Free Wheelchair Mission (FWM) is a humanitarian, faith-based, non-profit organization based in Irvine, California, USA. Our mission is to "Transform lives through the gift of mobility to people with disabilities living in developing nations as motivated by Jesus Christ."
There are an estimated 80 million people around the world today in need of a wheelchair. We are focused and committed to being a leading provider of mobility in developing countries, but beyond placing a recipient in a wheelchair, we are bringing transformation that opens doors to education, employment opportunities, and community that these individuals only dreamed of before receiving the gift of mobility.
Free Wheelchair Mission is seeking a dedicated volunteer to assist with office and administrative tasks under the supervision of the Operations & Volunteer Manager.
Essential Duties & Responsibilities: The volunteer will follow the training, and written process and procedures to carry out tasks. Tasks will include:
Requirements: Volunteers must be able to work in person at our Free Wheelchair Mission offices located in Irvine, CA. They will be comfortable performing clerical tasks, possess basic computer skills (such as typing and data entry), and be able to meet certain physical demands, including lifting, pushing, or pulling items as needed.**
Time Commitment: We invite prospective volunteers to begin with an initial trial shift. This allows us to introduce you to our team and provide an overview of the work we do. Following a successful trial, volunteers are encouraged to commit to 3-5 hours*** per week of in-office support, based on their availability and our ongoing needs.
