Front desk volunteers needed to support our housing programs!

Calvary Women’s Services offers housing, health, employment and education programs that empower homeless women in Washington, DC to change their lives. Founded in 1983, our programs carry out our mission to offer "a safe, caring place for tonight; support, hope and change for tomorrow." To ensure everyone’s first impression of Calvary is a warm and welcoming one, we are intentional about the interactions our residents, staff and visitors have at front desk. Front Desk Volunteers help make this possible by covering weekday shifts at the desk to represent Calvary to the community.

Volunteers are needed Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 11:45am-3pm. During this time, they are responsible for answering the phone, welcoming Calvary visitors, and managing residents’ movement in and out of the building. Volunteers may be asked to help with administrative tasks that can be done in tandem with managing the front desk responsibilities. While we do not have a strict time commitment, we do appreciate volunteers who can commit to serving one shift a week.

Individuals bilingual in ASL or Spanish are strongly encouraged to reach out!
