Empower women on their job search - facilitate employment skills classes!

Step Up DC (SUDC), Calvary Women’s Services' job placement program, assists women in Calvary’s housing programs in gaining employment and financial security. The SUDC program is an imperative piece of Calvary’s comprehensive services offered in a resident’s journey towards financial independence and permanent housing. SUDC participants have secured jobs in different fields, including IT support, retail, security, hospitality, administration, and healthcare.

This volunteer opportunity, the Step Up DC (SUDC) Facilitator, leads a 1 hour class (classes available Monday through Thursday) covering skills/topics such as:

• resume writing/assistance
• assisting clients with applying for jobs
• preparing for interviews
• mock interviewing

SUDC classes typically take place during business hours (between 10AM - 2PM), with a volunteer committing to facilitating one class a week. The SUDC Facilitator works in tandem with Calvary's Workforce Development Manager to review the session's pre-set curriculum and prepare materials. Our Workforce Development Manager will ensure that the volunteer is ready and prepared to host classes and will be available for assistance and feedback.

Interested people are encouraged to submit a volunteer application and our electronic volunteer policies. Calvary staff will reach out to schedule an introductory call to share more information and answer any questions!
