first impression to whoever comes through our doors and/or calls the agency. In

and life situations. You will have face-to-face and telephone contact with clients
from FFS’s Transitional Housing Programs, Harold’s Help Desk Clients, Donors,
Community Partners and potential Volunteers. When representing FFS, Interns
should always demonstrate professionalism, compassion, and understanding. People
walk-in and call FFS for a number of reasons, therefore it is also the responsibility
