Second Chance Society is seeking a friendly, flexible Volunteer Office Assistant to help us carry out our daily activities and stay on track. Duties are varied and include answering phones, doing data entry, word processing, filing, assisting with special projects, and providing general all-around office support to our staff.
This is a great opportunity for someone who is passionate about being part of an organization that assists homeless and struggling individuals to get back to self-sufficiency. We would love to find someone who may also be interested in learning about our program to eventually work with our clients and even join us at outside community events, however, this is not a requirement at all.
We are a small, casual office with a small staff and are looking to build a really great, cohesive team!! We do great work in the community and your support would be highly appreciated. If this sounds like you, please reply to this post and we will reach out to you immediately. (Note: Hours are extremely flexible and jeans are perfect!).

To give a second chance to homeless and other struggling men and women by providing moral encouragement and removing material barriers to self-sufficiency.
The Second Chance Society is an integral member of the Continuum of Care for the homeless and struggling in Broward County, Florida.
Through the SCS Hand Up Program, Second Chance assists such persons in their quest to attain self-sufficiency by helping them to overcome material barriers to employment. This is accomplished by providing tools, uniforms, safety equipment, work clothes, licensure, medical exams or other goods or services that may be required of an employer as a precondition of employment. In cases of homeless or struggling individuals who are enrolled in vocational training leading to certification or competency in a viable trade, and who have no other resource to obtain textbooks and school supplies, Second Chance provides these. Clients are normally referred to Second Chance by partner agencies. Clients are never given money by Second Chance Society. Contact is maintained with Hand Up Program clients for at least a year after services are initially provided, and through these contacts SCS continues to provide clients with encouragement in their struggle to realize economic self-sufficiency.
