Are you great at customer service or hospitality? We are seeking volunteers for our Covey Concierge role! Volunteers would answer the phone line, based at Covey Academy (707 A Street). We're looking to fill shifts of 8am-Noon and Noon-4pm, Monday-Friday. One volunteer is needed for each shift. Ideally, individuals would commit to a consistent weekly schedule. Volunteers would have access to a FAQ and a phone list, helping them know who to transfer phone calls to and how. We also would need volunteers who can be helpful and resourceful, even if they don't know the answer to a question or the question doesn't relate to something on the FAQ. Volunteers would take messages if someone wasn't available. There may be some down time during a shift and volunteers would be welcome to bring a book, knitting project, etc. Seeking a minimum 3-month commitment. This would be a huge lift for our staff, allowing more space and time to directly serve young people.
