Volunteering
There are a number of opportunities to volunteer at Hand Up Network. Mentoring, Response Teams, Retail/warehouse and in some cases, Victim Services.
Volunteers are structured into 3 levels:
- Level 1 Volunteers require an advanced level of training for services that are program/topic specific. These roles could be key components of the Hand Up Network Response Assessment Process or Training where a specific skill or expertise is a pre-requisite for serving in the role (i.e. Mentoring).
- Level 2 Volunteers bring a specific professional level skill set that can be used in the delivery of a HUN program. Examples of these skills could be operating equipment such as a chainsaw, counseling, financial, healthcare, etc.
- Level 3 Volunteers are those available for any non-specific role such as sorting merchandise, driving a client to an appointment, helping maintain our service center, etc.
