Volunteers play a vital role in the ministry of Metro CareRing. Metro CareRing volunteers counsel those in distress, greet clients requesting services and fill pantry orders based on clients' needs. In return, volunteers have the satisfaction of participating in a well-run organization that effectively and cheerfully assists people at their most difficult time. As a volunteer, you will also have the knowledge that you are helping those in need. |

Volunteer positions:
Volunteers are the heart of Metro CareRing's ministry and do most of the work of serving our clients. Most site volunteers give one day or evening a week; others work only half-days or biweekly. Volunteer shifts are available at Metro CareRing during client hours.

Counselors- Counselors evaluate client situations and needs, and often just listen.

Basic computer skills necesary. Bilingual (English-Spanish) a plus. |
| Front Desk Worker- Individuals who work at our desk greet clients, do basic client intake on the computer, answer phones, schedule appointments, and sort client mail.
