SafeHaven needs computer volunteers
One local organization provides a center for adults to participate in
educational, social and vocational support. Since it is a
consumer-operated center, the program needs the help of volunteers to
provide their services to adults in the community.
SafeHaven, Inc. is looking for a few volunteers to do computer work for
the organization. Volunteers would assist with keeping computers
updated, updating the organization’s Web site, computer programming and
any other IT support as needed. Computers are used by the
organization’s members for education, GED classes, vocational
assistance, inspiration and more. Volunteers must be older than 18
years and have previous IT experience. Students in an Information
Technology program at a college or technical school who are looking for
related experience would be appreciated as well. The schedule is
flexible, and volunteers may serve a weekly shift between 11:30 a.m.
and 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday. The organization also provides a free
lunch daily for staff members and volunteers.
“This volunteer work impacts hundreds of individuals in our community
with mental health needs,” says Doug Metcalfe, SafeHaven Executive
Director. “Volunteers in this position allow proper functioning of our
consumer and staff computers as well as allowing more time for staff to
work directly with our members.”
To learn more about this volunteer opportunity or other opportunities
