Office Help Volunteers

We welcome office and general administration volunteers to help us at the Heart Touch Project office. You can help by regularly supporting our founder, Shawnee Isaac Smith, being assigned to a project or by being 'on call' to come and help when needed. We're always on the lookout for people who have some or all of the following skills: Database entry, MS Office, Great phone manner, and general office tasks (photocopying, sorting, filing, sorting mail, etc.). We provide clear instructions for projects/assignments and there is always someone nearby to answer questions or help. We don't expect our office volunteers to be experts, just willing to learn and commit to helping our team
