Mankato Area Crisis Nursery volunteers answer calls (from their homes) during non-business hours. Hours are based on volunteers' schedules. Our volunteers average 1 call per week. Volunteers take incoming calls, listen non-judgmentally, gather data, share resource information &, when appropriate, arrange for placement with one of our foster / childcare providers or childcare centers. All contact between families & volunteers is via technology - normally phone, but sometimes text & e-mail.
Volunteers need:
- To understand & follow data privacy guidelines
- Professional boundaries
- Ability to pass a background check
- Smartphone
- A way to get completed forms to the family, provider & LSS (scan & e-mail, photo & text, etc.)
