Christmas Bureau is a program that provides food and gifts to families in need over the holiday season.
The Intake Volunteer Opportunity is an in-person volunteer opportunity. Volunteers will report to Johnston Community Center at 2021 SE Market St, Topeka KS to complete their volunteer shift.
For this volunteer opportunity individuals are responsible for meeting with individual clients to help process the Intake Form for Christmas Bureau. You will need to be able to verify all required documentation of every client and make sure that every Intake Form is legible and complete. You will also need to make sure clients are eligible by income verification to ensure we are serving those who need the help the most. Sometimes this means you will need to turn people away should their income exceed the 200% Federal Poverty level limit.
For this volunteer opportunity individuals are responsible for reading and entering individual or family information from intake forms into a secure digital database system. Individuals must be organized and able to read handwritten responses as well as work with computer programs to enter information into the computer-based system. Individuals must complete the confidentiality waiver before they can participate in this volunteer opportunity.
This volunteer opportunity is a trial run/test drive for completing both intake and data entry back to back. Ordinarily one group of volunteers would be completing intake, and another group would be completing data entry. This position requires a high degree of attention to detail.
Individuals must complete the confidentiality waiver before they can participate in this volunteer opportunity.
All Intake Volunteers will be required to complete a training to review the intake process, this training will be hybrid at the United Way Topeka office and via Zoom on Friday, 10/24 from 10-11:30 am.
All Data Entry volunteers will be required to complete an online training to volunteer for this position, scheduled for Monday, 10/27 at 10-11 am.
