Step Up DC Job Lead Facilitator
Step Up DC, Calvary’s job placement program, connects eligible candidates in Calvary’s transitional and permanent housing programs to employers in the community. Through the program, women gain additional opportunities to support themselves by re-entering the workforce. The Step Up DC program is an imperative piece of Calvary’s comprehensive services offered in a resident’s journey towards financial independence and permanent housing. This volunteer opportunity, the Step Up DC Job Lead Facilitator, allows 3-4 participants to access the computers by logging them onto the machines, monitoring that the activities are appropriate and answering any questions that may arise in regards to best job searching practices and technology. If time allows, the Step Up DC Computer Lab Supervisor may be asked to do light administrative tasks that can be done in tandem to the supervision.
