NAMI Northwoods is looking for dependable volunteers to help provide a welcoming presence in our office during daytime hours.
Office Support Volunteers help us expand access to resources and maintain consistent office hours for individuals and families seeking support.
Responsibilities may include:
- Greeting visitors and answering the office phone
- Providing basic information about NAMI Northwoods programs and support groups
- Sharing mental health resources and brochures
- Taking messages and helping connect people to the right staff person
- Light office tasks such as organizing materials or tidying common areas
Volunteers are not counselors, therapists, or crisis responders. Training and clear guidance are provided, including support for answering phones and helping connect individuals to resources.
We are looking for volunteers who are:
- Friendly and welcoming
- Dependable
- Comfortable interacting with the public
- Good listeners
- Comfortable maintaining confidentiality
This is a meaningful way to support mental health in our community while helping NAMI Northwoods remain accessible to individuals and families who need support.
