Dedicated to the progress and advancement of all paralegals.
Thanks for your interest in volunteering at Community Health Care Advocates!
Volunteers go through an intensive training where they are taught the basics of health insurance, both public and private. Volunteers are also taught how to handle cases. By the time a volunteer is taking their first call, they are armed with lots of information! Volunteers are never alone; they are always supported by the volunteer manager, who works with the volunteers to solve the cases that come in.
The helpline operates from 9-5, Monday-Friday. CHA is seeking volunteers who can give an 8 hour weekly commitment, either as two 4 hour helpline shifts, one 8 hour helpline shift. We are flexible on the scheduling, as long as you mostly stick to the schedule we decide upon. We ask the volunteers be prepared to volunteer with us for a minimum of 6 months.
TRAINING DATES & TIME:
June 13, 2011, June 14, 2011 and June 15, 2011 from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM (Volunteers to attend all three training dates.)
