Dates Volunteer is Needed:
Monday through Friday 8-5 on an ongoing basis
Description of the Volunteer Opportunity:
You’ll answer calls and questions and help people complete a benefits check-up, which is an easy to use, computer-based form. You can be a part of helping people across New Mexico enroll in vital benefits programs.
To volunteer, you must be able to answer calls pleasantly, following a basic script, and perform administrative tasks like printing and faxing. Typing, to complete computer forms and other data entry tasks, is required. Training will be provided. You must be able to speak clearly and hear well on the phone. Spanish speaking is a plus but not required.
Who Will Be Impacted Through This Project:
New Mexico is one of the poorest states in the nation, yet our participation rate in benefit programs is lower than many others. As a volunteer at Adelante’s Benefits Connection Center, you can help Seniors and people with disabilities find out what benefits they are eligible to receive.
