Resource Volunteers

Last updated: July 29, 2024

Clients sometimes need support with a variety of occasional requests or questions. For these requests, CVT asks resource volunteers to meet each need as it arises. For this reason, the time commitment for these special requests ranges from just one meeting to a longer-term relationship.

Note: CVT conducts background checks on all applicants. This will take about a week

Activities

  • Driving: occasionally a client may need a ride during weekday hours to meet CVT providers or other healthcare appointments.
  • Career counseling/ advice for a client interested in a volunteer’s profession.
  • Math tutoring to help a client to study for the GED test.
  • Personal finance tutoring or assistance with questions about bank accounts, credit cards, etc.
  • Nursing tutors to help a client who is studying for nursing-related programs.
  • Teaching knitting, sewing or other skills and crafts.
  • LGBTQ mentorship: introducing the client to LGBTQ resources in the community.
  • Help with moving: for volunteers who have access to a van or truck, help can be needed when a client moves or for transporting donated items to their homes.
  • Music teacher/resource: share your interest, connections or skills regarding music.
