The Recovery Engagement Center (REC) is a hub for resources
needed to sustain recovery. The center is filled with recovery coaches and
volunteers who have sincere compassion to help those who are trying to change
their lives out of addiction and/or alcoholism. They walk alongside clients to
build a support system and toolbox to live healthier and happier lives. The REC
provides peer recovery support, recovery coaching, AA and NA groups, access to
community resources, and other group support services. We also host events for
the recovery community.
The REC is currently recruiting volunteers to fill various
positions. We are open Monday-Friday and need volunteers to cover the front
desk. This position is the first point of contact for individuals seeking services.
Volunteers greet clients have them sign in, answer phones, and then assist
clients with the appropriate appointments and resources. We also have a Friday
lunch meal that we provide for the community and need volunteers to assist with
set-up, preparation, and clean-up. In warmer months, we also have a garden that
needs to be tended. Finally, we need volunteers to assist with various events
throughout the year including our popular Recovery Festival.
Volunteers should have the following qualities:
-Empathetic
-Have
an interest in assisting individuals in recovery
-Basic
computer skills
-Be
able to be punctual, dependable, and keep commitments.
