Front Desk Reception & Resource Connection
Thursday, July 16 2026
Rosewood’s Community Hub provides a consistent, welcoming space where community members can drop in for resources and services every week. Our Community Hub offers low-barrier access to core services like legal assistance, job resources, and general support through partnerships with organizations such as the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office, Free Geek, Oregon Health Care Plan, Trimet and Rosewood's Workforce Navigator, and Rosewood’s Resource Navigator.
Be the first smile neighbors see when they walk through our doors. As a front desk volunteer you will create a warm, inviting atmosphere, greet guests, check them in and guide them to the resources they need. Along the way you may pitch in with light support tasks that keep the hub running smoothly. These vary from week to week and can include preparing diapers for distribution, helping the food pantry team, or organizing and restocking resource materials. This role is all about connection and is perfect for someone who believes in the power of community.
Volunteer shifts are 2.5 hours long (the morning shift is 2.75 hours). Feel free to sign up for more than one shift if you would like to join us for a full day!
Kick off the day by setting the stage for connection. You will greet neighbors with a smile and help them sign in, then guide them to resources like the food pantry, diaper service, or visiting partner tables. Morning volunteers also help us get the hub ready for the day making coffee for the community members, prepping the check-in tablets, or helping a visiting nonprofit partner set up. Coffee, tea, cocoa, plenty of water and snacks are on us.

Afternoon Shift
Help us finish the day strong and send our neighbors off with the same warmth they felt when they arrived. You will greet guests, help with check-in and resource connections, then pitch in with end-of-day tasks such as locking up the check-in tablets, giving the front desk and lobby a light refresh, and making sure everything is ready for tomorrow. Coffee, tea, cocoa, plenty of water and snacks will still be waiting for you.
