Volunteer Work

Emergency Infant Services August 2017- Current


I have consistently volunteered for Emergency Infant Services since August 2017 as a Family Interviewer.


Family Interviewers meet one-on-one with families in crisis to identify their needs, connect them with other social service agencies in the Tulsa area that can help with long-term needs, and provide a safe, compassionate environment for our families to discuss their problems. The interviewers then help the clients complete necessary paperwork and gather up the needed items for them.
