Direct Service
Direct Service
Direct service is about hands-on involvement. Direct service can be one-time only projects, an on-going commitment, working with a group, working alone, working in a set location or moving from place to place. Some organizations are considered “direct service providers,” meaning their mission is to meet people’s immediate needs, such as food, shelter, clothing, or medical care. Direct service encompasses anything from sitting with the elderly in a nursing home to complicated technical work
We have several opportunities for direct service. If you would like to be informed of upcoming events please join our listserve and like us on facebook!
