Service-Learning OpportunitiesAt — Catholic Charities of LA - OASIS [inactive]

Opportunity Summary 
  1. Friendly Visitors visit clients and help with shopping, running errands and perhaps organizing mail, and checking in on them by phone. Friendly Visitors are assigned to one person or a couple nearby so they can develop a friendship and trusting relationship.  Volunteers spend as little as 1 or 2 hours a week or as much time as they would like to give.  Our clients offer deep heartfelt thanks for their Friendly Visitors.
  2. Office Volunteers provide help once a week or regularly in contacting clients when needed, assisting in computer input, filing, and supporting the Client Resource Coordinators. 
  3. Handy persons volunteer their talent in doing light chores or repairs for clients who are no longer able to handle them.

The Catholic Charities of LA - OASIS is also interested in working directly with faculty from varied disciplines to build service-learning projects that support course outcomes.
