Social BridgerAt — Listos California, Social Bridging Project
The COVID-19 pandemic has limited volunteer opportunities; however, there are still ways to serve your community while observing social distancing. The Listos California Social Bridging Project offers a way to volunteer from home in order to reach some of California’s most vulnerable populations with public health and safety information. In 2020, Bridgers connected with over 70,000 vulnerable Californians to deliver life-saving state and local resources through wellness and disaster readiness phone calls. Bridgers make calls to Californians using easy to use phone banking tools. Bridgers have access to professionally prepared scripts and vetted reference materials and are supported by our skilled team with thorough training and have direct support during service. We invite you to join us in 2021 to do this critical work. The Social Bridging Project put together a video to answer your questions https://vimeo.com/480928097 Becoming a Bridger is simple, you can sign-up to begin onboarding today.
Community Engagement Skills
Training will be provided either live via zoom or pre-recorded. The training will focus around how to use the technology tools necessary to conduct social bridging calls, and also will help students understand the resource material they will be disseminating (community based referrals for food, housing etc)
All social bridging calls are made remotely. We protect the students privacy by masking their phone number.
Volunteers will be required to sign a non-disclosure agreement to participate in this opportunity.
