Internships and Opportunities

UNHP Volunteers

UNHP (University Neighborhood Housing Program) is looking for volunteers this spring! We have the capacity for 8-10 volunteers to remotely answer phones at the resource center. Volunteers will screen callers, share financial help or rent relief information, apply for affordable housing lotteries, help clients schedule tax prep appointments at other institutions, etc. We are also looking for past tax prep volunteers to help answer questions for tech-savvy clients as they file their own taxes with an FSA link. New and old volunteers can get information and a refresh on UNHP at either of our two trainings: Wednesday, January 26 at 4:00 pm (register here) and Tuesday, February 8 at 1:00 pm (register here).
