Brack Career Developmement Center - Volunteers Needed!

The Natick Service Council's "Brack Career Development Center" is seeking volunteers to support career development initiatives for NSC clients and Natick residents.  In particular, we're looking for professionals to consult clients (one on one or in group workshops) on resume development, job search techniques, interview skills, and how to "dress for success".

The Brack Center is a career development & learning center focused on Workforce Development for NSC clients and offers "Employer Services" to local MetroWest companies.

Volunteers with human resource, recruiting, or executive backgrounds are a great fit for this volunteer opportunity.

Interested candidates:  please contact Greg Tutuny, NSC Executive Director, at 508-655-1791, or gtutuny@natickservieccouncil.org

The Natick Service Council uses volunteers for many different activities throughout the year.  Some volunteer needs are daily, some are weekly and some are once a year.  There are also several volunteer opportunities that are on an as-needed basis.  Hopefully we have the perfect volunteer opportunity for you!
