Become a volunteer
Make a difference!
FACE has a reputation for empowering the Korean/Asian community and advocacy, providing resources and opportunities to the underprivileged and underserved. Our volunteer program offers a variety of opportunities depending on the volunteer’s availability, interest, and capacity.
Opportunities range from one-time service activities at events to more ongoing, dedicated short term, long term, off-site, or pro-bono service opportunities. Volunteer opportunities are available for students at high school, college and graduate student levels for which they may also receive credits towards their academic units. In addition, professionals and non-students have also provided pro-bono services. Outreach is another important role of our volunteers. Outreach is done by volunteers in the form of identifying and referring potential recipients of our services. One-time volunteer opportunities at our events include translating, ushering, registration, photography, videotaping, set up, security, and other related services. Off-site opportunities include translation work of collateral materials to design and development of promotional materials.
Other opportunities include providing administrative and office support such as: answering calls, receiving and directing visitors, and data entry.
