Maryhurst Front Desk Volunteers Needed
Maryhurst is currently looking for volunteers to fill shifts covering the front desk duties. Responsibilities would include answering the phones, greeting visitors, and accepting packages. The shifts would be from 9-4. If there are enough volunteers, the shifts may be reduced. Training will be provided.
