FAST (Financial Assistance Service Team) Volunteer
FAST (Financial Assistance Service Team) Volunteer will work with financial assistance referrals from Coordinated Services Planning (CSP). CSP is the overarching Fairfax County agency which funnels requests from clients to the appropriate governmental and non-governmental services. CSP social workers professionally screen clients for eligibility. Once eligibility and amounts have been determined, the FAST volunteer will enter referrals into our database, Civi, and complete administrative tasks related to funding the financial assistance grants, including the necessary communications and database management.
The volunteer will handle entering referrals we grant assistance for on a designated day of the week from Monday through Friday, 10 –2 PM. We are looking for someone with availability on Mondays or Wednesdays. FAST volunteers must be available 2-4 days a month. Training will be completed in person. Once trained, volunteers can complete duties remotely or at our Fairfax office location.
