Volunteer
Whether you want to volunteer for a short period of time, or come regularly for a longer period of time, Crossway has service-learning opportunities for you. Many of our volunteers have become employees or have gone on to careers in the areas they volunteered. Here are some of the many choices you have to get involved: -
We invite members from the business field to host a one-hour workshop on job readiness and business etiquette to our Family Leadership School students. Sample topics include: how to prepare for an interview, what employers look for in an employee, etiquette in a business environment, getting along with co-workers, career advancement. -
Provide information to Crossway Community staff about available entry level positions at your company, how your company advertises, what you are looking for in employees, average annual salary, benefits, etc. -
