Volunteers are the cornerstone of ECCO's
ability to serve our neighbors. They make up a true cross section of the community...
retirees, working professionals, students,
scouts, church youth and other organizations.

There are various opportunities to serve at
ECCO - from positions that bring you in
direct contact with clients, to helping
support our golf tournament or other
fund-raising activities. All are important to advancing the mission of our organization.

There are no restrictions as to the days or
number of shifts a volunteer can serve. Interviewers receive additional training and are asked to attend periodic workshops to learn and exchange information.

We are open for client services from 10-4 Monday thru Friday and our "shifts" for volunteers are generally 10-1 or 1-4.

Primary volunteer positions are as follows:

Client Interviewer

ECCO to ascertain their situation and needs

clients needs

East Cooper Community Outreach (ECCO) is
seeking individuals who could be a good
neighbor in our medical, dental, and
counseling areas.

Volunteers for ECCO's Medical Program -
Doctors to supervise medical students. Last
week, 30 people were seeking medical care and
only 6 were seen due to the lack of volunteer
physicians.

Volunteers for ECCO's Dental Program -
Dentists are needed to work in the evening
emergency clinic to extract abscessed teeth.
We are turning people in pain away! The
Dental Clinic also needs office assistance so
anyone with experience in a medical or dental
office would be a great help.

Volunteers for interviewing and counseling
families and individuals who are in
distressed situations.

Volunteers for mentoring people who desire to
change their standard of living.
