About

Centro SOL is seeking Spanish-speaking volunteers to support youth and their families with completing applications to Baltimore City's YouthWorks program.  YouthWorks connects Baltimore City youth with summer employment opportunities that allow them to contribute to their family's income while gaining professional skills and valuable work experience.  Due to COVID, this year's application process is entirely on-line and new both to YouthWorks staff and to youth and families, even if they have participated in the past.

If you speak Spanish and know how to share your screen and coach someone else on how to share theirs in Zoom, we need your help to remove application barriers for Centro SOL youth by coaching them through the steps needed to submit their YouthWorks application.  You will explain each step as you go and help youth and families problem-solve issues as they arise (for example, forgot my password, missing documents, etc.)  Training will be provided, and you will be able to escalate any questions you cannot answer to Centro SOL Program Coordinators.

Schedule:
  • 9:00-9:45AM - Volunteer training on the YouthWorks process and application steps, how to respond to frequently asked questions from clients, how to escalate questions you don't know the answer to, technology tips and tricks
  • 9:45-10:00AM - Coffee / restroom break, final review of your training materials
  • 10:00AM-12:00PM - Zoom will be opened to youth and families.  Volunteers will be assigned to individual youth and their families, on a first-come/first-serve basis, and sent to a breakout room to assist their client with the YouthWorks application.  Volunteers who finish their breakout room session before 12:00PM will return to the main room to be assigned to another client.
