They need to be bi-lingual in English and Chinese.

Time commitment:

  • Attend Crossroads for two days of ‘on the job training’. Training includes:
    • reviewing offers of donated goods alongside our team

The main requirement is not for a certain time commitment but, rather, a commitment to ensure that each donation case the volunteer handles is carried through to a satisfactory conclusion.
