FACHIC is in search of volunteers with social work or casework backgrounds as well as social work students to help establish and run regular social work clinics in the community.  While the majority of our organization has a Filipino background, we are looking for volunteers with a general interest in working with a moderately sized community within an urban and suburban environment encountering issues such as access to housing, medical care, entitlements, counseling, and family support.  All volunteers will be coordinated and supervised by an LCSW.

Please do not hesitate to contact us or pass along our information to any contacts who may be interested and we would be happy to answer any questions that you or they may have. The FACHIC social worker, Sam del Rosario, LCSW, can be reached by email at swreferral @fachic.org or by phone at 312.962.7748.
