Debt counseling volunteer
As a Debt Counseling Volunteer at Faircasso, you will mainly have contact with people in debt by phone and email. You identify their debts and any other social problems, explore together which form of debt assistance best fits their situation, motivate them to actually register for debt counseling, and then connect them to the right solution. After that, you stay in touch with both the client and the counselor to ensure the process continues. If things get stuck along the way, you step in again to get everything moving.
