The culture of the workplace is one where every volunteer is like family. However, due to COVID, we were communicating through emails, zoom, or conference calls. I think the pandemic gave a new perspective of how fragile life is and we treated each other with greater care and appreciation. The culture has always been focused on helping others, every now and again there might be a personality clash but at the end of the day it gets resolved and the focus goes back to where it belongs.
Since we are currently working from home the dress code could be pj’s, however, on the day when we go out to serve the community, the dress code is a vest that said “IRTC” Immigrants Responding to Crisis. If we are having an in-person meeting with a community leader, the police, or a politician which is rare these days we dress formally.
The typical workday is writing, editing, or designing and sending back and forth for approval.
