Project Genesis is an anti-poverty group that helps on an individual level to improve people’s financial situation. Volunteers are an active part of the organization.

Project Genesis provides is looking for volunteers and provides all of the training. The commitment is four hours a week, and they could be involved in the storefront or outreach programs. At the storefront, volunteers meet with clients and provide infor­mation on welfare, pensions, shelter allowance, family allowances, and advocate for decent housing conditions. Community orga­nizing volunteers could be involved in door-to-door outreach or have a kiosk in a metro station to tell people about Genesis services and campaigns.
