Put your support into action. Contra Costa needs volunteers to help staff Questionnaire Assistance Kiosks (QAK) in homeless service sites in Contra Costa in April to help ensure that people in our community experiencing homelessness are counted in the 2020 Census! WHAT IS A QAK?
QAKs are physical locations where people can access a computer to complete their Census questionnaire online or complete it by phone. WHAT WILL VOLUNTEERS DO?
QAK volunteers will be stationed at homeless service sites/events with a laptop computer to encourage people to fill out the form, give out incentives when someone completes their form and direct people to more information about the Census. Volunteers will receive training on how to complete these activities. WHEN IS THIS HAPPENING?
QAK shifts (typically 2-4 hours) will be available in multiple parts of the county and during daytime, evening and weekend hours in the month of April. WILL I GET TRAINED?
Yes, all volunteers will need to complete a short (30 minute) training before their shift.
