Opportunity

NextWave’s outreach specialists call people who may benefit from services or programs offered by our clients, usually non-profit organizations. Outreach specialists introduce the organization, discuss the opportunity, and help individuals take the next step. This may include collecting eligibility information, linking the individual directly with the philanthropic organization, or assisting them in signing up to learn more.

Our outreach specialists put their communications skills to work as they connect with people from across the country, all for a good cause.
