Job description

Are you passionate about ensuring every person is treated with dignity, respect, and compassion?

Do you believe in protecting the rights of those who may not be able to advocate for themselves?

Want to make a real difference — even with limited free time?

If so, Riverside’s Human Rights Committee may be the perfect opportunity for you!

Riverside Community Care, a community-based non-profit organization, is a leading provider of mental healthcare, developmental and brain injury services, early childhood and youth programs, addiction treatment, suicide education, trauma response, and more.

About the Human Rights Committee

The Human Rights Committee (HRC) is a group of dedicated volunteers who ensure that Riverside’s programs consistently uphold the rights and well-being of the individuals we serve.

Our members come from diverse backgrounds, including:

  • Legal, healthcare, or mental health professionals
  • Persons served by the Department of Mental Health or The Department of Developmental Services
  • Family members of persons served
  • Community members

What Committee Members Do

HRC volunteers help ensure that Riverside’s programs remain respectful, safe, and empowering for all.

Activities include:

  • Participating in one-hour virtual meetings every six weeks
  • Conducting 30–60 minute visits to program sites to ensure that individuals’ rights are respected and that living environments meet established quality standards.
  • Reviewing and providing guidance on Riverside's human rights policies and practices
  • Providing feedback and recommendations on various Riverside reports to strengthen Riverside’s commitment to person-centered care
  • Using email and Zoom comfortably for communication and virtual meetings

This is an unpaid volunteer role with an estimated commitment of 5–10 hours per month. Reliable transportation is required to travel to and from program locations.

What We Provide

No prior committee experience is required — we’ll provide a thorough orientation and ongoing education to help you understand our mission, standards, and practices.

Join us in making sure every person served at Riverside is empowered, heard, and supported.
