Shelter Operations Launches Customer Service Training

This month, Pine Street’s shelter operations team launched a new customer service training initiative. The course, which has been carefully developed over the last year and a half, teaches shelter staff important guest-facing skills, like effective communication, customer service best practices and more.

In addition to current Pine Street shelter trainings like trauma-informed care and motivational interviewing, the new initiative gives staff the tools they need to provide exceptional service to Pine Street’s shelter guests.
