CHICAGO — As the city's vaccination effort ramps up, the Community Organized Relief Effort is looking to hire 100 full-time support staff.

CORE, a nonprofit organization co-founded by Sean Penn, is on the hunt for additional full-time operational staff to work at vaccination sites assisting with patient registration, check-in, managing traffic and lines, and ultimately supporting the provision of free COVID-19 vaccinations.

Applications are available online. Some jobs are set to begin as soon as next week.
