Volunteer Opportunites

 

Updated 9.15.23

Current help looking for: (Many things you can do right from home!)

Researchers from Home - We need quite a few volunteers to pick one or more they can follow for us and keep up with updates involving our state agencies such as the Ombudsman, Office on Aging, Ohio Department of Health, Health Fairs we could particpate at, and check around for information that we should be in the loop about! If everyone took just one thing to follow, we wouldn’t miss anything!

Flyers Designed from Home - If you have talents developing flyers for different events, we could use your help! This is done at your convenience periodically when we have an event coming up.

Grant Research and Writer from Home - This would require someone familiar with this process that could be a big help in moving our organization forward and not having to spend time as much on fundraisers. If we can’t get volunteers for the help we need, we could look for grants to help us hire the staff we need so the board can focus more on our mission!
