Volunteers

Looking for a way to try out some new skills to build your resume? Want to meet new people? Need to feel you are doing things that make a difference? Any of these and many more are reasons that our members volunteer. We tailor the volunteer experience and commitment to your needs. Here are some ideas to get you started thinking about the perfect role for you!

• Serve on a committee.

  Committees include Public Relations (these folks oversee the newsletter and Web site), Membership (keeps our base of support strong and growing), Community Outreach (they put on educational and fun programs like the Essay Contest, Lakefest and programs on current issues), Finance and Development (explores grant possibilities and oversees our spending), Nominating (makes sure we have a dynamic Board of Directors) and Issues (keep us focused on what's most important).

• Distribute newsletters to public places in your area.

• Be on call to help with large mailings or other office work.

• Work on special projects such as taking photos for a slide show or upgrading our display.

• Become trained to teach hands-on lessons to school youth.

• Staff a display booth for the Network at public events in your area.

• Serve as a volunteer coordinator to help build and support our great pool of volunteers.
