Opportunities From: VolunteerWNY

As an all-volunteer organization, we need volunteers to help us with fundraisers. Currently, we do three ongoing fundraisers:  a Mother's Day soy candle sale; a Christmas soy candle sale, and Delta Sonic car wash tickets.  We welcome volunteers who could help us reach a wider audience for these fundraisers. 

We also welcome volunteers interested in suggesting additional fundraisers and helping us organize and execute them.  You can do as much or as little as you like; we welcome all help with this task.

We have spoken to many area Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs (the complete list is at http://www.globalafricanvillage.org/events.html).  However, there may be many other groups looking for guest speakers.  Help Public Relations Director Sharon Green connect with those groups.  They could include social clubs, book clubs, Lions Clubs, Zonta Clubs, school groups, college classes, or Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops.

This volunteer opportunity could be as simple as providing suggestions and contact information, or it could involve researching WNY groups that need guest speakers.  It's up to you.

Help us connect with high school and college students, clubs, and groups needing to complete service hours. 

We have no office or staff; just three of us run Global African Village outside our full-time jobs in other fields.  This means that our time to research and make phone calls is rather limited. 

This volunteer opportunity involves researching and making outreach phone calls. You can do as much or as little as you'd like; we welcome any and all help with this task.

We have no office or staff.  Just three of us run Global African Village outside our full-time jobs in other fields, so our ability to do research and make daytime phone calls is limited.

You can devote as much or as little time to this volunteer opportunity as you'd like.  Any contacts you can make with area businesses willing to partner with us for a fundraiser would be most welcome.
