Join the Fun! Volunteer to help us spread the joy!
A Fun Volunteer Project - Here is How It Works
We are always looking for local volunteers in 3 categories:
- Distribution Coordinators – follows up with hospitals and facilities to encourage them to sign up to receive cards.
- Web Promotion – keeping our site fresh and getting the word out.
- School and Community Coordinators – follows up to encourage schools, clubs, scouts, faith-based groups to sign up to draw Valentines.
The students are happy because they shared some love. The teachers are happy because they taught a valuable lesson. The people who receive the cards are VERY happy. Everyone is happy!
Who should sign up as a volunteer?
If you fit into one of these categories, you are perfect!
An organized, responsible person
with some time on your hands to do something good for people
A retired (or not!)
school teacher or professional, who has a knack for encouraging participation and following up.
A student
who is involved in school government, club, or society looking for a meaningful activity for the group or could use some volunteer hours.
Activist, professional
A current or aspiring politician, philanthropist, servicemember, outsider, pet-lover, or truant
Any particular skills required?
You will be working on the computer. Emails, follow-up, and research (looking for information in Google like names of schools, trying to find contacts within the schools, finding PTA’s, or hospitals, etc.).
You’ll be entering the information onto an Excel or Google Sheet, which is easy.
You will be tracking to follow up.
It would be great if you were outgoing and could get some local press. We have found that that helps get the word out to schools and hospitals to make sign-up easier.
Three Special Volunteer Positions To Fill
We are looking for enthusiastic, organized volunteers for 3 categories:
- Social Media Coordinator – to keep our website fresh, post on Instagram, Snapchat, (and maybe Facebook), and configure emails. It would also help if you knew WordPress and HTML (this will look GREAT on your resume!)
- Help reaching out to schools and others for people to MAKE the Valentines.
- Reaching out to hospitals and others to help them sign up to RECEIVE Valentines.
One of these may be you!
