Volunteer Opportunities

 


Come Join Us at the Volunteer Fair!!!

Thursday, January 11, 2007
6 - 8 pm
Pyramid Brewery, Portland, Oregon

Please RSVP to the ASTD office by January 8, 2007.

 

Want to get started? Don't know what you want to volunteer for? Have a great idea for volunteering? Want to meet and connect with other members?

Then you'll want to be a part of our first ever Volunteer Fair. Board members will be on hand to discuss their individual areas and provide you with specific information on all their volunteer needs.

Food provided and beverages will be available. Lots of giveaways (candy-filled mugs, free memberships, program discounts and more!) and ways to meet other professionals.

In the spirit of giving back to the community, be sure to also bring a can of food for the Oregon Food Bank.

Listed below is just a sample of some of the activities where we can use your help. In some cases, volunteers receive free admission to programs or other discounts. And, we gladly accept non-members as volunteers!

So, come to the fair and get involved! If you can't make this event, feel free to contact Kelly Orehovec, VP of Human Resources, for further information.
