AIDS WALK VOLUNTEERS

AIDS Walk Long Beach is the largest AIDS fundraising event in Long Beach. Men, women and children of all ages, races and backgrounds come together as a demonstration of unity in seeking to end the suffering caused by HIV/AIDS. Thousands of  volunteers and walkers will gather at The Pike at Rainbow Harbor on Saturday, June 21, 2008. The work, however, starts early in the year and volunteers are a critical component to the success of AIDS Walk Long Beach.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED

Our biggest needs are volunteers in the months proceeding AIDS Walk Long Beach.  While it does take a lot of preparation to plan, organize, develop marketing and advertising strategies, all volunteers are welcome.  Many future leaders in our community are mentored and developed through this organization.

Whether you prefer to collate mailings, chat with participants on the phone or encourage participants on their goals, or whether you're looking for a relaxing evening activity or a challenging project tailored to your skills, there is a place for everyone at the Foundation office. Please take the time to fill out the online volunteer form so we can contact you and find your ideal activity.

Currently we are looking for volunteers for all pre-event activities. In the month of May, we'll begin registering volunteers for the day of the Walk. Please let us know on the volunteer form if you'd like us to contact you.
