Individual Volunteer Opportunities
 - A volunter and Camper from Camp CONNECT 2006
Historically, volunteers have provided over 2,000 hours of work to Adoption Network Cleveland each year -- the equivalent of another full-time staff person! More importantly, volunteers bring a wide range of expertise, life experiences, and differing perspectives that immeasurably enriches the work that we do.
The positions listed are those activities with which we need ongoing assistance. Hours are flexible to volunteers' schedule. There also can be assignments designed around a volunteer’s special interests or skills.
All prospective volunteers must: a) Fill out an Info & Interest Form, b) Meet with the Outreach Coordinator, and c) Complete the required Volunteer Orientation before service.
Office Assistant
Like a variety of assignments? Are you detail oriented? What to keep your office skills sharp? We need you to assist staff with mailings, data entry, filing, phone calls, thank you letters, and other clerical tasks. Ability to use a PC and basic Microsoft software a plus. 2-4 hrs weekly/bi-weekly.
Childcare/Activity Assistant
We need volunteers to baby-sit on-site for families attending our evening and weekend programs. Volunteer must be over 18 years of age and be fingerprinted prior to service. 2-4 hrs once a week for a program series or monthly.
Special Events Assistant
Are you a party person? Love a crowd? Enjoy meeting new people? Then helping Adoption Network Cleveland as a Special Events Assistant is for you. These volunteers help staff and Special Events Committee, or just help on the day of the events, including the Creating Futures Benefit & Silent Auction, Lanes for Change 2009, off-site fundraisers, and the Annual Meeting. 2-6 hrs per event
Volunteer Consultant
Do you or your company have expertise or training tools that would be beneficial to our organization administratively? Volunteering this knowledge or providing a training is a great way to help us create a stronger infrastructure and develop our programs.
Search Manager
Have you completed a search or have experience in genological research? Search Managers are volunteers who assist Adoption Network Cleveland staff with providing search assistance to out of town searchers. New volunteers take on individual tasks to develop experience before being assigned a search case of their own. 2-10 hrs a month.
Baking Volunteer
Love to cook and bake and share it with others? We are always looking for volunteers to make and bring bakery in for programs, events, and volunteer days. Coordinator will call volunteer when needs arise. Attending orientation is not required for this position, but encouraged.
Newsletter Columnist(s)
Do you like to write or have a story to share? Adoption Network Cleveland is always looking for volunteers who would like to regularly write articles, or submit poetry, for the newsletter. Some ideas include reviews of adoption/foster care related literature or websites, "Support Tips," or personal essays related to your feelings or adoption experience.
Membership Assistant
The Development Department is in search of a volunteer to assist with member communications. Volunteer needs to be detail-oriented, able to work independently, and reliable. 2-6 hours a month.
