Volunteering with Adoption Network Cleveland
I am only one, but still I am one;
I cannot do everything, but still I can do something;
and because I cannot do everything,
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
-Edward Hale
Whatever your availability, skill set, or personal interests, Adoption Network Cleveland likely has a need that you could fill by becoming an Adoption Network Cleveland Volunteer. Since our founding in 1988, volunteers have played a critical role in program development, advocacy, fundraising, organizational oversight and direct service.
Some positions require a great deal of commitment, while others ask for little more than a few hours of your time. What qualifies you to become an Adoption Network Cleveland Volunteer is a willingness to serve and support those individuals and communities whose lives have been touched by adoption and foster care. Today, volunteers serve our organization by:
- providing leadership through serving on our Board of Directors
- serving as mentors for youth in foster care
- assisting other members in their searches
- speaking to the community at large to help others understand the realities of adoption
- planning and running fundraising events to keep our organization financially sound
- working on programs that respond to the needs of our members and the Cleveland community
- sharing thoughts, feelings, and experiences in our newsletter
- facilitating our General Meetings, month after month, to offer people a safe place to come to share and to listen
- participating in committee work that keeps us focused on our mission and the development of new services.
- assisting with special projects and working in our offices or behind the scenes to help make it all happen...and much more!
