WORK OR VOLUNTEER FOR LDAWE
Staff and volunteers play a valuable role in LDAWE programs and services. Many of the programs LDAWE provides require at least one staff and one volunteer in order to run. Volunteers are also sometimes required for general office duties or to help with special events such as conferences, workshops, fundraising events, etc…
All volunteers are required to fill out a Volunteer Application Form and must first meet with either the Executive Director or the Resource Manager prior to starting any volunteer position. If the staff or volunteer position is directly involved with clients then an up-to-date in-depth police clearance and references will be required.
