Volunteer for JDRF Northwest
Volunteers are the backbone of our organization. These dedicated individuals, organizations and companies give their time, energy and services to help us put an end to diabetes. We wouldn’t be so close to a cure without them! Our volunteers come from diverse backgrounds, bringing a wide range of skill sets and interests to JDRF. There are many ways you can get involved and make a difference:
- Help Out in the Office - We would love to have your office assistance with mailings, database updates, phone calls and more.
- Work at an Event - Pass out t-shirts or help set up Walk sites. Work behind the scenes at the Dream Gala. Each year JDRF needs hundreds of volunteers to make our special events a success!
- Serve on a Committee - Join our Community Outreach Program. Help plan our Dream Gala. Solicit items for our event auctions. Work on the Government Relations committee to assist with JDRF’s Promise to Remember Me campaign and Children’s Congress event.
- Become an Advocate - Advocates receive legislative updates and action alerts via e-mail, and typically are asked to contact their members of Congress by e-mail, phone calls or personal visits two to four times a year. We provide you with background information, “talking points,” and contact information for your elected officials. The power of these individual contacts, as quick and easy as they are, is enormous. Sign up to be a JDRF advocate today, or e-mail govrelationsNW@jdrf.org for more details.
- Donate Through Your Business - Make a gift of your printing or design services. Contribute your photography or public relations skills for our events. Donate a company product for our office– or an item for our live and silent auctions (new items please!) Make your restaurant, golf course, or other facility available at no charge for JDRF events. We’d love to hear your ideas!
