Volunteer

Thank you for your interest in our Volunteer Program at Life Transitions Center (LTC). Everyone at LTC wears many different hats, and as part of our volunteer network you will have the opportunity to become involved in various aspects of the organization.

After receiving your completed application, we will let you know when the next training will take place. Your volunteer orientation will include a tour and a Volunteer Training Manual which includes a list of available volunteer opportunities. Volunteers are essential to our missions. We look forward to welcoming you.

Below are some of the volunteer opportunities available to you at Life Transitions Center.

Administrative Support - are volunteers who assist with the administrative workings of the program, or help with City Campus events. These volunteers do everything from staffing the reception desk, answering telephones, and greeting members, to helping with mailings and setting up and assisting with pot luck dinners. Many City Campus volunteers help to plan and participate in fundraising and special events.

Workshop Volunteers - are volunteers who have an area of expertise that they wish to share with LTC members in a workshop, lecture, class or activity. For example: yoga, tai chi, meditation, art, book club, jewelry making, lectures about: how to talk to your doctor, insurance issues, and are facilitated by workshop volunteers. All of our workshops are self-skill oriented so that members learn the tools to help themselves. No soliciting of any kind is allowed.

Kids Kitchen Volunteers - work with children or teen members in our weekly Kids Kitchen workshops. A background check, and separate training, in addition to general volunteer training, is required for all volunteers working with children or teens.

Community Relations Volunteers - are volunteers who participate in community outreach activities. They distribute LTC materials, staff information tables at health fairs, and speak to groups on behalf of LTC. One of the most important things volunteers do for LTC is to spread information about LTC and its mission.
