-
VOLUNTEERS TO STAFF BOOTHS AT COMMUNITY EVENTS. These are great opportunities for the community to become familiar with the NAMI name and what the organization does. These events give us the chance to distribute our informational literature/brochures on mental illness as well as information on the education courses we offer and our monthly meetings.
-
VOLUNTEERS TO TRAIN AS INSTRUCTORS FOR NAMI SIGNATURE EDUCATION COURSES AND FACILITATORS FOR SUPPORT GROUPS. We are in need of more instructors in order to continue to offer our education courses, hopefully even offering them more often. We are also in need facilitators for both Care & Share and NAMI Connection support groups. All training is provided by NAMI Iowa at various locations in the state as available. Training takes place on weekends and all expenses are paid by NAMI Dubuque.
-
VOLUNTEERS TO STAFF OFFICE HOURS. The NAMI Dubuque office is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Volunteers answer the telephone, assist visitors to the office, and perform small office tasks. Our volunteer staff has dropped from the original 17 people to only 6 people currently, so we need your help!
-
VOLUNTEERS TO JOIN THE NAMI DUBUQUE BOARD OF DIRECTORS: We are always looking for interested persons to join the NAMI Dubuque Board of Directors.
Again, we are truly in need of volunteers in order to remain a voice for those in the Dubuque community with mental illness and their families. There is much work yet to be done. Please fill out the volunteer form or call 563-557-6264 with any questions.
