Volunteer
If you're interested in volunteering some of your time with Safe Amp, email our communications officer at communication@safeamp.org and she'll tell you how you can help out. Let her know if there's anything specific you would like to do, and she'll keep you posted on any volunteer opportunities that may come up!
The following are easy volunteer jobs that anyone can do. Download a log sheet to keep track of your hours and then GO FOR IT!
- Come to one of our general meetings and sign up for a volunteer job that comes up at the meeting. (If you're trying to pay your membership fee with volunteer hours, attending a two hour meeting DOES count as volunteer time.)
- Join one of our committees or task forces and ask the chair how you can help.
- Spread the word about Safe Amp and why it's necessary. Get some pamphlets from our secretary or download the files and print them yourself. Give them to people you know or bring them to places where people go.
- Write a letter of support for Safe Amp. Your letter should explain in your own words why this project is important and what it means to you personally. If you consider yourself 'youth,' be sure to include your age. If you consider yourself 'a professional,' be sure to mention your position and use company letterhead if possible. We'll post all your letters on this website, and may use selected letters in grant applications or other relevant documents. Send all letters to communication@safeamp.org.
