General Volunteer Opportunities
Thank you for your interest in volunteer opportunites through the Down Syndrome Organization of Southern Nevada. Below is a list of ways that you can help us help our members.
Clerical: The office is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Help is needed with filing, answering phones, data input, etc. Volunteers are needed on regular basis to set schedules and help with the day to day operations of the office. Volunteers are needed on a call basis for mailings and during special events. There is an especially big need for data entry and mailings at the present time. Data entry requires individuals who are familiar with data input into Excel – mainly names, addresses, phone numbers and emails. Very little if any mathematical formula skills are required.
Events: The DSOSN currently holds five major fundraising events a year; the annual golf tournament; the Buddy Walk®; the Festival of Trees and Lights™, the Dimes for Downs school & youth campaign and the Circle of Friends Annual Pledge drive. Volunteers are needed prior to the events to serve on committees (planning), during the events (set-up, registration, supervision, etc.), and post event (clean-up, wrap-up, follow-up). Depending on the event, we are always in need of strong healthy individuals who can lift to help us load and unload – and trucks are needed as well. In addition to the major events, we also have 3rd party events, other fundraisers as well as community awareness events, and publicity campaigns.
General: These volunteers will do just about anything! Flexibility is a key factor.
Management: Volunteers are needed to chair committee activities and to develop ways and means to express our mission and vision statements.
Maintenance: Volunteers are needed to help with the overall appearance of the DSOSN—inside and out. There are numerous projects for a volunteer with carpentry skills. We have work to be done with the landscaping, painting (signage, windows, and interior/exterior), and general “housekeeping”.
If you have a special talent and/or the interest, we have a place for you.
Interns are also welcome. Please call the office at 648-1990 for further details.
