Volunteer Descriptions

We need dedicated people to help with Foundation projects.

Volunteers need to be at least 14 years of age.

Advocacy: 
Meet with state and federal legislators to ensure that funding is provided for research and educational programs.

Office Support: 
Answer telephones, prepare mailings and possibly some data entry.

Publicity/Public Relations: 
Be willing to tell your story about living with lupus. Contact local community newspapers to request coverage of chapter fund-raising events and educational programs.

Educational Programs: 
Share your expertise as a health care professional, social worker or lawyer to provide information to assist those living with lupus.

Health Fairs:
We receive many requests from local churches, universities and hospitals to distribute information about lupus. Most of these requests take place during the spring and summer months.

Community Outreach: 
Volunteers to contact potential partners by telephone and mail. (e.g. sorority, businesses, civic groups, etc.)

Outreach to High Risk Groups:
One of our concerns is increasing awareness within high-risk groups, specifically, African-Americans, Asian and Hispanic communities. The volunteers should be willing to contact church and community groups, distribute literature and arrange for our speakers to address their meetings.

Support Group Facilitators:
Must be at least 21 years of age. Facilitators will receive training. Support Groups meet once a month. Most groups do not meet in Jan., Feb, July and August.

Self-Help Course Leader: 
Must be at least 21 years of age. Leaders are required to complete a formal training program.
