Do you want to help out? |
Volunteers are what makes the Sacaramento Walking Sticks go. There are no paid positions within the club, so all the organizing you see is completely, 100% the result of volunteer effort. Do you want to help but feel that you don't have enough experience? Don't worry, there's plenty of help and none of tasks are very difficult - they just take a little time. Contact anyone on the SWS Board with your questions. Please lend a hand by doing any or all from the list below: |
- Attend more events.
- Invite a friend to come along.
- Make helping out fun for you and everyone around you.
- Organize a new event.
- Help publicize an upcoming event.
- Answer questions at a health fair.
- Work the registration table.
- Be a "Point of Contact" (POC) for a Year Round Event.
- Run for office on the SWS Board.
- Help with the website.
