Help prepare the C3 Newsletter for mailing!

Newsletter Team volunteers help with folding, assembling, stapling, labeling, and getting the newsletter ready to be mailed to the community and subscribers. A great option for those looking to help at the Center but who are unable to commit to a regularly scheduled volunteer position. 

Newsletter assembly happens once every two months, for one scheduled 3-4 hour session. Come join other volunteers in a safely socially distanced setting as we prepare the newsletter together.

Help build community awareness of all that C3 offers

Community outreach volunteers assist with outreach via tabling at events and flyer distribution around town. Volunteers can help run information tables at Parks & Recreation events, as well as other events like Farmer's Markets and Street Fairs. You'll connect with the public and help promote the volunteer program, C3 activities and classes, and share information on what C3 has to offer the community. Volunteers can also help promote special events and activities by distributing flyers to local businesses via our 'Street Team'. Routes are planned and can be walked, cycled or driven according to preference. 

This volunteer opportunity offers flexible scheduling, and training for tabling shifts is provided.

Skills: outgoing, strong customer service skills and the desire to learn about our programs and offerings.
