“Volunteers needed”
Groups, clubs, organizations, events, schools, hospitals, attractions… will always need volunteers. Recently we’ve seen a noticeable upswing in the number of people looking for a place to volunteer and donate their time and services. Perhaps it was “Extreme” events right here at home, the state of the nation’s economy, even worldwide disasters or a combination of things, something has stirred the desire for more people to become more involved in community and help others. However, the desire to volunteer and the need for volunteers sometimes have a tough time connecting, until now, that is. The Chamber now has available to everyone who visits our website a “volunteer bank”, a place where the need for volunteers and volunteers can connect.

To enter or search the “volunteer bank” simply go to www.superiorchamber.org, choose the “Community Corner” then click on the quick link to “Volunteer Opportunities”.

Local groups, organizations and businesses alike are all welcome, free of charge, to post any volunteer opportunities that they may have, whether it is a one time opportunity during an event or an open-ended volunteer opportunity in any capacity. Keep in mind that volunteers come in all different ages and abilities, something that might not be the right fit for one person might be perfect for someone else so consider all possibilities as opportunities.

To those seeking volunteer options, if you don’t see something that interests you, check back often, once word spreads more and more opportunities will be posted.

From planting trees, pulling weeds, set-up/tear-down, greeting, filing, reading, mentoring, tutoring, to serving on a committee and everywhere in between, there is someone willing to lend a hand - don’t be afraid to ask for one.
