Individuals

Special Events

Assist PACE staff in organizing, planning and coordinating our three annual special events. These duties may include writing letters, making phone calls, taking tickets, ushering, or running general errands.

Workshop Assistant

Our workshops are the meat and potatoes of the organization for our clients. They teach and guide individuals to prepare for re-entering into the community and the workforce. Some of our workshops include: Resume Writing Workshop, Advancing Your Career Workshop, and Career Networking Group. As an assistant, you’ll be involved with helping clients either by assisting with resume building, teaching, or coaching clients. You could also be asked to present in various workshops so that clients can get a unique employer perspective.
This can be a one-time or recurring opportunity.

Volunteering by Fundraising

Want to help us raise funds within your circle without directly involving our agency? By fundraising on behalf of PACE, you help us earn funds our staff is both too busy and too small of a team to do on our own. If you and your friends are able to host an elegant home tour, a bowl-a-thon, or a garage sale, we can use your help!
