We'll be representing the Center at a Vendor's table as well as offering free hearing screenings in our mobile unit.
Choose volunteer shifts: 8am-10:30am, 10:30am-12:30pm, or 8am-12:30pm (entire fair including setting up & packing)
Throughout the year, the Center participate in Health/Community fairs. Offering free hearing screenings, information materials, answer questions, marketing are some of the tasks we do at various fairs. Volunteers assist staff with conducting free hearing screenings at various community and corporate health/wellness fairs, governmental offices, various civic/service/professional organizations, and at private schools. Speech and hearing screenings are usually conducted during daytime hours on weekdays, with some Saturday community events held as well. The duration of most screening events is 2-5 hours.
These volunteers serve as "Speech & Hearing Ambassadors", advocating for better speech-language-hearing health awareness. Ambassadors receive training to assist staff with operating hearing screening equipment; they distribute educational materials at health fair events; and may serve on the agency’s Speakers Bureau.
Volunteers must be able to provide their own transportation to events.
If you are energized to serve others as one of our "Speech & Hearing Ambassadors" and help us at the Fair on August 2nd, just click on the 'Express Interest’ button below and we will be in touch with you shortly.
