If you answered YES to any of these questions, then we have a role for you at the Lakes Area Community Coalition. We are looking for community engagement volunteers for our organization.
Activies include:
Attendance at our monthly Board meetings on the 4th Monday of each month and/or Marketing Committee meetings in Walled Lake.
Community Outreach - communicate with local businesses, faith based organizations and other key stakeholders to help spread awareness about our coalition and the disease of addiction.
Attendance at various community outreach events including public informational forums, town hall meetings, school events and more.
Participation for activities is at each volunteer's discretion and based on availability. Any time volunteered is appreciated.
Currently we are looking for people to do data entry, engage the media and plan fund raising and other community events. We need grant writers, social media gurus and photographers too!
