Author Message   amiegoad Citizen Username: Amiegoad Post Number: 5 Registered: 2-2002 Posted on Wednesday, January 14, 2004 - 10:33 am:        Hi- I'm a local resident that is planning to go back to Nursing school in 2005. I'm interested in doing occasional (1x a week pref. evenings) volunteer work in the area related to health/health care. Can anyone direct me to organizations or people that might have ideas or opportunities?

They put it in there data base and when something is available they will contact you   Joan Citizen Username: Joancrystal Post Number: 2355 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Wednesday, January 14, 2004 - 5:38 pm:        If you have EMS training, I am certain that the First Aid Squad would be very interested in talking with you. They can always use more volunters.   Reflective Citizen Username: Reflective Post Number: 234 Registered: 3-2003 Posted on Wednesday, January 14, 2004 - 6:17 pm:        Aimee: Joan is correct, contact EMS, and I would also suggest directly contacting Kathy Levanthal, the newest Township Committee member. Kathy is a healthcare professional, but more importantly she started an outreach program in this area. If anyone can help you shortcut or network, she will. She should be familiar with a variety of volunteer programs you might be interested in. I would go to Town Hall and talk to Liz Fritzen (Township Clerk), who has also been involved in first aid programs in the past. She may have some ideas or leads you can pursue. Only as a formality would I suggest you fill out the form suggested by grw. You will get an immediate feel for opportunities from Kathy or Liz. Good Luck!   amiegoad Citizen Username: Amiegoad Post Number: 6 Registered: 2-2002 Posted on Monday, February 2, 2004 - 3:43 pm:        Thanks for the ideas - especially Reflective's. I will make a couple of calls to Kathy and Liz and see what I can find out.
