Description
Volunteer Community Advocate — Family Leadership Circles
Organization: The Arc of Iowa
Opportunity: Flexible, volunteer-led, statewide (Iowa) (virtual and in-person opportunities)
Help turn shared experiences into community action! The Arc of Iowa is looking for individuals affected by food allergies with disabilities, family members, caregivers, and community supporters to join our Family Leadership Circles.
Each Circle brings together people passionate about a specific issue affecting individuals with disabilities and their families. Volunteers connect with others, share resources, identify community needs, and work together to develop solutions.
Whether you can contribute a few hours each month or want to take on a larger leadership role, your participation can help create lasting change.
No previous advocacy experience is necessary. We value lived experience, fresh perspectives, and a willingness to work together.
Join us in building a statewide network where families find support, discover their voices, and become leaders in their communities.
Connect. Collaborate. Lead.
Express your interest today and help us build a more inclusive Iowa.

How to Volunteer for This Opportunity
A Relay, Not a Marathon
We know leadership feels heavy when you're already carrying the load of life for your family. We built FAAN to ensure the work stays light, empowering, and energizing.
- Two Hours a Month is Enough: We intentionally scope every role to fit a busy life.
- Built-in Sustainability: Fresh volunteers and support are always coming in so you never lead alone and won't burn out.
- One Piece, Done Well: We challenge members and leaders to focus narrowly on one scoped commitment at a time.
- A Solid Foundation: All work is backed by a supportive team and contributes to a repeatable blueprint for all of Iowa.
