    • Help set up, greet participants, and distribute materials
    • Present micro-lessons with provided scripts
    • Support a certified instructor during larger readiness training sessions
    • Encourage engagement and reinforce safety, dignity, and inclusion

    Ideal for You If You Are…

    • Friendly and comfortable with people
    • Reliable and punctual
    • Interested in community service, education, or public health
    • Age 18+
    • Willing to attend a short orientation (online or in person)

    What You’ll Gain

    • Hands-on service experience in your own community
    • Free CPR and First Aid training (non certification)
    • Leadership development and facilitation practice
    • Verified volunteer hours and references useful in resumes
    • Pathway to grow into a specialized volunteer role (tech, media, etc.)
