AIDS Walk Portland 2013

Volunteer

Thank you for your interest in volunteering. AIDS Walk Portland is a welcoming, inclusive event. We encourage everyone to attend, especially those representing diverse communities of race, color, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, faith, age, national origin, citizenship status and physical or mental disability. It's a day for all of us to show support and increase awareness of the HIV/AIDS community.

Important Information

To sign up: Email Volunteer Coordinator Marc Kochanski at mkochanski@cascadeaids.org. Be sure to include your desired position. New volunteers must complete the One Time Volunteer Application; go to www.aidswalkportland.org and click the Volunteer link.

Volunteer Training (mandatory) is held at CAP, 208 SW Fifth Ave in the Pine Room on the first floor. Attend one or the other, not both:

Check In at the Walk: When you arrive at the Walk check in at the Volunteer booth at Pioneer Courthouse Square (except Tabulation volunteers).

Dress comfortably and dress for the weather – you’ll be standing on hard pavement. All Day of Event volunteers will get Volunteer t-shirts to be worn during the event.

Snacks (fruit, nutrition bars, etc.) will be provided.If you will need something more substantial, please bring something to eat.

Bring a refillable water container.To be kinder to our planet, bottled water will be limited.

Volunteer Shift Reminders will be sent two weeks prior to the event.

Physical Requirements: Nearly all positions require standing. Contact Marc with any individual needs.

Can I fundraise too?

Some volunteers want to register and raise money for AIDS Walk in addition to volunteering, which is wonderful! If you have a shift during the Walk, keep in mind that you don't have to actually do the Walk to register as a walker. Or, if you want to walk you could take a volunteer shift before or after, such as Set-up or Tear-down. Either way, go to the home page and join the "CAP Volunteers - Passion Into Action" team or start your own team with friends or family. Thank you so much for supporting Cascade AIDS Project.

Thank you,
