If you’re finding this social isolation has given you more time on your hands or if you’ve always wondered what you can do to help the cause, now is the perfect time to consider volunteering for the Florida Action Committee!

We have a core group of board members and committee chairs who do the lion’s share of the work, but we need help! As our organization grows, so does the amount of work and the demands from our growing membership. When emergencies come up, such as case deadlines, Coronavirus or bills that require immediate calls to action, we need more hands on deck to pitch in.

The following are areas where we need volunteers:

MEMBERSHIP: Our Membership Committee is looking for “First Responders” from May until October to return calls to potential new members.  Must have access to computer or pair with someone that can assist you in receiving emails and completing FAC Membership applications online for each caller. Email [email protected] and include your name, phone number and hours that you are available.

LEGISLATIVE: Our Legislative Committee is looking for a volunteer who is, organized, able to read bills, assess how it effects our population, determine whether to support or oppose the bill, be willing to meet with legislators and discuss our issues and ake pointed arguments for new policy, ability to make strategic recommendations to our Board of Directors. We also need people in close proximity to Tallahassee. Email [email protected] if you are able to fill this role.

FUNDRAISING: We are currently without a fundraising chairperson. The ideal candidate would have experience in fundraising initiatives, grant writing and organizing a team of other volunteers to ensure dues and pledges are received. Email [email protected] if you are able to fill this role.

MEDIA:  We recently added a rock star to our Board. Sarah has done a wonderful job in Media and now that she has the messaging and direction of our media campaigns down pat, she needs more hands on deck to help prepare content, respond to online stories, write press releases, prepare letters and handle PR. Email [email protected] if you are able to fill this role.
