Volunteer Your Time to Nevus Outreach

Volunteers enrich the effectiveness of Nevus Outreach, and there are a variety of opportunities to support our mission with a generous gift of your time.

Grassroots Beginnings

In its early years, Nevus Outreach was a grass roots organization run entirely by volunteers. Together we accomplished some amazing things. We have coordinated the construction of the Nevus Quilt, organized an International Conference on Nevi, provided educational literature, an online community where people with large nevi could interact, and offered support to those in need.

Although the organization now has a small permanent staff, Nevus Outreach remains good custodians of its funds by using volunteers whenever possible. We are still a grassroots organization.

If you have an interest in any of the areas listed on this page, or have another idea about where you can serve Nevus Outreach, please contact Volunteer Coordinator Megan Fields at .

Volunteer Opportunities

Nevus Outreach Conference Volunteers

Although it may seem like a long way away, we are already making plans for the 2012 Nevus Outreach Conference. Our conferences reach so many people who are affected by giant nevi, giving them an opportunity to meet others with nevi and to learn so much. We couldn't possibly put on the conference without our volunteers. You can enrich lives (your own included!) by volunteering to help out with the 2012 Nevus Outreach International Conference. We need volunteers in the following areas:

• Speakers
• Phlebotomists
• Nurses
• Kid Activity Volunteers
• Speaker Hosts
• Merchandise Sales-force
• Computer Techs
• Silent Auction Coordinators

Fundraising

We need volunteers every day of the year for fundraising efforts. You can set your own hours, work at your own pace, and have fun while you are doing it! Here are a few easy ways to be a fundraising volunteer:

• Ask for donations instead of birthday gifts
• Have a garage sale
• Sell pickles at a theater event
• Create a cookbook with your favorite recipes
