Outreach volunteers assist with setting up and staffing information tables, distributing Alianza information and responding to questions about services while tabling at community events (i.e. fairs, festivals, outdoor markets). Volunteers also help distribute informational materials to public places, such as doctorsâ?? offices, libraries, schools, businesses, and local service agencies. Volunteers participate in a 1-2 hour training, and are paired with staff when out in the community. Time commitment is flexible and may include weekend days.
