Join us for a Volunteer Orientation to learn about AVDA’s programs, services and volunteer needs. All volunteers must attend a Volunteer Orientation before beginning to volunteer with AVDA. Orientations are held virtually via Zoom for the time being as AVDA has suspended all in-person volunteer opportunities indefinitely. All orientations are one hour and conducted by AVDA’s Senior Development Associate, Tess Gee, and Director of Development, Lauren Summerville. All attendees must first complete AVDA’s Volunteer Application Form and have a clear background check (provided by AVDA) before attending the orientation. Please reach out to Tess Gee at tessg@avda-tx.org for the application and background check and to register to attend an orientation. We hope you will join us!
