For more information about any volunteer opportunities at ASA please call 406-6167or fill out our online application form and someone will contact you as soon as possible. Providing regular contact to clients reduces isolation and encourages independence. Volunteers also keep the food pantry running, provide transportation for clients, assist with pet care, and help with hundreds of other practical tasks to help make the lives of ASA clients easier.
Some tasks require daytime availability, but scheduling is usually flexible.
Volunteers donate 1-10 hours a week, depending on their schedule and availability. The resource team is responsible for answering the ASA information and business lines, directing agency traffic, responding to requests for testing and transmission information, providing doctor referrals, transferring calls to staff, and providing general information about ASA's services and other community resources. In addition, the resource team provides some case management. An additional 6 hour training beyond the general orientation is required. Volunteers can work one or more 3-4 hour shifts per week for a minimum of 6 months or a semester.
