Get Involved in PADS!
Volunteer - there are many ways to volunteer and serve at a PADS site. Please click here for a complete list of volunteer possibilities.
Be an advocate for PADS. Tell people what it is and how it works. Encourage people in your neighborhood, church, civic organization, place of employment, etc., to get involved either as individuals or as a group.
Many letters, brochures, and a PowerPoint presentation is available for you that explains things in greater detail. For a copy of any of these tools, please send an email.
Volunteer Training is available. There will be three volunteer training sessions so you can learn how PADS operates, what is expected of the volunteers, and the procedures involved. The training will help insure that you will be knowledgeable and comfortable in your role as a volunteer.
