We need walk team captains (people who head up teams to walk/raise funds for the Arthritis Foundation's programs and research) for our walk.

ARTHRITIS WALK COMMITTEE MEMBERS: 

We need individuals to help us plan and coordinate all of our Walks next year.  Consider joining the committee for the walk in your community. Contact Emily Cope at  ecope@arthritis.org or 412-566-1645 ext. 1103 for more information. 

PROGRAM LEADERS:

Would you like to be certified as an instructor of one of our 3 evidence-based programs?  You can take our leaders class and lead participants through our Arthritis Foundation Exercise, Aquatic or Self Help Programs.  All you need is a facility where you can teach the class and the time to teach the 6 or 8 week courses.  Contact Allison Kerr at akerr@arthritis.org or 412-566-1645

OFFICE VOLUNTEERS:

Office volunteers assist us with important work such as filling information request orders.  We have volunteers who come in once a week to help with these tasks.  In addition to our once-weekly opportunities, we are also in need of on-call volunteers.  These volunteers come in to assist us with projects like mailings, phone call projects or organizing our materials on an as-needed basis.  Contact Carolyn Hart at chart@arthritis.org or 412-566-1645 ext. 1102 for more information.
