Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers Make Things Happen!
A message from Spertus Volunteer Coordinator Rae Jedel.

As a Spertus member and committed volunteer, I invite you to join me in supporting Spertus with your time and expertise. With preparations underway for lively lineup of 2010 offerings, the overworked Spertus staff needs your help! I am currently assembling a team of reliable and dedicated volunteers to assist in a variety of areas. Knowing that your time is valuable, I am seeking individuals who can help at a single event as well as those interested in an ongoing commitment. Volunteer opportunities are available in a variety of areas, with specific tasks ranging from event management to grant research to book cataloguing.

Interested? Contact me at rsjedel@spertus.edu, then expect to hear from me in a week or two to discuss your interest.

For more information, see our Volunteer Profile Form. This form can be filled out and emailed to me to start the process. Or if you prefer, send it to me at:
