Volunteer Now!

Wherever you are, whoever you are, you are needed.

You are busy! You are valued! You are needed! The women in our global community are getting connected and offering their time and talents in ways that fit their lives. As a volunteer, chances are good that you will meet fascinating women ("and a few good men") from places you may not be able to pronounce. Say "YES!" to volunteering with Peace X Peace.

The best part - we get to meet you.

VOLUNTEER with Peace X Peace for one hour, for one week, or through the years. We want to talk with you about your abilities in networking, organizing, speaking, researching, fundraising, promoting, counseling, advising, teaching, helping, designing, marketing, and keeping us calm!

Ways to Volunteer

Speaker and Presenter (Volunteer now!)

You speak and people listen! You are a confident presenter at conferences, meetings, and events. Peace X Peace is beloved by women around the world. Once you get in front of people you will be loved, too. We are looking for women who can speak from their own experience of being in a Peace X Peace sister match and those who know us well and want to share.

If you are new and are willing we have speaking points to make it easy.

Perhaps you are most comfortable in front of a TV camera or radio mike. Let's talk - because we all know that our rising global network of women could use the coverage! Contact Connecting Women for Peace, our beautiful local workshop for women interested in peace.

Media Volunteer (Volunteer now!)

Wherever you are, there are other women. We want to include them. Consider spreading the word, sharing press releases, news breaks, and Peace X Peace materials.

• What about those newsletters at your place of worship?
• Library, community center, and coffee shop bulletin boards are trusted information centers.
• Local media, newspapers, radio and television stations are always looking for the unusual - that's us! Contact Mary Liepold, Senior Writer, at maryl@peacexpeace.org

Recruiter (Volunteer now!)

This is one of our most interesting opportunities. Women from around the world come to our site to be matched based on their interests and needs. Sometimes these are so specific we need to do a little extra homework to find just the right match. Sometimes we get a group of 30 or more that need a bit of guidance.

Imagine, 20 women in a Palestinian refugee camp who are all breast cancer survivors and want to talk with other cancer survivors from another religion, We need your networking skills. Please contact Lynn, lynn@peacexpeace.org

Fundraiser (Volunteer now!)

You are a woman who is not afraid to ask ... when it comes to causes you love. We want to talk. Peace X Peace relies solely on private donations, membership subscriptions, and the generous contributions of its members. Many women around the world are able to join our global community because of others' generosity.

We would be grateful for your help to:

• Introduce us to potential donors
• Work with our Founder and our Development Department
• Organize Peace Salons bringing thinkers and doers together with potential funders in a comfortable, informal setting to invite them to contribute.
• Offer your seasoned grant writing skills
• Spread the word about our Women's Global Roundtable

Circle Guide (Volunteer now!)

Are you in a Sister Match? You are a most valued mentor to those getting started. Share what you have learned and cheer them on! Here are some ways:

• Sign up to host one of our "Sister Talk" conference calls - regularly scheduled calls for new members to help them get started in a sister connection. Please contact Kay, membersupport@peacexpeace.org
• Mentor one or a number of new sister matches by just being there and sharing from experience. Kay would love your help. Contact membersupport@peacexpeace.org.
• Write about your experience and submit it and other ideas to Mary, our editor, who is always looking for material: Mary@peacexpeace.org.

Translator (Volunteer now!)

Skilled volunteers translate many of our resources into different languages - French, Spanish, Arabic, Urdu and Hindi, to name a few. By offering your help once or over and over you are supporting women who may never have communicated across cultures. Contact Lynn McClintock, lynn@peacexpeace.org

Queen of Fun! (Volunteer now!)

These luscious ladies put the fun into deadlines, spark into writing, life into events, and color into programs. Consider setting aside one day in your busy life to bring your creative and spontaneous self into connecting women for peace. You are the queen.

• Review new programs and advise us with your own ideas
• Use your outgoing personality to spread Peace X Peace materials
• Meet women from other religions, walks of life, and ethnic backgrounds

Data Assistant (Volunteer now!)

Love data entry? We have an easy task for you that actually means the world to women in developing countries: entering names and email addresses into our database. If you have an hour a week, or an hour a day, we could use your help and attention to detail. You can work right from your own computer, and provide help for women in Africa, Latin America and Asia.

Please contact Lynn with your own ideas at lynn@peacexpeace.org
