World View frequently needs volunteers to help us prepare material for our programs and to assist with program marketing. This type of volunteering takes place at our office and involves collating handouts for participant program folders, collating marketing material, and stuffing, labeling, and sealing envelopes.
We also welcome volunteer support during our larger fall and spring programs, which are held at the Friday Center for Continuing Education. This type of work includes introducing speakers, handing out folders at registrations, and helping with other program logistics. You can find more information about our fall symposiums and spring seminars online.
If you are interested in volunteering with World View, please contact Juliet Traub, Program Manager, at jtraub@unc.edu or 919/843-6795.
Thank you for your time and interest in supporting the
important work of World View!
