VOLUNTEERING AT THE CENTER

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS TO GO CLUBBIN’?

Have you ever gone out to the night club and wondered, “Gee, I need condoms…” Well, maybe not in those exact words, but I’m sure it would help to have some right there where your chances of getting lucky are high up there on the scale.

Volunteers for this program go around Long Beach where men and women hang out passing out condoms and dental dams to anyone who wants to speak to us. It can be a lot of fun if there’s a good group of people and most of the local clubs and bars know about us so getting in is usually free or we get some kind of hook up.

My resolution for 2008 is to change it up a bit. I was thinking about taking it to places that the Center has never been and REALLY make an impact. We really need people who can think outside the box, see new ways of reaching the community and most importantly understand what the community needs.

If you are this person or if you know someone please call me, e-mail me or post a comment and we can get the ball rolling on starting the Long Beach Outreach Posse!! There’s a training coming up the second week in March were you get your gear and you get to meet the rest of the volunteers. Men and women are more than welcome, but of course you must be at least 18 and at least 21 if you’re going to be doing bar/club outreach!!

Look forward to hearing from you!!!
