Want to Volunteer?

• Board of Directors – volunteers who serve two year terms and pay the RAINBOW $500 annually to perform that service.  Additionally, they have committed to attending 50% of all Center fundraisers and sell tickets for the Center’s major events while making significant in-kind contributions.  Many of the Directors serve multiple terms.

• Board of Advisors – volunteers, many have served as Directors, without defined terms who bring prized skill levels to the RAINBOW, i.e., grant writing, public relations, program consultations, fund raising and RCC promotion in the larger population. 

• Committee Chairs and Members – volunteers who spend many hours in planning, completing and evaluating the tasks that produce the RCC’s functions and programs.  These “in-the-trenches” groups are the worker bees and the determinants of success of any organization. 

• Group Facilitators – volunteers with special skills of leadership who manage and direct the many groups utilizing the RAINBOW.  These groups identify the life issues faced daily by the RCC’s population and offer individuals the opportunity to explore and grow in a safe space under the tutelage of the group facilitator.

• Office Staff – volunteers who faithfully devote fixed hours to the myriad administrative tasks connected with the office of a busy and successful RCC.  Currently, our two volunteers are stretched extremely thin and we are in GREAT NEED of a minimum of two additional volunteers, preferably ladies to support our all-male staff.

• Assistant Librarian – Steve Spencer has faithfully developed and maintained our ever expanding and valuable library of GLBTIQ literature.  And, he needs help.  His many duties include cataloging all volumes on the web so people may research titles from home.  He receives and processes donated collections and has developed the check our system so individuals can access materials for an extended time.  The library is one of RCC’s hidden treasures.

• Assistant Web-Master – Sean Kleen continues in this role and spends many hours weekly redesigning, upgrading and writing for the web.  This mode of communication for the greater community is being utilized ever more frequently as we follow the “hit” numbers which are now counted and are currently averaging around 1,000 monthly.

• Special Projects – Volunteers who honor our call for a few hours to stuff envelopes, set-up projects, support an event, etc. are scarce and this vital group saves the RCC many dollars each year.
