Volunteer Role Descriptions
The descriptions below should give you a better understanding of the general responsibilities of each volunteer role listed on our volunteer application. It is perfectly acceptable if you cannot perform certain duties listed in a particular group but would still like to participate in other aspects of it. We will discuss these at your volunteer interview. Our goal is to make this a positive experience for YOU, the volunteer, as well as fulfilling the needs of Webster Comfort Care.

Gardening
Gardening volunteers work in the gardens, planting, weeding, clipping, watering and general garden maintenance.
Fund-raising/Public Relations
Fund-raising/Public Relations volunteers help to raise money through various campaigns and events, and generate and promote communications with the community and the media. Examples may include a pledge drive, garage and bake sale, golf tournament, car wash, soliciting sales of raffle tickets or other sale items such as cook books or discount books, candy bar sales, and helping with speaking engagements, letters and phone correspondence. Fund-raising/Public Relations volunteers may also be asked to help with any tasks associated with an event (such as baking, helping with mailings, posting flyers at various locations, etc.). This role may also include assisting in getting items donated and helping with preparation of newsletters and annual reports.
Office/Clerical
Office/Clerical volunteers assist with duties that include answering the phones and the door (which are surprisingly busy), scheduling, faxing, computer work, correspondence and mailings. Duties may also involve clerical support of fund-raising efforts as needed.
Miscellaneous
We sometimes encounter situations where individuals, companies or groups wish to create their own personalized roles. We welcome this opportunity to "customize" roles, designed exclusively to tailor your individual needs, or the needs/benefits that your company or group can offer.
