Volunteering
with the November Coalition
Our network of volunteers participate in a variety of levels
and through projects sponsored by our organization. This introduction
will help you understand how we work to mobilize volunteers at
the "grassroots" level and how you can fit into one
or more category of November Coalition volunteer.
Member
- A member of the November Coalition supports the Coalition with
yearly dues and receives online, web-based services and a mailed
a copy of our periodical, the print The Razor Wire, currently
published two times a year. Please sign up for our
low-volume email list, and bookmark the November
Coalition's home page. If you are not yet a member, please
join.
Volunteer Member - Members of the November Coalition
that also support our mission by volunteering time on our organizational
projects. Sometimes volunteers ask to be networked with other
members in their region. This is a good way for November Coalition
members to meet each other, enjoying the company of like-minded
citizens. Volunteers keep abreast of our projects, distribute
our published information, encourage others to join our organization,
and participate in special projects and campaigns.
Regional
Volunteer Leader - Our regional leaders plan and lead community
events, hold meetings, build media relationships, and involve
themselves in projects that are sponsored by the November Coalition.
Through an e-list, and staff working the phones, our leaders
stay in close contact with other regional leaders. Regional leaders,
staff and prisoners plan and implement programs and new projects.
If you would like to be a regional leader, fill out our Volunteer
Questionnaire, mail it back to us, and we will introduce
you to others in your area.
Point of Contact Volunteer - This person usually works
closely with another organization (ie: prison reform or social
justice reform, or other drug law reform group) and will help
coordinate a November Coalition sponsored event or project when
it aligns with their organization's mission. If you are with
another organization and you and your associates are interested
in networking with us, please fill
out the questionnaire.
November
Coalition's staff, working with volunteers and advisors, develops
campaigns in which people can easily participate. Some of our
projects require teamwork, and others you can work by yourself.
Please review the summaries listed at this link and visit that
portion of our website for a complete description and instructions
on how you can be involved. If you have any questions, each page
will give you an opportunity to address your concerns to the
person best suited to give you an answer.
