AIDS Walk Long Beach is the largest AIDS fundraising event in Long Beach. Men, women and children of all ages, races and backgrounds come together as a demonstration of unity in seeking to end the suffering caused by HIV/AIDS. Thousands of  volunteers and walkers will gather at The Pike at Rainbow Harbor on Saturday, June 23, 2007. The work, however, starts early in the year and volunteers are a critical component to the success of AIDS Walk Long Beach.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED
Do you prefer to collate mailings, chat with participants on the phone or encourage participants on their goals? Whether you're looking for a relaxing evening activity or a challenging project tailored to your skills, there is a place for everyone at the Foundation office. Please take the time to fill out the online volunteer form so we can contact you and find your ideal activity.

Currently we are taking volunteers for all pre-event activities. In May, we'll begin registering volunteers for the day of the Walk. Please let us know on the volunteer form if you'd like us to contact you.

VOLUNTEER HOURS
The AIDS Walk needs volunteer assistance in the office during office hours.  Whether you can donate 4 hours or 8 hours, the office hours are 9AM to 8PM, Monday to Friday, during the months of January through June.  However, during the months of July through December our needs are limited to 9AM to 5PM. The office is generally not open on Saturday and Sunday, but we do have canvassing opportunities on some weekends.

GROUPS
Groups of all sizes and ages are welcome on the day of the AIDS Walk, in the office and to assist with canvassing. Please call our office at (562) 987-5200 so we can find something just right for your group.  Volunteers under the age of 18 do require permission from their parents.

INTERNSHIPS
Full or part-time internships are available. We tailor internships to the individual's skills and have positions related to public relations, outreach, event operations and volunteer organizing. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the community we serve and apply them toward your degree or research papers. For more information see the listings on our website or contact.
