Community & Family Program Assistant

Help out at one of LIA's community programs or family literacy workshops! This could involve setting up the activity space, welcoming participants, explaining activities, reading stories, overseeing and assisting participants during the sessions, and cleaning up.

Skillsharer

Do you have a specific skillset or expertise you would like to share with others? Reach out to LIA and we will help you organize a skillsharing workshop where you can coach an individual or group in your community.

Board Member

We want the voices of community members at the table to help us make the best choices for the organization. You don’t need extensive experience or qualifications to become a board member. Just a passion for lifelong learning and community engagement (and availability for monthly board meetings).

Behind the Scenes

Are you skilled in administration, paperwork, graphic design, cleaning, organizing, filing, landscaping, video editing, or maintenance? Volunteer to help LIA with day-to-day tasks that keep a non-profit running smoothly. 

Promotion

Spread the word about LIA! Share our events on social media. Put up posters in your community. Use your contacts or spheres of influence to make our work known.
