Ljnradio: Volunteering At

Whether it's giving a cancer patient a ride to chemotherapy, putting together a team for Relay For Life or spreading the word about prevention and detection, individuals can help the American Cancer Society (ACS) with their cause. Mary LaPrairie, the Volunteer Coordinator for the Midwest Division of ACS, talks to Tim Muma about the different ways to offer your time and services. She also touches on how volunteering can benefit those getting involved, as well as the patients. If you're unemployed and looking to keep your skills sharp and resume full - you'll need to volunteer. Of course, you might be employed, but looking to give back or maybe you're a retiree trying to stay involved. Whatever your situation is, Volunteering At will take the listener into the organizations who are looking for volunteers!
