We will discuss the search and application process and how you can make a good match, then highlight opportunities coming up soon, both one-time and longer-term options at the program or board level, in response to your priorities. Staff from several agencies will drop in. Attendees are encouraged to share relevant first-hand experiences, but we will move along at a pace. Instructors: Laurie Rothstein, Maddie Ball

Laurie brings three decades of work in local nonprofits to her role leading Cambridge Volunteers since 2015. These agencies hosted worldwide research expeditions, repaired the environment in Armenia, taught rape prevention through theater, empowered Boston youth, and opened access to college for under-served students while training urban teachers. All of these organizations relied on volunteers. Laurie believes in the unique power of volunteerism to create change and to change all participants -- including the volunteers -- in the process.

Maddie is a Massachusetts native, lover of books and cats, adventurous DIYer, and queso enthusiast. She is a graduate of UMass Amherst, with degrees in Comparative Literature and Spanish, and trained in Spanish interpreting at BU. Outside of her work with Cambridge Volunteers, Maddie is an independent ceramic artist and kiln firer at Mudflat in Somerville.
