Volunteering
Volunteers are the heart of
AAH Fairbanks.
Join with your neighbors to give a ride,
share stories, grocery shop, take a walk,
share a special skill, and have fun!
AAA Fairbanks assists members with transportation for medical and other appointments; computer/technical support; grocery shopping; friendly visits; household tasks; and help when unexpected needs arise. Some volunteers have special skills, such as helping members with paperwork and understanding health benefits.
A Rewarding Experience
Our goal is to ensure that volunteering itself is a rewarding and satisfying experience. Many of our members also choose to serve as volunteers. The volunteer initiative provides opportunities for new friendships to develop among volunteers and members as they share experiences and discover mutual interests.
Volunteer service should not become a burden. A volunteer’s interests and abilities are matched with member needs. Volunteers are asked to sign up for tasks according to their skills and time availability. Volunteers are trained and well informed about the necessary policies and procedures.
