We are looking for motivated and excited volunteers to join us in our outreach efforts at various community events, including food and wine festivals and farmers’ markets. As a CORA Event Outreach Volunteer, you won’t be sitting behind a table—you’ll be out in front, engaging event-goers with warmth, enthusiasm, and purpose. You’ll help people feel comfortable talking about healthy relationships and let them know CORA is here for them, their friends, or their loved ones—before a crisis happens.
By helping CORA show up at public events in a vibrant and engaging way, you’re helping build a culture of healthy relationships and showing people that resources and support are always within reach. This is more than tabling—it’s a chance to represent an important cause and inspire others to care, connect, and act. This role is ideal for anyone who loves interacting with others and wants to make a real impact in their community. Come ready to chat, share, and shine! And you’ll have plenty of fun CORA swag to give away! If you’re ready to step up and stand out—we’d love to have you on our team!
