Volunteers  

Volunteerism is the absolute backbone of this non-profit agency. We salute the volunteers who have donated thousands of hours to supplement our small part-time staff and who help us to fill the tremendous community need for cancer support services.  With over 600 clients served per month, volunteers are essential to help us keep these services available.

Clinical Volunteers

Facilitators:  We require a master’s degree in Counseling or an MSW in Social Work and we supply you with incomparably rich experiences in working with cancer survivors. Plan to give us 6 hours a month for a year and it will be one of your most rewarding years. 

Please contact Su Murdock, Clinical Director, if you are interested in donating your professional services.  Phone: (203) 790-6568, Ext. 101.  E-mail: su@annsplace.org

Rich LaPine and Ken Ordway volunteer on September 11th to help speed play at the Ann Olsen Greater Danbury Golf Classic.

Special Events Volunteers

Committee members are needed to plan, organize and execute fund-raisers, so vital to our ability to deliver services.  We produce a spring and a fall golf tournament and a fall/winter festival of trees and traditions.  Many hours go into preparation for these events. See our golf and festival links for more details.

You may volunteer for a committee or an on-site event day by calling Jackie Morrison at (203) 790-6568. Email: Jackie@annsplace.org

Office Volunteers

Volunteers also rotate in our office as half-day receptionists, process mass mailings, and do special projects that come up from time to time.  A kind voice answering the phone on a busy day frees up our counselors who are in meetings with clients.  Computer skills are very helpful for some projects as well.  Call Jackie Morrison (back-up: Susan Neikirk) for more information at (203) 790-6568.
