How to Apply

 

1. Fill out a volunteer application
If you are a student, fill out our abbreviated student volunteer application
If you are considering bringing a group to volunteer, please fill out our Work Team Application
2. Once the Volunteer Office has received and reviewed your application, we will call you to schedule an interview to determine the best match between you and ECHO.
3. All volunteers are required to go on a tour before starting. This is a 90 minute walking tour. Reservations are needed for parties of 10 or more, or if you will need handicapped accomodations. Please call several days in advance.

Public tours are as follows:

  Nov- Mar: Tuesday - Friday @ 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., and Saturday @ 10:00 a.m.
Apr - Dec: Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday @ 10:00 a.m.

4. At the interview, we will present the volunteer opportunities that most closely match your interest(s), and in many cases, assign you to a specific volunteer assignment. We will then go over logistical information to get started!
5. If no match can be found during the interview, we will hold your application for six months and notify you if an area of interest opens up.

Call 239-543-3246 or e-mail volunteer@echonet.org, if you would like assistance to fill out a volunteer application. We would be more than happy to assist you.
