Finding Volunteers

Finding Volunteers

Volunteers are important for handling daily tasks and helping run the group.

To find volunteers who have experienced a stroke, you can:

• Ask current group members if they want to help.
• Reach out to places where you promote your group, like local healthcare clinics or hospitals.
• Connect with other peer support groups to see if any experienced members are available.
  

For volunteers without personal experience with stroke, consider:

• Local volunteer organizations.
• Your organizational or local partners.
• Spouses, families, or friends of group members.
• Students from nearby colleges or universities.
  

Tip: Some roles may need special training. Check with your organizational partner or local volunteer agencies for training opportunities.
