- Call for Volunteers-

Do you want to learn about international adoption and other means to help children find permanent, loving families?

Joint Council's Annual Medical Institute and Conference brings together hundreds of practitioners in the field of child welfare (particularly intercountry adoption) to share their insight and expertise.

Volunteers are needed to assist Joint Council staff with the Medical Institute and Conference portions of this event (March 26-28, 2009) in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Volunteers will be at the front and center of this event, helping staff man the registration tables, answer participants' questions, introduce speakers, etc. This is a great opportunity to meet other people in the field and to learn more about the top issues affecting children in need of permanent homes.

While there is some flexibility for volunteer schedules, we prefer for people to be available either the full duration of the Medical Institute and Conference (Thurs.-Sat.) or the entire Conference portion (Fri.-Sat.).  Volunteers are needed from approximately
8 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day.

Breakfast and lunch will be included for volunteers.  However, non-local volunteers are responsible for their travel costs and accommodations.  We will also work with volunteers to accommodate their requests to attend up to two workshop sessions.

More information about the Conference, including the complete schedule, can be found at http://www.jcics.org/Conference.htm.

If interested in volunteering, please contact Joelle Ruben at (703) 535-8045 or joeller@jcics.org. Please include the dates/times you are looking to volunteer and whether or not you are local to Indianapolis.
