Needs From: United Way of Addison County

Addison County Community Trust is seeking a volunteer for approximately 2 hours per month to support our Board of Directors. The volunteer would be responsible for taking notes at ACCT’s monthly Board meetings, which occur on the fourth Thursday of the month from 4:00 to 5:30 pm via Zoom or in person in Middlebury or Vergennes. The commitment could extend through the semester or beyond if desired. The volunteer would have the opportunity to learn about board service, nonprofit governance, and affordable housing while supporting a local nonprofit striving to enrich the lives of low- and moderate-income Vermonters by developing and managing safe, high quality, permanently affordable housing and associated services for families, seniors, and individuals.

Addison County Community Trust and SASH are in need of a volunteer to come to the Vergennes office at 50 Armory Lane and help with up to 10 hours a week of filing and light phone calls for a couple of weeks, then five hours a week ongoing. Volunteer will need to do HIPAA training provided by ACCT or already have done the training and understand basic aspects of HIPAA compliance.

Are you concerned about the lack of affordable housing in Addison County and looking for ways to get involved?  Join ACCT’s fundraising committee and help support our programs, like developing new rental housing, preserving mobile home parks, offering downpayment assistance to homebuyers, housing the homeless, and in particular, enhancing quality of life for residents.  The fundraising committee plans a variety of fun events throughout the year and recruits donors and supporters through creative storytelling around ACCT's mission and impact.

When responding to this need in the notes section please include a brief introduction of yourself and your experience with fundraising and/or related activities.  We are actively seeking members who will bring diverse perspectives on housing needs to our work.
