The AVON 39 Walk Weekend would not be possible without the support of many dedicated volunteers. Whether you join us one night a week, occasionally for special projects and programs, or during the Event - your participation is vital to our success.
The following are AVON 39 weekend shifts. We also depend on Volunteers during the months leading up to the Event to support our staff in contacting 39ers, organizing events, leading Training Walks, etc. If you are interested in volunteering before Event weekend, please contact Ali Hoffman ([email protected])
