Volunteer recognition:
Submit your nominations!

One lucky winner and their guest are going to the Bahamas for free October 14th-18th! Our Board of Directors have agreed to chip in, and pay for an all-expense paid trip to say THANK YOU.

 

We are looking to recognize and reward one very special volunteer who has gone above-and-beyond to help our organization over the past year. The board of directors will be judging based on:
  • Selfless commitment level
  • Upholding Mercy Flight Southeast's core values
  • Reliability

Yes, you may nominate yourself, or someone else who you believe should be considered for this recognition. Please remember, we appreciate everyone's commitment to our fantastic mission, even if you're not picked this year.

 

Submit you nominations to CEO@mercymail.org by September 15 for consideration. You must tell us why, with a minimum of 75 words. Winner will be chosen on September 22.

Drawing will be held at the AOPA show in Hartford, CT September 22, 2011. 

 

Current volunteer opening:

Grant Writer -

 

This is a position that would require time on the computer filling out grant applications from time to time. Mercy Flight relies on grants from various donors such as: Winn Dixie, Publix, Sam's Club, family foundations, etc. In order for us to obtain these grants, there are applications that have to be filled out and information sent to the companies. There are many different grants that we qualify for and need to apply for, but we need assistance from volunteers at times. This would be great volunteer hours from the comfort of your own home in your spare time.

* 1 - 2 hours a week commitment

WE LOVE OUR VOLUNTEERS, but we are always in need of more.
