Volunteer Opportunities at Alcor
Below is a list of current volunteer opportunities at Alcor. As a non-profit organization, Alcor and its members derive great benefit from volunteers. Besides directly helping Alcor to carry out its mission, volunteering also promotes activism and enables Alcor to capture and explore ideas that would otherwise have gone unaddressed due to limited resources. Local volunteers help out regularly at the Alcor facility in Scottsdale, but we realize that some projects can be completed remotely and that many people who do not live in the Scottsdale area have the expertise or available time to take on a proactive role.
Take a few moments to peruse our current volunteer opportunities. If you are able to work on a project, fill out the feedback form as thoroughly as possible, particularly regarding your availability and why you feel the project is a good fit for your skills and interests. We will contact you as details are available. Note that some projects provide some compensation (such as membership dues credits) for timely completion.
