OutReach, Madison’s LGBT Community Center, is looking for volunteer health promoters to help LGBT people quit smoking.
Volunteers would talk to smokers in their social networks about the risks of tobacco use, and they would also support individuals who have decided to stop smoking and refer individuals who have already quit to services provided by the rm2breathe program and its partner agencies.
Rm2breathe is a Wisconsin statewide program that was created to change attitudes about tobacco use among minority social networks, with the goal of reducing smoking within those networks.
The volunteer positions entail four to six hours of work monthly and volunteers receive a $50 monthly stipend. For more information, contact Outreach at 608-255-8582.
