One of the founding members of our Board, Dolores joined us at the very beginning, in 1972. In her first year, she made presentations to more than 65 women’s groups, fundraising to launch the local hospital Burn unit. She still invigorates others with her passion for our mission.
Volunteer
Smoke Alarm Installation Volunteer
Help keep seniors safe in their homes! Volunteers install smoke alarms in the homes of seniors (Fire-Safe Seniors). After pairing up with another volunteer, you’ll install alarms and review fire safety information with residents.
Training is provided by the Burn Institute. We’re looking for committed volunteers who can help on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly basis. Background check and screening required.
Event Volunteers
We depend on volunteers for several events each year! Sell t-shirts at the Demolition Derby, assist with our silent auction, support the golf classic. Event volunteering is a fun way to give back and support your great cause.
Office Volunteer
We’re always looking for help around the office! Database entry, filing, and any other projects that may come up. If you have some extra time and would like to help in an administrative way, becoming an office volunteer is for you!

Community Outreach volunteers help us spread important fire safety education. Staff a table at a fire department open house or attend a safety fair as a Burn Institute representative. Hand out fire and burn prevention information and interact with community members. Educating our community is an impactful way to help!

There are more opportunities to conduct presentations at local elementary schools and with community partners.
