Volunteer

NAMI Finger Lakes is a volunteer-driven organization. Our volunteers facilitate weekly support groups, teach free NAMI classes, spread the word of NAMI at community events, fundraise and more.

Help Other Families and Individuals Struggling with Mental Illness

Do you have special talents that you’d like to apply to a good cause? Much of what we do at NAMI Finger Lakes would not be possible without the help of our volunteers.

Volunteers help in a variety of ways, such as:

  • Presenting to schools, workplaces, churches and other communities

  • Facilitating NAMI support groups/NAMI signature classes

  • Responding to Helpline calls

  • Overwatch Peer Support (for first responders; Overwatch has a separate volunteer application)

  • Social media 

  • Event planning

  • Outreach

  • Fundraising

  • Administrative

  • Join our Board of Directors

  • And More!
