Historical December 1982 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
Volunteers are being sought by two St. Louis programs offering much-needed help to special groups.
The Missouri Board of Probation and Parole needs volunteers to work at their downtown Office assisting in an employment program which helps ex-offenders acquire jobs.
Persons are also needed to assist in working with alcoholism education groups. Both of these tasks address widespread and critical issues for enabling exoffenders to become self-sufficient, productive workers. Training is provided for volunteers, who work closely with professional staff.
For more information, call 647-3657. Assertive volunteers with interest and concern for the aged are needed as ombudsman volunteers with the Nursing Home Ombudsman Program. Volunteers must be able to spend a half day during the week at a nearby nursing home, visiting with residents to determine their unresolved concerns or complaints. Expert training and on-going supervision and education enable volunteers to work with nursing home administration, staff and residents in finding solutions to problems. Interested persons may call Cathy Hartmann, Coordinator of Volunteers, at the Nursing Home Ombudsman Program. 534-3345.
