Please take a moment to fill out the form below to volunteer for TIARA. We say it often, but it is true - TIARA is YOUR organization and it is only as good as its volunteers. You do not necessarily have to live in the Boston area or attend meetings to volunteer your time and talent.
You can print the following form and mail it to TIARA ATTN: Volunteer Chair, 2120 Commonwealth Ave., Auburndale, MA 02466-1909.

Write an article, column, nugget for the newsletter. Type up your thoughts and email them to the newsletter editors. They can assist you in putting the article together.
Help out at a mailing party—held in Auburndale, MA 4 times a year to get out the quarterly newsletters. They take place on Thursdays in the early afternoon and last approximately 2-3 hours.
Help maintain and develop the TIARA website.
Help staff a table at a TIARA-sponsored event—These are tables at conferences, seminars or festivals that would require as little as 3 hours of your time on a day of your choice that the event is being held. These events are announced in our newsletter and on our website. If you volunteer, we will contact you as events come up and check to see if you can assist us.
Volunteer at TIARA's Library in our Auburndale office.—This would be a Sunday afternoon from approximately 1pm to 3pm. We welcome people who come to the library and assist them in using the material we have available. We would train you on the items that are available for use. Even if you can only do an occasional Sunday, let us know. You will be contacted as to when we will be open.
Foresters Project- Help place Foresters' insurance policies in folders to prepare them for scanning. This work takes place daytime hours during the week at the TIARA office in Auburndale. An evening volunteer time may be added in the future.
