How to be a Positive Lights Volunteer

The development and upkeep of a large website takes a lot of time and requires a variety of different skills. Volunteer help is far more valuable than cash contributions at this stage of our effort to expand the program of Positive Lights, Inc.

For those who have a possible interest in helping us, here are some of the tasks for which we currently need assistance. No expertise with the Internet or with web site development is required for most of these tasks.

• Help edit the pages of this web site for typos, spelling errors and possible grammar errors.

• Check the validity of any links from one page to another and from this web site to other web sites.

• Monitor news and articles in the national and local media for stories that might be appropriate for mention in this web site.

• Monitor news and articles in various senior web sites for stories that would be appropriate to link to from our web site.

• Use Internet search engines to locate useful articles and information on the topics that are included in this web site.

• Server as an area advisor for a specific metro area or as a topic advisor for any of the subjects that are discussed in our web site.

• Send email or written thank you notes for any contributions that we may generate from this web site.

• Help us to locate exemplary examples of excellence in the care of the elderly by the professional caregivers, the volunteers at various facilities, the administrators and others.

• Help us to locate examples of poor practices and neglect in the care of the elderly.

• Help us to recruit authors to contribute articles to the various various segments of this web site.
