Immediate needs

• Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence is seeking volunteers for the seventh annual Red Dog Run on Aug. 6 at Haskell Indian Nations University.

• Theatre Lawrence is looking for volunteers to help answer the phones and perform administrative tasks in the theater box office during peak sales periods.

Theatre Lawrence’s box office is open 11:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday, so the ideal time for a volunteer would be noon-4 p.m.

There is no training requirement; all tasks will be explained by staff at the start of the position.

• Willow Domestic Violence Center is currently seeking applications for volunteers interested in working directly with survivors of domestic violence during daytime hours in the court setting.

This position will allow volunteers to assist survivors in completing Protection from Abuse (PFA) and Protection from Stalking (PFS) orders; accompany survivors to both civil and criminal hearings; and support survivors throughout the court process.
