How to Get Involved in JONAH
JONAH is a volunteer-based organization with one paid staff member. At any given time, there are dozens of opportunities to get involved in the work of JONAH. To get involved, contact the JONAH representative at one of the Member Organizations or call our office directly as (269) 660-1950. You can also send an e-mail to the JONAH Community Organizer for more information.
Here are some examples of how you can get involved in JONAH today:
- Encourage your church or non-profit organization to become a JONAH member
- Attend JONAH public meetings to find out what is happening to make Battle Creek a better place for all of us.
- Volunteer your time at the JONAH office. We’re always in need of people with good office and communication skills.
- Talk to your neighbors about JONAH and give them the new JONAH brochure (available 9/7/08).
- Meet with your local neighborhood organization and tell them how to get involved with JONAH.
- Attend local government meetings to speak on behalf of key issues that JONAH is addressing.
- Ask your children, spouse and relatives if they know about JONAH. If not, encourage them to find out more and attend an upcoming event.
- Write a letter to the editor about an issue that concerns you in our community.
- Get to know the City and County Commissioners for your area by name. Call them directly if you have a concern and encourage them to work with JONAH on resolving it.
- Volunteer your time with one of JONAH’s Strategic Partners, such as Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Haven of Rest Ministries or SAFE Place.
No matter what your interest or background, there’s always a way you can make a difference in our community. Call (269) 660-1950 to find out more. Thank you!
How to Become a JONAH Member
There are no “individual” members of JONAH because membership is held at the level of a faith community or non-profit organization. However, we strongly welcome new members and new strategic partners.
If your faith community or non-profit organization would like to become a JONAH member, or would like to learn more about JONAH membership, please contact the JONAH Community Organizer at (269) 660-1950. You may also send an e-mail to the JONAH Community Organizer for additional information.
