Utica, NY – February 13, 2023: On Tuesday, February 28 and Wednesday, March 29,
2023 at 12:00PM and again at 6:00PM, Empowered Pathways will offer virtual
Volunteer Information Sessions for people interested in learning more about the agency’s
volunteer opportunities. Currently, more than 40 volunteers assist the agency in providing
community mediation services, family mediation, serve as panel members for the
Surrogate Decision-Making Committee Program (SDMC), and serve in many other
essential positions.
“This is an opportunity to learn more about the many volunteer opportunities with our
agency,” said Lu Blanchard, Volunteer Coordinator, “whether you are interested in
helping people resolve conflicts or serving on a panel that helps people with intellectual
disabilities gain access to medical care or spurring a donation drive for the women in our
WERC program we have opportunities for everyone.” Blanchard explained that we will
host a 30-hour Basic Mediation training in May 2023 and are looking for prospective
participants to become new volunteer mediators.
For more information or to register for a session, please call 315-724-1718 ext. 150
