Volunteer at HudsonAlpha

As a nonprofit organization, HudsonAlpha greatly appreciates those who donate their time and talents. Our “Partners of Progress” volunteer in various areas of the Institute, driving the Institute’s mission forward.

Most volunteer opportunities happen outside the lab, where they contribute significantly to fundraising events, such as the Spring Benefit, Double Helix Dash 5K and Tie the Ribbons luncheon. Volunteers are also a big part of the Biotech 101 and 201 lifelong learning series.

These Partners of Progress are also a tremendous resource for educator-focused workshops, including Genetic Resources to Empower Alabama Teachers (GREAT) and Genetic Technologies for Alabama Classrooms (GTAC).

Volunteers at HudsonAlpha come from all backgrounds and age groups, tied together by their desire to make a difference. They may not be scientists by training, but they know that by sharing their time and talents, they can be part of the solution.

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Karen Petersen at 256-327-9434 or kpetersen@hudsonalpha.org.
