CARITAS (Richmond)

2009-11-06T00:43:21-05:00

http://www.caritasshelter.org

For every homeless person there's a different reason why, a reason you might not imagine. The stereotype of the homeless as lazy, mentally ill or simply far-removed from our lives isn't always accurate. The homeless include young, old, single, families, transients and the working poor. Fortunately, Richmond has the ability to provide emergency shelter for all those in crisis. Unlike larger urban areas, the problem of homelessness is not insurmountable here. CARITAS is helping to ensure shelter for everyone in our community, no matter why they need it.

Volunteer work with disabled students in Ungaran, Indonesia

2009-11-04T15:36:50-05:00

Educational and therapeutic activities for disabled students in Ungaran

January 16 - January 30, 2010

Ungaran Disable School is located in Ungaran Regency, Semarang. It is about 10 km south away from the city centre of Semarang. This School was founded with the aim to cater for the needs of disabled children and youth in Ungaran and the surrounding areas. Moreover, this school is also aimed to encourage and motivate the disable children and youth to struggle for their future. It is mainly funded by the Central Java department of health. We would like to host foreign volunteers because we believe that their interaction with the children, during education and vocational classes and other therapeutic activities will be of great benefit as our students have little or no chances to meet and live with people from other cultures. The intercultural dimension that their presence will generate will also be welcomed and valued by the local staffs. The support that the volunteers will give to our teaching staff, particularly those teaching English, will be invaluable.
The role of the volunteers will be assisting local teacher in classes like teaching very basic conversation in English, helping teachers in giving training on physical activities of the disabled students like making simple handicrafts, playing, doing simple sport etc . Volunteers' influence on students is expected to create a sense of knowledge of other realities of the disabled kids and other cultures in a way that improves their own perception of themselves and what they can achieve. Also to open the mind of international volunteers that the disabled students also need attention to face their future. It will also give opportunity for the international volunteers about the treatment that should be done by the families of disabled children.
Study theme: The volunteers will be introduced to the education activities of the disabled students related with Indonesian culture and customs in general.

For more details about this projects, please visit : www.cadip.org/volunteer-in-indonesia.htm or give us a call: 617-502-0400, 604-628-7400

I took down his size and name and as a result, they came in droves with specific needs. I am posting the list in hopes that may of you will "Adopt A Homeless/Needy" person and fill their needs. If you can buy new items, that would be fantastic but gently used items will be okay too. Many of these people have nothing! We also need volunteers to provide the following foods.

Potato chips 3 cases of 50 bags each Costco/Sams 10.00 per case

Local Food Co-op Intern (Goochland Courthouse)

2009-10-21T12:56:08-04:00

The Center for Rural Culture will be providing local food throughout the winter months to citizens who live and/or work in the Goochland Courthouse (and surrounding) area(s) through the Goochland Farmers Market Winter Co-Op program. Our program is completely automated for both our vendors and customers. We will be holding the vendor drops and customer pick-ups at the Goochland Family Services Building on River Road West in Goochland Courthouse.

We are looking for an intern to act as our Site Coordinator. We are looking for someone one day a week on Tuesdays (November through April) from approximately 12L30pm-6:30pm (with an hour break from 2:30-3:30). Responsibilities would include checking off vendor drop off orders on corresponding paperwork, and then assisting customers with their order pick-ups. A report would need to be sent to our manger at the end of the day on Tuesdays via email.

This would be a tremendous opportunity for someone who is interested in learning about the local food system. They would have the opportunity to work with both vendors and customers. As the site would be located at the place where the Goochland Food Pantry is housed, the Site Coordinator would also have the opportunity to learn more about how a food bank operates. This experience would be invaluable for someone who is possibly considering working at a farmers market or for other organization that provides local food to consumers.

There will be a small stipend for this position, as well as free membership in the Co-op program. This would fulfill the internship requirements for the Horticulture Technology degree at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College. Applicants who live in or very near the Goochland Courthouse area will be given priority.

Interested parties should contact me via the email or phone number below as soon as possible.

Teeny Boppers (Prince George/Ft. Lee)

2009-10-20T16:39:37-04:00

I am starting my own volunteer organization for teenage mothers. I am looking for people who have baby items that they are wanting to donate to teenage mothers. Once I have enough clothes I will set up a date to meet with these mothers and give them what they need. This is very important to me because I feel like teenage parents are looked down upon, and being a teen mother myself, I know that there are some good mothers out there that just need some guidance. My volunteer program will not be just to give them baby items but to also meet with them and talk to them about any problems they may be having and trying to help. We will hold play groups for the children. I just really need some help getting this program started. I am also donating baby items myself.

Items needed:

baby clothes
strollers
bouncers/ bouncy seats
maternity clothing
blankets
bassinets/cradles

I will not be able to accept carseats due to liability issues. Other than the carseats I will accept anything else.

Just send me an email and let me know that you are interested in donating items and I will set up a date to meet with you.

Thanks

Seeking Hoarders (USA)

2009-10-20T14:25:19-04:00

Discovery Studios, the internal production company for all of the Discovery-owned channels, is producing a series of hour-long documentary style shows about hoarding, which will air on TLC. We are currently recruiting people who would like to participate.  

A potential storyline could revolve around a situation where one family member is a hoarder and the rest of the family is having trouble coping. Or, it could be a family where multiple members are hoarders. In the most extreme cases, there may be a situation where the hoarder has been given an ultimatum to stop hoarding or else be evicted, cut off financially or divorced.

In the course of the show, we want to our viewers to understand why people hoard things, what steps can be taken to deal with a serious hoarding situation and how shining a light on this common problem can lead to positive change for the people involved. Depending on the situation, we may be able to assist with finding a therapist or clean-up crew that can help guide the hoarder down a healthier road.   We understand the very personal and sometimes embarrassing nature of this issue and guarantee that we will treat all characters involved in our program with respect.   

If you or someone you know is interested in discussing the project further with the producers, please contact amy_dickson@discovery.com or 240-662-4471. Thank you.

Virginia New Majority (Volunteers Needed) (Richmond)

2009-10-12T08:15:27-04:00

VIRGINIA- We bring together people to win pro-people policies in our region, state, and country.

NEW- We break from Virginia's old history of racism and corporate domination. We build on the best democratic traditions as we work to create a new and modern political system where all of us can participate in the decisions that impact us; where funds are raised from those who can most afford to pay; and where government has a role in supporting the common well-being of all.

MAJORITY- We build power by organizing the diverse peoples of the Commonwealth. Together we make up a new majority- African Americans, immigrants, progressive whites, youth, women, gays and lesbians. Together we can fight for and win-- healthcare for all! Fair and just immigration policies!...and MUCH more.

Project 3rd World Child Needs Volunteers! (RVA)

2009-10-11T18:20:02-04:00

Project 3rd World Child (P3WC) is an up and coming not for profit corporation looking for volunteers to make our dreams a reality, and the world a better place.

Our mission is to empower women and children of developing countries by providing them their necessary educational and fundamental needs. We are very excited about connecting in Richmond and worldwide. We have excited projects ahead, but we need support! In a previous project P3WC went to Malawi, Africa and helped build a village shelter. We bought bricks, maze, employed a local bricklayer to build this shelter. Our next project will be travelling to La Perla, Puerto Rico hopefully over Christmas break, funds permitting, to help out local orphanages. Our long term goals are to be able to provide grants for women in 3rd world countries to receive education and to provide assistance in building schools in this area.

Currently we are looking for website help (you can check out our current situation and what we've done in the past at www.project3rdworldchild.org).

AND legal assistance on our 1023 form to become a 501c3. We've kindly received help from Williams and Mullen through the Pro Bono Clearing House to complete our Articles of Incorporation and our By laws. They both have been submitted to the state and we are waiting for our certificate to arrive. Honestly, we are at a loss with these legal terms and need your help.

We are also looking for volunteers interesting in fundraising, promoting, grant proposal writing...oh it goes on and on. Students need to log some hours, get in touch with us! Employers will know your potential if you're willing to donate your time to a selfless cause! Business if you would like to donate any services or monetarily you would be helping a great cause and would be greatly appreciated!

If this sounds exciting to you and you'd like to contribute in some way contact me, Amber O'Hara @ oharaphoto@gmail.com or Maryam Khosravipour at maryam@project3rdworldchild.org

"The things you do, both mean and kind, get done to you sometime, you'll find."
Any improvements on the individual level ultimately are improvements for the greater whole, which we are all a part of.

house/petsitting (Richmond)

2009-10-11T11:24:49-04:00

We are looking for someone to trade house/petsitting duties. We have 5 cats and 2 dogs and it's difficult to find a trustworthy volunteer or reasonable service to stay overnight, walk dogs 2x a day, etc. In the past, we have shared this responsibility with friends...when they go on vacation, we sit for them and, when we go, they help us. This would be a give-and-take, volunteer situation. That is, no exchange of money, just the care of and concern for pets. So, if you love animals, have a zoo of your own and need a vacation, let's talk.
No agencies please.

Volunteer Abroad to Help Orphans

2009-10-10T03:44:30-04:00

While many children living in orphanages have lost their parents, others were given up because their parents couldn't afford to care for them. You can make a difference by working directly with the children or by in a support capacity. Lets offer these children the chance for a better life by providing them with an education and better prospects for employment later in life. It doesn't matter if you choose to work with the children, develop programs, raise funds, or raise social awareness about the problem, you just need to care in order to make a difference.
