Volunteer: Afternoon Reading Club- Help Us Change the World!!!

Welcome to Purpose Learning Lab Literacy Program,

The reading buddies program allows older students the opportunity to develop fluency as well as a sense of pride in their accomplishments. In addition, they often come to see the value of reading. Students can not only promote good practices but gain self-esteem. Repeatedly reading easier books has been shown to improve reading abilities in poor readers, and this program provides students with a reason to read easier books.

Reading to younger students can help them develop a love of reading and a greater motivation to read. Younger students should also read to their older buddies each week, as this allows younger readers to feel a sense of accomplishment while they build fluency. Because the program provides success in literacy, students often become more positive about their ability to read and may also improve their reading skills. Ideally, buddy visits will be ongoing, and older and younger students will become familiar with one another and nurture a mutual interest in reading.

Volunteer: Help Needed for Museum of Durham History at Farmer's Markets

The Museum of Durham History is making moves this summer: we would like to attend 2 different farmer's market, each once a month, with a marketing table and some traveling exhibit materials. For this to happen, we would need lots of volunteer help to set up, staff, and break down. 

These would be both the Durham Farmer's Market at Durham Central Park and the Black Farmer's Market at Durham Tech. The first date would be April 26th at Durham Central Park, with 2 volunteer shifts: 8:30am-10:30am, and 10:30am-12:30pm. The second date would be May 4th at Durham Technical Community College, with 2 volunteer shifts: 11:30am-2:30pm and 2:30pm-4:30pm.

The setup would include a tent, a table and chairs. We would have marketing materials available for people to grab, as well as sign-up sheets for our newsletter. Most importantly, these farmer's markets will be a way for us to show off our Faces of Durham traveling exhibit. It is our goal this summer to expand into public spaces and community gatherings by bringing our historical content directly to folks outside the museum.

Volunteer: WCAC - Paparazzi Volunteer

GLAMOR SHOTS! Having a good photographer is vital for our website and social media reach. Many potential adopters look at our website prior to coming out to the Center and a picture is often the first chance at marketing our animals for adoption. A great photograph can capture the animal’s personality – making them more desirable. A bad photograph can make the animals look sick, angry, or just plain not-so-charming. The Paparazzi Team takes pictures of our animals (ideally outside for dogs and livestock – if possible – and inside for cats and critters) so people are enticed to come out and adopt. In addition, people who have lost their pet often check online for their missing animal and a quality picture could be all the difference!

If you are interested in joining our Volunteer Program, here are the requirements: 

 You must meet the necessary Essential Capabilities to safely volunteer. 

You must be over the age of 18. Eighteen is the minimum age to volunteer with us, and there are no exceptions to this rule. 

You must commit to at least six hours per month, for at least six months. We cannot accommodate single-day or short-term volunteerism.

Volunteer: WCAC - Cuddling Volunteer

Cuddlers interact with the animals that are ineligible to leave their kennel. For example, certain dogs may be ineligible to be walked outside due to age, health, medication, or length of time at the shelter. Socialization is especially important for kittens and puppies, shy adults, and those who need help with basic manners. Cuddling gives the animals the chance to stretch their legs and receive love and attention. This position helps excited dogs learn how to be calm around new people (not every interaction leads to a walk outside) and helps anxious cats trust new people, which can prevent scratching and biting habits from forming.

Volunteer: WCAC - Biography Writing Volunteer

The Biographer is a very important job within our Center.

Volunteer: Durham Book Club - Program Team

Durham Book Club (DBC) was created and is led by StrongHER TogetHER, a Durham NC-based non-profit. DBC offers middle grade students of all genders an opportunity to (1) read collectively, (2) converse with authors, (3) sharpen writing skills, (4) participate in a book-themed podcast and more.

The program is divided into four parts - DBCreads, DBCwrites, DBCtalks and DBCexplores (future). DBC is student-led in that a Student Leadership Team (SLT) makes books selections, coordinates author visits, manages social and internet messaging and makes many decisions that guide the evolution of the program.

As we enter our fifth year, we have seen DBC grow exponentially. This past year, over 400 students participated in the program in some capacity. As we enter the next phase of DBC, we are working to assemble a team of 5-6 volunteers who would be excited to divide tasks among themselves (based on interests and availability) and assist as follows:

Work alongside the SLT, which meets every 2-3 weeks for 1-1.5 hours on a weekend, sometimes in person and sometimes via zoom*Organize and Lead a summer publishing campCommunications with Reading Advocates (ie librarians) and DBC mailing listManage social mediaManage website updatesGrant writingGather stats for grants and impact reportingFurther develop advocacy / community relationships, ie Diverse Books for All, we are and Book HarvestEvent coordination, ie DBCreads author visits, DBCwrites author workshops

* These are tasks that the Student Leadership Team manages or is a part of, with reminders:

DBCtalks - Podcast developmentDBCreads - choose the books, organize book discussions at libraries, come up with activitiesAssistance with event Planning & CoordinationMarketing (something the SLT wants to do more of)

All of the books for DBCreads are provided to students in grades 5-8 for free. The writing workshops are also provided at no costs. To date, we have been able to fund these things via grants, but in the last two years, we have seen something of a drop in grant funding. For that reason, we are also excited about ways that this program can generate revenue, ie expansion of the DBC Publishing summer camp and a paid offering called DBCexplores.

As we look for a team of volunteers who would be excited to be a part of this team, the collective skills that would be most useful are:

A love of reading and writingConnection with middle grade studentsWriting skills (basic email communications, grants, impact reporting)Marketing skills (ie canva)Community Networking / PR skillsEvent planningEntrepreneurial spirit (to help us in developing revenue generation opportunities, etc)

Note that only team members with youth interface opportunities will require a background check, ie if you would be excited to be a part of this team as a grant writer or marketing/impact reporting volunteer, you would not require a background check. Volunteers that assist the student leadership team would.

Volunteer: StrongHER TogetHER - Grant Writing Team

We are looking for a 3-4 person team of individuals with previous grant-writing experience who would be excited to volunteer their skills in efforts to secure funding for non-profit StrongHER TogetHER. Currently our Executive team and board members join forces to complete grant applications, but with the growth of our program, we are finding that this is becoming more difficult from a time perspective.

We have many sample grant applications that have previously been submitted for the various parts of our program and our team can also offer details that are unique for certain applications. Our hope is that this team can (1) research and prioritize target grants, (2) divide application responsbilities such that each team member is creating narrative inputs for approximately 2-3 grants per year (3) edit all grants based on team member feedback and (4) respond to grant reports as required.

StrongHER TogetHER is 100% volunteer-led and we are finding that this team approach is working well with other parts of our program. We are hopeful that a Grant Writing Team is yet another way we can tap into the skills of the "village" as we work to secure continued funding for our work with Durham youth.

Volunteer: Farm Workday Volunteer

Open volunteer days are on Saturdays from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. during the cooler months and 8 a.m. - 11 a.m. during the high heat of summer.

Assist in spreading mulch, weeding, and other various farm activities (depending on the season) in the Community Garden and inground growing area of Catawba Trail Farm. We do spread lots of mulch! Why? Mulch will reduce the growth of grass in the general areas of the garden as well as reduce standing water, mulch in the beds will add nutrients as the mulch turns to soil and mulch in the traditional growing area will add nutrients to the soil and reduce water erosion. Additionally, keeping areas weed-free helps protect crop growth and reduce disease. Other activities may involve supporting hoop house cultivation, maintaining compost, or transplanting native plants throughout our forest and hiking areas.

Volunteer: Well-Check Calls

Student volunteers are paired with 3-5 older adults in the community who have signed-up to participate in the CARE Connections program. Volunteers call their "senior partner" weekly (or at another interval decided between them) to check-in. In addition to discussing access to healthcare, medications, transportation, food, and other social drivers, we encourage callers to spend time chatting with their partner, learning about their lives and interests. The weekly well-check calls are the foundation of the program: our goal is to establish authentic and trusting relationships that decrease social isolation and connect older adults to community resources.

For new callers, we provide training, scripts, and educational videos to support the well-check calls. Prior to volunteering with us, potential volunteers must complete our volunteer application and intake (including form submission, completion of 2 LMS modules if uncompleted, and viewing of our training material). A member of the leadership team will reach out via email to walk through the volunteer initiation process upon submission of the application.
