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.

These volunteers support support our urgent food delivery initiative. Volunteers meet at the Feed My Sheep food pantry at 11am on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month, load food bags/boxes into cars, and then deliver these food boxes to the homes of older adults within our program. CARE Connections leadership creates routes in advance based on the number of volunteers signed-up to delivery and older adults signed-up to receive food. Total duration of the volunteering activity is from 11am - ~1:30pm.

Please note: We manage volunteer sign-ups on a Google Sheet outside of the Duke Connect Community platform.

We offer a continuum of services to our older adult residents who live in Independent Living, Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing Care or Memory Care.

YOU can brighten an older adult’s day and gain real-world experience that will broaden your perspective of what you could do and who you could serve in your future career. If you are pursuing Nursing, Hospitality, Medicine, Social Work, or Music (and the list goes on) consider our volunteer opportunities as way to connect what you’re learning in the classroom with a population of folks who often come from the same professions and have so much to teach us through their lived experience.

If you like learn about different people and cultures, play games or music, listen to and tell stories or share your hobbies or technical expertise, we are the place for you. There’s no limit to the benefits social connectedness and intergenerational relationships can have on you and our residents, especially after this past year of social isolation due to COVID-19.

 Inspiring Minds is an afterschool and summer enrichment program for under-served high school students. 

Tutoring takes place in person at our building Monday and Wednesday evenings. The main goal for our volunteer tutors is to help our students both complete and understand their school work.

If you have specific questions, please contact Bree Elzy at belzy@inspiringmindsrdu.org  We look forward to working with you!

Envision your life if you lacked that one person who spoke life into you and gave you hope. So many of our students live without positive influences, someone to look up too, or even that one person who takes the time to "see" them. Sign up today to give back! Invest in today's youth like someone invested in you.

Puzzles with Purpose is looking for volunteers in the community. Each week we visit both Durham Rescue mission centers, (Women's and Children's Center & Men's Center)  and spend time puzzling with the residents. This is important because it keeps them accountable in completing their puzzles and also provides them with positive fellowship within the community. We typically spend about an hour at the facility. If you interested in helping or learning more,  please contact us via email. 

Interested in a fun and impactful outing with your organization? Come out to the Animal Park at the Conservators Center in Burlington, NC for a service group volunteer day. Activities can be adjusted to the group's abilities! Examples of past group service activities are:

The Durham Eviction Diversion Program currently seeks interns to help build websites, finalize oral history projects (transcribe interviews), conduct community outreach and education, develop K-12 curricula on housing security, and perform research-related tasks.

Interns should commit 15-20/hours week to this work, ideally spread across two or three days. All internships will be remote. Interns should have access to internet, computer, and telephone.

The Durham Eviction Diversion Program has a fast-paced work environment. Interns will work independently and collaboratively on projects with supervision by the Community Resource Coordinator (Alexis Clark). Those with a commitment to housing security and with backgrounds in computer science, the humanities, and public policy are especially encouraged to apply. 

Applicants should email their cover letter and resume to Alexis Clark (alexisc@legalaidnc.org). 

Join a group of friends of all abilities who gather weekly on Monday or Tuesday from 7-8pm to share time with one another, play games, laugh, sing, and support one another during this hard season of COVID-19. Volunteers are asked to simply commit to being present and open to building relationships of mutuality within our vibrant and neurodiverse community.  Volunteers are required to meet virtually with Reality's Volunteer Coordinator (email zach@realityministries.org) for a 30-minute orientation and must complete a volunteer application here.

Join any of our 30 Virtual Interest Groups where a small number of individuals with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities meet for an hour to build friendship through a common interest–yoga, sports, art, cooking, Bible study, you name it! Volunteers are asked to simply commit to being present and open to building relationships of mutuality within our vibrant and neurodiverse community.  Volunteers are required to meet virtually with Reality's Volunteer Coordinator (email zach@realityministries.org) for a 30-minute orientation and must complete a volunteer application here.

ACRA has a one-person staff that keeps busy with the day to day operations of our two housing facilities, Fitts-Powell Apartments and New Blevins both located in South Durham.  There is little time for development and capacity building.

Our desire and goals are to attract a new generation of volunteers and donors to our organization by using social media.  We would like to share some compelling stories from our clients, staff, and board members, letting the Durham community know that we’re here, thriving and they can help.  Everything can be done remotely utilizing email, phone and zoom meetings.

Thanks for your interest.

When you volunteer with Hope Animal Rescue, you’re giving the animals one of the greatest gifts of all — your time. Whether you’re spending one-on-one time with the animals, helping out at events or assisting in some other way, you’re helping the animals to find their forever families.

A foster parent provides a safe and loving environment for a dog until adoption. In addition to affection, foster families provide basic care such as food, water and shelter. Hope Animal Rescue pays for all vetting and preventatives, and can provide crates, toys and food when needed. Foster parents are expected to teach basic house manners such as crate, leash and house training. It is helpful if foster families can transport adoptable dogs to events or vet visits, but is not required.

To learn more about fostering and get started as a foster volunteer, submit your interest form at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/HNC/Dog.
