The volume of material we aim to preserve is significant and we rely heavily on volunteers to help digitize these records. We provide training on the use of the digitization and image processing equipment which are both easy to learn. For indexing, we are eager to find volunteers with some experience looking at old records and reading handwriting, but we also provide training on this. High School students are encouraged to sign up. We can accommodate afterschool hours (2 or 3pm until 5 pm). A typical volunteer shift is 2-4 hours during office hours (Monday - Friday, 9am - 5 pm). Interest in genealogy is welcome, but not mandatory. Volunteers should be very comfortable using a mouse, looking at a screen, and sitting in a chair or standing at a desk for 2-4 hours.

  It's Flexible! We'll work with your schedule

  Parker Jewish Institute’s Comprehensive Community Hospice has been providing highly specialized care to terminally ill patients since 1997 and welcomes volunteers of all ages and backgrounds. Hospice volunteers are a special group of people that use their time and talents to enrich the quality of life for our patients and their families as the end of life approaches. Hospice volunteers enhance the quality of life and help reduce the burden for family caregivers by providing support, assistance, in patient’s homes, in nursing homes, and assisted living facilities. To be a volunteer, there is no special requirement other than a sincere desire to help people and the ability to listen. The most important thing you can do is be there for patients to reassure them they are not alone. It is not an easy undertaking, but it can enrich your life well as patients and families. Hospice volunteers can commit to as little or as much time as they wish. Some volunteers provide several hours of service each week while others commit to a few hours each month. Serving as valued members of the hospice team, for just a few hours of your time you can make a significant impact on the lives of patients and their loved ones. There are many opportunities to share your time and talents as a volunteer and support patients, their loved ones dealing with end of life. Opportunities include: Hospice Doulas Bereavement/Grief Patient Friendly Visits Legacy Projects Administrative Support Community Education Help Recruiting Other Volunteers Note: We ask that those who have recently lost a loved one wait a year before becoming a hospice volunteer. You are welcome to participate in our bereavement programs during this time. All hospice volunteers receive extensive training. Depending the type of volunteering, training is can range from 6-18 hours. All volunteers must complete our new volunteer orientation.

  with Seeds in the Middle
  Brooklyn, NY 11212
  Sat, March 23, 2024 - Thu, June 20, 2024

  Communities of color are suffering disproportionately from COVID-19. Their death rates from this devastating virus are twice or 3 times the rate of wealthier communities. Nutrition is key to building your immune system and fighting off deadly viruses. Unfortunately, many communities of color live in "food deserts" - places where nutritious fresh fruits and vegetables are far away or too expensive. This is why Seeds in the Middle is focusing on schools and places in these food deserts, or food-insecure neighborhoods. We are seeking to build 10 farm stands with gardens in schools in central Brooklyn's poorest neighborhoods. One exciting project is at PS-IS 178 and Brooklyn Collegiate High School in Ocean Hill-Brownsville. If you can help us build hoop houses, garden beds, or even offer used tools and materials to build gardens so the students can grow year-round, please step up. We mainly work Wednesdays from 10:30 am to 3:30 pm - but there may be weekend work Wednesdays - we also hold a farm stand, where students sell farm fresh fruits and vegetables for affordable prices and where we can accept food stamps, EBT and more... If you can help in any way, or just want to donate, please email us at info@seedsinthemiddle.org See the project at bit.ly/hip2bhealthy178 Info: 862-701-3858 Many thanks.

The markets are generally on Wednesdays, Thursdays or Fridays, set up starting at about 12:30-1 - and breakdown between 4-5:30p. - you can volunteer for a date and come even for 2 hours. Our markets also need your help to advertise to the community, offering healthy recipes or doing cooking demos to attract people, maybe delivering bags to seniors or those in need in nearby buildings. If you have any experience running farm stands or gardens or farms, and believe in teaching people "to fish" so they can ensure they have fresh food markets like others in more affluent places, this may be for you. You need to commit to come at least 4 times... and And be screened by the director. This is a great internship possibility for those interesting in tackling food injustice, and building food equity, and fighting food insecurity. If there are other markets you'd like to help at - just go to our volunteer page at https://bit.ly/volunteerwithseeds See all our markets - https://bit.ly/seedsinthemiddlemap

About PANDEMIC PROFESSORS, INC. Location: 512 W 156th St., Apt 22, New York City, NY 10032, US Mission Statement: The mission of Pandemic Professors is to facilitate free tutoring to children in low-income communities impacted by the pandemic. Description: At Pandemic Professors (Pan Prof), we believe all K-12 students deserve an opportunity to receive free supplemental learning through private tutoring, in order to help them remain on track and meet their educational goals. Our organization was founded to match underserved students across the United States with free online tutors. Historically, students in underserved communities are at greater risk of falling behind in academics and socio-emotional skills. Much like Hurricane Katrina, the COVID-19 crisis has exacerbated the plethora of academic and personal challenges these students already face. Our organization presents students in low-income communities with opportunities to strengthen subject comprehension and boost confidence. The needs, strengths, and voices of the impacted students drive our family-centered philosophy and evidence-based practices. Together with our partners, Pan Prof combats adverse effects on learning resulting from the pandemic and exacerbated by poverty. Students in underserved communities don’t lack a hunger for knowledge, they lack the means to access quality tutoring. Pan Prof provides effective tools for students to complete their K-12 education until the educational gap is resolved. We sincerely hope you consider joining us to improve the lives of students adversely affected by poverty and the pandemic.

  with EVLOVES
  East 6th Street638 E 6th Street(Between Aves B + C)New York, NY 10009
  It's Flexible! We'll work with your schedule

  EVLoves NYC (https://www.evloves.nyc/) is an amazing non-profit organization that serves our food-insecure neighbors. We cook and package meals every week to distribute to groups around the city. Lots of meals. Upwards of 2000 meals every Sunday. We are always looking for volunteers to join our team. Working here seems to appeal to a wide variety of people - students, artists, musicians, writers, bartenders, and lawyers. There are lots of East Village locals but people travel from all over the city to work with us every week. It's fun, noisy (we often have a DJ!), and rewarding. Each Sunday morning, we get together on the ground floor of a community center on East 6th Street. The teams who do prep and cooking start at 9:00; those of us who get the food into packages and boxes start at 12:00; the clean-up crew starts around 2:30. Beginning at about 1pm, bikes, cars and trucks start arriving to pick up the boxes and distribute our meals to people and community refrigerators throughout the five boroughs. It's pretty cool and very volunteer-dependent. Recently, we've also been collecting food and supplies for the asylum seekers who've been coming to New York, so some of the volunteers are sorting clothes and shoes, creating care packages and helping with distribution at the community center where we work. All volunteers must be at least 18 years old and must be fully vaccinated. Health department requirements for people working with hot food include wearing closed-toe shoes (no sandals), a hat or scarf to cover your hair, long pants, and a shirt with sleeves. Thanks!
