Comfort Kits
When we transition someone into their own home, they often don’t have everything they need and must wait weeks to get those supplies. It can be challenging for them if they don’t have a TV to watch, a book to read, or crafts/games to keep themselves busy during that period. Additionally, with the current COVID-19 pandemic, our on-site supportive housing residents (and shelter residents) have been left with fewer options to keep themselves busy and enjoy their free time. It has been a tremendous challenge for our residents who are used to spending their time visiting friends and family as well as visiting congregate community spaces that are no longer available. As human beings, we all deserve to relax and entertain ourselves as we navigate life. Help out our residents by providing with them Comfort Kits! Please assemble the following items in bags, backpacks, tupperware containers, or gallon Ziploc bags. Adult-focused Comfort Kits: Adult coloring books Journal or notebook Gift cards (e.g., coffee shop, grocery store, etc.) Art Supplies such as... Sketchbooks, watercolor or other painting supplies, colored pencils, markers, etc. LED battery-operated candles ( example) Crosswords, sudoku, or word puzzles Bath bomb or bath salts (must be new and unopened) Chocolates or candy (must be new and unopened) Origami kit Sewing kit Card game Board game Puzzles (500 piece or less preferred) Sculptors clay set Books (e.g., related to self care or self growth) Pre-teen and older youth-focused Comfort Kits: Gift cards (e.g., Target, clothing stores, game stores, etc.) Headphones/Earbuds Art Supplies such as... Sketchbooks, watercolor or other painting supplies, colored pencils, markers, etc. "Adult" coloring books (ones containing greater detail work) Chocolates or candy (must be new and unopened - allergen friendly is a plus) Journal or notebook Card game Board game Puzzles (500 piece or less preferred) Sculptors clay set Books Child-focused Comfort Kits: Journals/notebooks Adult coloring books Markers/colored pencils/crayons Gift cards (e.g., toy stores, game stores, etc.) Arts and craft supplies Clay sculpting kits Playdoh Bubbles Watercolor painting supplies Finger painting supplies Paint by number Origami kit Fidget Spinners Sensory Toys Cards or card games Small board games Puzzles Mind games/riddle book Crossword puzzles/sudoku/other related games Small, electronic games You are welcome to include any combination of the above list, or to include other items you think would be beneficial. We just ask you avoid real candles (these are not allowed in our buildings for safety purposes) and ensure items are new or in like-new condition (i.e., journals have not been written in, puzzles have all their pieces, no items have rips, stains, or tears, etc.). Reach out to Abby Abele at Abigail.Abele@AgateMN.org or 612-715-0449 with any questions, or to schedule a drop off of assembled baskets. Thank you for your generosity and support of our mission to end homelessness and relieve hunger through action and advocacy.

US TEEN penpals needed for Kenyan teens!!
Marafiki Penpal Program - SO IMPORTANT!! Marifiki means "friend" in Swahili. In 2020, NTS launched our penpal program to match our Kenyan students with U.S. high school students. Everyone exchanges letters each month.It's hard to believe in this hyper-connected world but for the NTS students, this is their first contact with a peer outside of Kenya! It’s also a chance to practice both written and spoken English, and to learn about another culture. We are expanding the program and seek 10 new penpals from the United States who will begin NOW. You must commit to a minimum of a year and a half, writing monthly. Every month, your penpal will send you a letter and then you will write back. Each letter is guided by an NTS staff member, so you'll have plenty of support. Students already in the program have been writing for nearly 2 years, watching their Kenyan penpals grow as their English skills improve. Who We Are NTS a not-for-profit 3-year vocational school located in the Nyamboyo Village in southwestern Kenya. We provide professional, technical education to the economically disadvantaged teens and young adults of the community. Our students are ages 14-20 and all have family histories of poverty, lack of education and job opportunities, and chronic food insecurity. At NTS, they receive professional vocational training, 3 meals a day to combat hunger and malnutrition, English-language classes, computer training, and daily COVID-safe sports activities. Our students thrive professionally, physically, and psychologically.

We conduct this research with the goal of allowing people to make informed decisions about their health and to increase access to healthy stress-coping alternatives. These healthy coping mechanisms can reduce reliance on harmful self-medication practices such as alcohol abuse or behavior likely to lead to opioid addiction. Value Proposition: Tinctures, teas and powders from herbal medicine combinations can represent better risk/reward ratios Through citizen science and data science over time we have the aspirational goal to meet and exceed evidence parity with regards to evidence of effectiveness for herbal medicines for stress & anxiety compared with pharmaceuticals. That mission is attractive for people to participate in as its an opportunity for global collaboration to create increasingly usable natural medicine for stress and anxiety.

You will research and analyze financial information to help company make well informed decisions, write reports and monitor financial movements.Forest Fire Prevention Derivatives, CrowdDoing, Volunteer Financial Analyst See more detailed background on CrowdDoing's forest fire prevention derivatives https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dBp_HUr-tCCNaeGoSDfPrirRPbaoV3X4/view?usp=sharing Forest Fire Risk Prevention Derivatives in Northern California Bobby Fishkin, lead author In 2018, Sacramento was named the "the Most Polluted City on Earth" due to "smoke from Camp Fire," This proposal aims to prevent that from happening again through adopting a systemic approach and collaborating with stakeholders to actively prevent future such events. The insurance industry, along with institutional chief risk officers, have begun to recognize the importance of moving from "loss compensation to loss prevention." CrowdDoing and Project Heather propose launching a prevention derivative with two new stakeholders: (a) contingent payers who pay in proportion to the reduction in risk, and (b) impact investors who finance social innovations in which their return is similarly proportional to the reduction in risk. It will build on existing precedents for contingent contracts involving social- innovation-based risk prevention. Financial Analyst Volunteer, Forest Fire Prevention Derivatives, CrowdDoing A spectrum of forest fire risk prevention approaches are available: from creative new social innovations to well-established interventions. The forest fire risk prevention derivative would first survey existing forest fire prevention interventions in Greater Sacramento with an eye towards which ones might be suitable to support and expand. It would then review global social innovations that might be relevant to Northern California to determine which to replicate. Entities involved in risk management and risk securitisation, from insurers to reinsurers to retrocessionaires, ought to welcome the chance to share liability proportionally through a commons of prevention innovations. The prevention derivative can expand as more institutions and individuals join as contingent payers and impact investors in order prevent a larger portion of collective risk . Payments by private and public institutions to support prevention derivatives can be in-kind, through services, and/or financial. Staffing Specialist Volunteer, Forest Fire Prevention Derivatives, CrowdDoing The goal will be to facilitate the effective management of programs according to the organization’s standards. Advertise job openings across multiple channels (e.g. job boards, careers pages and social platforms) Coordinate with department managers and team leaders to identify current and future hiring needs Manage candidates’ information (e.g. resumes and contact details) in our Applicant Tracking System Conduct pre-volunteer screening, like getting references and performing background checks Prepare monthly, quarterly and annual hiring status reports Design procedures for each hiring stage, including assessments and interview questions Liaise with college alumni associations Ensure proper onboarding for new hires Staffing Specialist Volunteer, Forest Fire Prevention Derivatives, CrowdDoing Requirements Proven work experience as a Staffing Specialist, or similar role Familiarity with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATSs) and resume databases Experience with interviewing and evaluating candidates (using phone/Skype screening, structured interviews and tests) Solid organizational skills with the ability to maintain updated physical and digital employee records Excellent communication skills BSc in Human Resources Management or relevant field "To help support you joining the right part of CrowdDoing for you, please use this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSftd6E0tyV2uq7mMty1rZ80BB2MSGhbnof9gRBvaQXbrttIkg/viewform?usp=sf_link" The only way CrowdDoing.world can realize its impact potential is through virtual volunteers, service learners (http://blog.reframeit.com/service-learning-and-skilled-volunteering/), and micro-leaders ( https://real-leaders.com/leveraging-micro-leadership-to-make-aspirational-goals-achievable/ ) coming together.

While in Hawaii you will be given the ability to completely vacation, visit all the tourist attractions, visit every single beach. You'll have access to a 2022 Toyota 4Runner, 2018 Tesla 3, living in a highrise condo overlooking the ocean (view included). 2 brand new jet skis for ocean activities. A scooter/motorcycle & eBikes. You'll have the opportunity to be trained to fully run this organization, but only if you so choose. Running the charity is secondary to your primary responsibility of caregiving. Your choice to move to Hawaii after the success or failure of the transplant will be an opportunity you'll be given to include the same housing, same opportunities as your pre-surgery vacation. For this return vacation to Hawaii you'll need to agree to be trained to operate this organization. After your arrival in Hawaii & notice that available caregivers are present, then the insurance will start making plans to relocate all parties involved to a suitable housing location as close as possible to Stanford University Hospital. There the hospital staff will fully train all individuals how to fully take care of the patient. After surgery the patient remains in the hospital for approximately 2 weeks During this time the patient should be able to regain his ability to use a bathroom on his own & the responsibility of wiping his butt will not fall on the volunteers responsibility. Your biggest responsibility will be providing medications on a strict schedule. Taught what to look for in the patient, like signs of infection. The patient was one of the 1st people in America to purchase (2-2-2020) & use (continually) a face mask. It's very important that the prospective volunteers actively follow COVID responsible COVID behaviors, like masking up around others, sanitizing, and wearing a mask in public. Exceptions will be when at home because we need to trust you'll practice safe COVID protocols while in public. We understand the risk of COVID is not dangerous for people, unless the person takes specific medications which restrict COVID patients from utilizing post COVID medication, PLAXOVID. This opportunity is an equal opportunity employment opportunity. We are looking for male or female. Any pronoun choice. Any race. Any age. Any sexual orientation. This will be a sexual harrasment free zone.
