Design a logo for an entrepreneur!
The Opportunity: Having a strong and consistent brand identity is essential for small businesses to build brand recognition, acquire customers and drive sales. However, many entrepreneurs don’t have the budget, time or skills needed to design a logo that reflects their brand’s identity. That’s where you come in! Our virtual logo design project is the perfect opportunity if you are looking to volunteer your time and talent to support small businesses and the innovators behind them. Are you a good fit? You have at least 3 years of professional experience in logo design and are located in the United States or in a country with overlapping timezones (e.g Canada, Mexico). What will you be doing? Once approved as a volunteer, you will have access to our opportunity list and logo design projects available. You will then connect one-on-one with an entrepreneur to scope out the project and deliverables, and ultimately design a logo for their business. What is the time commitment? Logo design projects typically last between 30 and 45 days, depending on your availability. This includes some preparation and design time (flexible to your schedule) and interactions with the entrepreneur (via email, phone or video conferencing). This is a limited-scope opportunity with a clear deliverable and end date. Does Start Small Think Big provide resources to get started? We provide information about the entrepreneur, their business and their needs, and, if available, a design brief from the entrepreneur with input on their brand colors, fonts and other relevant information. Ready to use your skills for good? Join our passionate community of volunteers by completing your volunteer application here: https://www.startsmallthinkbig.org/volunteer. We welcome multilingual volunteers, particularly those able to support Spanish-speaking small business owners.

Of the 61 million children worldwide who cannot attend primary school, 17 million will never step foot into a school if trends continue.

The learners we serve are typically from low-income families which cannot afford to pay for education; in some cases, the parents may not even have had the opportunity to attend school.

The volunteer would contribute to the development of tools that enable the community to translate lessons into multiple languages, or improve the learning experience for under-resourced learners around the world who use the platform to learn. We currently have openings available on the Web and Android teams! Important! To get started, please don't submit an application through VolunteerMatch. Instead, please follow the instructions on our GitHub wiki pages: Web: https://github.com/oppia/oppia/wiki/Contributing-code-to-Oppia#setting-things-up Android: https://github.com/oppia/oppia-android/wiki/Contributing-to-Oppia-android#onboarding-instructions This is important because we receive multiple applications per day through VolunteerMatch and don't have the capacity to reply to each one. In contrast, the wiki instructions above provide all the information needed for you to get started with the project in a fully self-service way :) Who Are We? The Oppia Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with the mission to provide high quality education to all. We do this through the creation and maintenance of our platform, Oppia (https://www.oppia.org), the coordination of our passionate contributors, and the development of critical partnerships with NGOs in the communities we aim to serve. Even before COVID-19, students around the world were facing difficulties accessing quality education due to conflict, discrimination, lack of teacher training, and more. However, with COVID-19 forcing everyone to stay quarantined in their own homes, students now more than ever need access to free, quality education to ensure that they can continue to learn even if they cannot attend school. Why Oppia is an Organization You Want to Work With Oppia has served over 2,000,000 users. Oppia focuses on effectiveness, and conducts rigorous user testing and RCTs to validate the lessons we offer.

Oppia has a community of hundreds of passionate volunteers from across the globe, so our meetings are held online at flexible times. What our Software Development team contributes Software developers will work closely with other volunteer developers around the world, Oppia's design team, and NGOs in various countries who are in direct contact with students, in order to implement features and key functionality to help learners and translators. The team is very collaborative and has a culture of providing and receiving constructive feedback through code reviews.

VIRTUAL My Brothers Keeper Mentoring for Black & Hispanic Male Youth
Through the VIRTUAL My Brothers Keeper mentoring program for Black and Hispanic middle and high school males via Skype or other online video platform. The virtual program will help underserved youth who have not been able to go to school to receive these services, have experienced learning loss in or do not have access to learn computer science, and who need support because they have been impacted more than other students during the COVID-19 health pandemic. Mentors should meet virtually at least 1 hour a week in a 1 on 1 virtual meeting with a student or a group of students. In that meeting, you and the student may discuss any of the following topics: Career and college topics in developing tech skills as well as business skills. Life skills, perseverance, leadership, critical thinking, collaboration, communication, creativity, and character development are also important mentoring topics. Business topics our students need are entrepreneurship and tech startup skills development. Some tech topics we hope mentors may also address with the students are cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, software engineering, and physical computing. Volunteers who are STEM, business, and computer science professionals from ethnically diverse backgrounds are especially needed to participate as tech role models for our students so that the young men see people who reflect their identities in the tech industry. In addition, the financial contributions and donations you make to support this program and any help you can provide with fundraising efforts are appreciated. Your support makes our world a better place.

Are you a persuasive storyteller? Help Oppia secure grants to support free education
with OPPIA FOUNDATION INCIf you’re interested in grantwriting and storytelling for impact, with the aim of helping underserved children gain access to education, this is the volunteer role for you! Oppia is looking for passionate individuals to join our Grants and Fundraising Team to help secure the financial sustainability of the organization and enable Oppia to continue providing free educational services for underserved learners around the world who are unable to afford them. To get started, please fill in this form: https://forms.gle/5hwbq9c6AUYdzFqh7 Who We Are The Oppia Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with the mission to provide high quality education to all. We do this through the creation and maintenance of our free-to-use platform, Oppia (https://www.oppia.org), the coordination of our passionate contributors, and the development of critical partnerships with NGOs in the communities we aim to serve. Where You Fit In Millions of children are not receiving the education they deserve. Of the 61 million children worldwide who cannot attend primary school, 17 million will never step foot into a school if trends continue. In the wake of COVID-19, millions more children are also seeing interruptions in their daily lives, stability, and education - making it even more difficult than before for many students to get the education they need to succeed. The learners we serve are typically from low-income families which cannot afford to pay for education; in some cases, the parents may not even have had the opportunity to attend school. Thus, to maintain and improve the services that we offer to them, it is important to source funding that allows us to cover the cost of offering these services. We generally aim to fund operating expenses through individual donations, but there are several major projects we are undertaking (such as core improvements to the website and Android app based on feedback from learners and volunteers) that will require grant funding in order to succeed. We are currently seeking strong writers who can help with grant and funding applications. This process includes helping to collate impact stories and metrics, describing the organization’s current and proposed activities in a clear and readable way, and compiling the application material for specific grants. We welcome individuals who are willing to learn and grow through this opportunity, and would be happy to guide those without prior experience in grant writing. Why Oppia is an Organization You Want to Work With Oppia has served over 2,000,000 users. Oppia focuses on effectiveness, and conducts rigorous user testing and RCTs to validate the lessons we offer. Learners using Oppia’s lessons have seen gains of 50+% from pre-test to post-test. Oppia's contributors actively help to provide students around the world with basic education. Please see https://medium.com/@ebelubhuhiose/86b97283edf4 and https://medium.com/@ojobusayo99/6e783aaddb74 for examples of our current work. Oppia has a community of hundreds of passionate volunteers from across the globe, so our meetings are held online at flexible times. What Our Grants and Fundraising Team Contributes Develop and submit grant proposals and letters of inquiry. Prepare and compile the components of grant submissions, and ensure that they meet granting agency requirements. Prepare relevant materials to support grants and fundraising activities, such as narratives describing program activities, concept papers, and success stories. If you’d like to help out, please fill in our application form: https://forms.gle/5hwbq9c6AUYdzFqh7 . Thank you!

Adult Literacy Tutor-Be the Positive Change in Cleveland (Virtual Tutoring)
with Seeds of LiteracyGot a soft spot for sentence composition? Love long division or adore algebra? How about sharing your everyday reading, writing, and math skills with a dedicated adult learner in your community? Seeds of Literacy, an award-winning nonprofit organization that provides free GED prep and basic education to adults in the Cleveland area, has an urgent need for people just like you to volunteer as adult literacy tutors. The shocking truth is that an estimated 66% of adults in Cleveland are functionally illiterate, and may struggle with everyday necessities like reading a bus schedule and understanding medication labels. This is where you can make a very real difference! Tutors work one-to-one with students to improve reading, writing, and math skills, offer encouragement and support, and help students develop positive attitudes towards learning. Generally we ask that tutors come to one class session per week for one year. We can, however, make accommodations for those with special circumstances. Classes are two hours long, and we offer a flexible class schedule with sessions scheduled throughout the day to accommodate personal preference and availability. Tutoring sessions take place in our Virtual Classroom on Zoom. You don’t have to be an educator to help - we’ll train you. To start the process, please complete the Volunteer Application: https://www.seedsofliteracy.org/volunteer-application/

Attorneys - help victims of child abuse
with JUSTICE FOR CHILDRENLegal services are a frequent need for clients that contact Justice for Children. Keeping their child safe from an abuser may require protective orders, divorce from an abuser, the need to establish or modify child custody and, many times, child support. Many of the victimized children we work with are the product of unmarried parents creating a need for the establishment of paternity. These clients lack the monetary resources to hire attorneys. The abuse of their child and lack of immediate resources to access services desperately places them in a crisis mode and highly emotional making the process even more daunting to them.

Compeer Calling Volunteer
WHAT IS THE COMPEER PROGRAM? "Compeer" means a companion who is also a peer or equal. Loneliness, failure, fear and loss of self-esteem are universal experiences of those who suffer from a mental illness. A caring friend can help restore joy and hope to a life that is often empty of both. Compeer is a non-profit program which matches caring, sensitive, and trained volunteers with mental health service recipients in one-to-one friendship relationships. WHO ARE COMPEER VOLUNTEERS? Compeer volunteers are individuals of all ages, walks of life, races, and religions who enjoy companionship and helping people. Many of them have had experiences with loneliness and difficult times in their own lives, which enables them to bring a special understanding to the Compeer relationship. They are screened, trained, and matched by Compeer and the referring therapists. The volunteers must also submit references to help assure reliability and consistency. In addition to having fun together, the volunteer may be able to advocate on behalf of their friend concerning housing, disabilities, etc. The volunteer is not a therapist but a friend who becomes a helpful part of the mental health team. HOW DO I GET A COMPEER VOLUNTEER? Anyone currently involved in mental health therapy (in a hospital, day treatment program, mental health clinic, rehabilitation program or with a private practitioner) can request a referral to Compeer from his/ her therapist. Compeer will then make every effort to arrange a volunteer as quickly as possible. WAYS TO VOLUNTEER 1) One-to-One Friendship - 4 hours a month 2) Compeer Calling Volunteer - 10-15 minutes a week 3) E-Buddy Volunteer - contact primarily through email, texting, and/or electronic communication 4) Pen Pal - written correspondence ( letters, cards ) at least twice year month to offer support 5) Member of Compeer Advisory Board - volunteer serves to help on the Compeer Advisory Board to give input and decision making. Advisors meet four times a year. 6) Donation and Fundraising volunteer 7) Plan different events for the veterans community 8) Help with podcast planning - Untold Valor Podcast - Voice & Vision, Inc. (voiceandvisioninc.org) Training can be done in person and virtually online using Zoom. To arrange a volunteer orientation, please respond with some dates and times you are available for a training. Office hours are by appointment, on weekdays, between 10:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. If this does not work for you, we can arrange a meeting in the evening, to accommodate your schedule.

Help Now! Advocacy is now searching for a new development director who will lead the organization into sustainability as it continues to transform itself and its nationally-unique services from a local organization that has served 9300+ clients over the past 18 years into a virtual and national organization now offering our services through the first-ever national advocacy hotline for individuals and families in crisis.

While we are looking for an individual who has the ability to work without pay for a period of time as funding is procured for the position, we also expect this to become a fully paid position with benefits within a reasonable period of time with pay growing as the organization grows. Applicants should be clear that the magnitude of their contributions/funding procured as a volunteer DD will be a very strong consideration when a determination is made by our board of directors as to who fills that paid position. If sustainable funding has been created by this individual while in the volunteer DD position, unless there is some other unforeseen consideration that would come into the hiring assessment, it is highly likely that the individual would be placed in the paid position.

Be a lifeline to an isolated needy senior - become their phone buddy!
The pandemic has increased the loneliness of our elderly population. Millions of seniors are disconnected from friends and family, many without a computer or car to engage with the outside world. They feel forgotten. As a result, their emotional and physical health has been severely compromised. Loneliness-induced depression, heart disease, obesity, and other diseases have increased for seniors in the last few years. Our weekly phone buddies provide a vital human connection to the most needy seniors in our society. You will be a lifeline - a warm voice, an empathic presence, a consistent and reliable friend. The next volunteer training will take place in May, 2024. To be considered for training, you'll have a phone interview, a reference check, and an online application. Please contact our volunteer recruitment coordinator marcia@friendlyvoices.org for more details. At this time, we are only accepting volunteers age 40+.

WordPress Plugin & Crowdfund Web Developer - Hedonista Crowdfund
Human sexuality is a taboo subject for open discussion in most countries of the world. Yet the realities of its effect on humanity cannot be ignored. The Hedonista CrowdFund Platform seeks to address sexual pleasure and dysfunction in practical ways that can be personally healing or commercially viable. We seek a volunteer, proficient in WordPress, to help develop a crowdfunding startup for sex-positive entrepreneurs. This crowdfund platform will also provide help to those who have endured sex-negative experiences. Working on our campaign gave us the idea to crowdfund sex-positive ideas that address a personal or societal dysfunction. We would use a similar coding infrastructure as traditional crowdfunding sites such as Kickstarter and GoFundMe. However, there would be additional safeguards and other features to reflect the adult nature of the site. Sex-Positive Funding: There are many ethical and erotic ideas that entrepreneurs have from around the world that they are unable to realize because of a lack of funds. An ethical or activist erotic business is one that addresses problems in human sexuality with a product or service. Sex-Negative Funding: There are many areas of human sexuality which are dysfunctional. In those areas, there are potential products or services that can address areas of sexual dysfunction and make a sustainable income. Being able to raise funds related to sexual healing could address many problems related to the negative effects of sexuality in the world. The Hedonista Crowdfund development project would help people to fulfill their sensual entrepreneur dreams or escape sexual nightmares. Dysfunctional sexuality the root of so many problems in societies. This project has the potential to reach every citizen of every country in the world. Our site is in Wordpress. There are currently crowdfund plugins that we can use to implement a crowdfund on our site.

Simply make a little extra when cooking for yourself and/or your family!

Contact Laurie Murry, Volunteer Coordinator to share your interest. 2. Purchase, pick up (at the Homeland Hospice office) or have delivered to your home, the materials that are needed (listed below). We understand that not everyone may be able to purchase the needed materials, but if you can, it is a huge help not only financially, but also in helping to save a lot of staff time. 3.

All of the meals can be the same, or they can be varied, that is up to you. 4. Complete an info sheet that includes the ingredients (due to allergies) and warming instructions. The Information sheet is provided by Homeland Hospice. 5. Wrap the casseroles in foil (no lids, please. They come off and are hard to work with), place casserole or soup in a gallon freezer bag, along with your information sheet, and freeze. 4. When you have several meals, either deliver them to Homeland Hospice (schedule a time with the volunteer coordinator), or schedule a time for the volunteer coordinator to pick up. Again, if you are able to deliver, that is very helpful! 5. The casseroles and soups are kept in a freezer at Homeland Hospice and delivered by staff and/or a volunteer to families as they need them. MATERIALS NEEDED: (these can either be provided by Homeland Hospice or purchased/picked-up by the volunteer) 1. 8" x 8" aluminum casserole pans and/or 32 ounce plastic soup containers 2. Aluminum Foil - to wrap the casseroles 3. Gallon Size Freezer Bags - to place the casseroles and soups in (the 8" x 8" pans fit nicely!).

PAWS (Pets Are Wonderful Supporters) - Dauphin, Cumberland, and York Counties
with Homeland HospiceHarrisburg, PA 17110It's Flexible! We'll work with your scheduleMAKE A DOG-GONE DIFFERENCE IN A HOSPICE PATIENT'S DAY! Share your four-legged best friend and provide comfort, peace, and soothing companionship to terminally ill patients receiving services from Homeland Hospice! A half hour/hour visit between a patient and an animal promotes activity, conversation and emotional connection. Often, simply the presence of the dog, cat, rabbit, or other pet is all that is required to promote the positive effects. However, patients, caregivers and family can interact with your best friend as they would with any pet: Tossing a ball or toy for the animal to fetch Enjoying the presence of the animal in silence Talking to, petting, holding, hugging or cuddling with the animal Enjoying playful animal tricks and commands such as sitting, rolling over, or shaking hands Pets and handlers must be certified. Pet certification organizations, like K-Pets or Caring Hearts Pet therapy, offer courses that allow handlers and their pets to learn techniques that help to ensure the utmost safety for the patients and for the animal. Obtaining certification allows both handler and animal to have the training needed to be prepared to interact with patients, caregivers, and families. Requirements for pets making visits include: Being effectively house trained Having no history of aggressive behavior and welcome human interaction Displaying obedience to commands such as "sit," "stay", and "come." Having all appropriate and up-to-date vaccinations Being of a certain age depending on species Hospice pet visits are so much more than a simple visit with an animal. Animals and their handlers have the unique ability to bring transformative joy and comfort to patients. Hospice pet visits, using the longstanding bond between humans and animals, brings joy, humor, unconditional love, and soothing companionship to those on the end-of-life journey. Volunteers must complete an orientation program which can be done as a self study in the comfort of your home and at your own pace. Volunteers also must complete a background check and 2- Step PPD (TB) Test. Any costs are paid for by Homeland Hospice. Needs exist today - in your community - and we would welcome the opportunity to talk more with you about how to get connected! * Homeland Hospice's office is located in Harrisburg, but serves 14 South Central PA counties, including - Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Northumberland, Perry, Schuylkill, and York. Volunteers share where it is that they would like to serve - near home or work, in a patient's home or a facility. * All CDC guidelines are followed and education on safe visiting is provided.

Seasonal Yard Work Volunteer- Gardeners PA
with Homeland HospiceGardners, PA 17324It's Flexible! We'll work with your scheduleMany people state that their preferred place of death is to die at home. Unfortunately, some dying people are not able to realize this wish as there has to be a good plan in place - meaning, enough people and resources to keep that person at home. You can help Homeland Hospice with granting this wish to more people by assisting with seasonal yard work, and small building and home repair projects. Spring clean-up, mowing grass, raking leaves, shoveling snow, changing a light bulb, once an everyday task, can become impossible for Hospice patients and their families. Whether you are part of a group looking for a single day project, or you are an individual able to commit to helping every week, Homeland Hospice would welcome your service and time. We will do our best to match you with the right project to benefit one or more of our patients. Specific help is needed now in the Gardners, PA area. *All CDC guidelines are followed and volunteers are educated on Covid-19 safety protocol.
