Volunteers are trained to enhance the overall goal of meeting the physical, emotional, spiritual and practical needs of hospice patients and their families. Volunteering can be as simple as sitting by the bedside, listening with compassion, playing music, reading a book, helping create a scrapbook, and as needed, offering support, providing relief for the family members and caregivers. Volunteers do not provide clinical or personal care, but can provide social visits to a patient, or give the caregiver a little break, or time to rest. Volunteers can be a caring companion and compassionate listener to both patients and families. Volunteers can also assist with routine tasks and errands. Our requirements: Volunteers take part in an enriching self-paced, online training program that can be done at home, plus we offer ongoing support to existing volunteers. Volunteers work with Volunteer Program Coordinator as members of the multi-disciplinary hospice team. For the safety of yourself and our patients you will be required to wear a mask. All personal protective gear will be provided by us. Sutter also provides certain vaccinations or test for immunity if you don't have access to your vaccination records. Sutter requires an annual TB test, an up-to-date TDAP, MMR and Covid vaccination. Volunteers do not visit Covid + patients or enter facilities that have a Covid outbreak. Call Jennifer Fisher, Volunteer Program Specialist if you would like an application or have questions about how to become a music volunteer for hospice patients. 650-454-4372 or Email: Jennifer.Fisher@sutterhealth.org

  NORTH AMERICA ONLY Hi there, We need PR assistance with a documentary on the legacy of Black farmers. We kicked off a 12 Month - 12 City Tour in September 2022. Rhythms of the Land Documentary by Dr. Gail P. Myers During the summer of 2012, Dr. Myers toured 10 southern states -- Texas, Arkansas, South Carolina, North Carolina, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee and Florida -- interviewing over 30 farmers, sharecroppers, and gardeners and a 5th generation coil basket weaver. Several of these interviews are with elders, 98, 92, and 109. Suffice it to say, the wisdom and personalities of the elders farmers are infectious. These interviews represent generations of cultural traditions of Black farming philosophy that honors land, sustainability, God, family and love for their community. Hearing their stories will honor these US farmers, sharecroppers, and gardeners and spotlight the connection between biological and cultural diversity that will connect us to our roots, especially our future farmers, and youth. The film will spotlight an array of farmers, rice growers, hog ranchers, dairy ranchers, barefoot farmers, sharecroppers, basket-weavers, shrimp farmers, vegetable farmers, and gardeners, each sharing their memorable stories with us for the first time. Are you available to assist? Thanks, Elaine

We contact the Salvation Army (or another organization that is willing to pick up the birthday bags from your house) and explain The Birthday Giving Program's mission.

Each birthday bag costs between $5 and $10, depending on how many gifts you decide to put in the bag. Your goal is to provide 10 birthday bags to the organization each month. Each birthday bag includes the same gift items, which will go to kids of a specific age group! 5.

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

  Aspire Education is the Bay Area’s leader in effective supplemental education programming. For more than 15 years, we have promised-and delivered-real results to over 15,000 students by connecting them to a small community of educators and mentors stocked with content expertise and emotional intelligence. Our top priority is to empower students to grow in confidence, competence, and grit. We are driven by the conviction that although potential is equally distributed across lines of race and class, opportunity is not. Aspire is dedicated to interrupting patterns of inequity in our community, with the shared vision that all young people should have the opportunity for equally high outcomes without regard to where they start in life. Aspire has three main service offerings: Collaborative Education Programming and Support. Aspire has partnered with dozens of Bay Area organizations to design custom programs that empower students to reach greater results in college entrance exams or increase confidence and achievement levels in subjects in which they’ve struggled. While many of our programs typically deal with the SAT, ACT, or high school entrance exams, our specialists provide academic support in all subjects. One-on-One Tutoring. Through a team of tutors stocked with content expertise and emotional intelligence, Aspire provides high-quality academic assistance with individual students and families on a sliding scale fee basis. Aspire’s approach to tutoring as educational mentorship not only leads to greater confidence and improved grades, but also empowers our students to be better prepared for the next phase of their educational careers. Community Reading Buddies. Community Reading Buddies mobilizes Bay Area young adults to mentor younger students in literacy and ignite them with a passion for reading. In turn, the young adults are trained in social-emotional skills that prepare them to become successful, independent community members. A Unique Moment Of 211 non-profit organizations considered, Aspire Education was chosen in 2021 for the first-place Impact 100-East Bay award. In 2022, we were selected from among dozens of applicants for a multiyear grant from the City of Oakland to expand our early literacy programming. Soon after that, we were selected for funding by the Warriors Community Foundation. As an organization, we seek out feedback from a diverse range of sources and take informed risks to improve our impact towards educational equity. We are now looking for new community members to join our Board of Directors to lead this expanding social enterprise. We are especially interested in individuals with experience and interest in development, fundraising, human resources, legal operations, and/or finance. We need the right leaders to help us connect, network, and expand awareness of our services, and you can be a part of creating that change.

  Livestream LocationOakland, CA 94612
  It's Flexible! We'll work with your schedule

  We're doing really fascinating videos in various SF East Bay creek watersheds and need a great human to help us video our guests 1-2 times a month at various locations in each watershed. These are legacy videos, focusing on the elder experts who have knowledge and expertise that will be lost if not captured on video. It's pretty simple work, and we use google drive for storing the content. You'll then edit the video clips, adding some music over the intro and outro cards. Then add to our youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@whollyh2o541 The actual content is always super fascinating, so that's a great bonus.
