Community Service Opportunity: Host a fundraising table to send solar lights to Gaza's Children

Save to Favorites

Rebuilding Alliance is looking for roughly 5 part-time volunteers to help us out as Brighten the Future Local Coordinators by fundraising at local mosques/masjids in the Bay Area.

We want to increase our fundraising efforts by going to places of worship, schools and universities and setting up donation tables. Your job will involve attending places of worship- especially churches, mosques, and synagogues -for a few hours at a time and about four times a month.

You may also coordinate with teachers and classrooms to inspire and support student fundraising efforts. We are open to new ideas and hearing from our volunteers, too!

Our goal is to raise enough funds to send a shipment of solar lights to Gaza’s children every two month through Rebuilding Alliance’s Brighten the Future for Gaza’s Children project. Thus far, we have sent six shipments of solar lights to Non-Governmental Organizations in Gaza, pre-cleared through both Palestinian and Israeli Customs and we’ve now received a matching grant to send two lights for everyone in our 7th shipment!

All we need from you is to:

• Meet weekly/ monthly to help us fundraise at a place of worship
• Check in regularly with the Program Manager to get yourself scheduled and keep us updated
• ** Also, although it is not necessary nor required , you are welcome to join us at our weekly meetings to listen-in on our newest projects or to even offer advice/ suggestions you may have for us.

Qualifications

• Commitment to Rebuilding Alliance’s mission and to Brighten the Future of Gaza’s Children;
• A love of working with people
• A reliable, energetic, organized team player; a "roll up your sleeves and do what’s needed" kind of person with a sense of humor who’s comfortable working in a fast-paced setting.
