Elizabeth, NJ 07470
Recruiting Organization: Child Focus- CASA of Passaic and Union Counties In Union County, nearly half of the children in foster care are Hispanic. These children desperately need Spanish-speaking advocates to speak up for their needs and represent their best interests. Court Appointed Special Advocate volunteers, or CASAs, look out for the best interests of children in Union County who have been abused or neglected and placed into foster care. CASAs advocate for the child's needs and gather information from the family, caretakers, teachers, doctors, and caseworkers in order to make informed recommendations to the family court about the child’s future. Often, CASAs are the only consistent person in the child's life while they are involved in the child welfare system. No specific background, training, or education is required; all training and resources are provided. Make a difference in a child's life without being their foster parent and by dedicating only 7 - 15 hours per month. For more information, e-mail training@casapassaicunion.org or call 973-832-4002. Being a CASA will change a child's life -- and yours.

Recruiting Organization: The Animal Pad The Animal Pad is seeking more amazing humans to join our most coveted and most popular volunteer role in the rescue - the TAP Care Team! TAP Care Team members work onsite at our medical clearing facility in La Mesa, CA and are responsible for feeding, cleaning kennels, administering meds, laundry, and hanging out with the fur babies while they await medical clearance before being matched and welcomed into a foster home. This role is our most active and hands-on volunteer opportunity at TAP, and requires the willingness/ability to handle a variety of different dog personalities as well as dogs of all shapes/sizes/breeds (strong pullers, energetic breeds, shy and decompressing dogs, etc.). Care Team volunteers must be able to lift 30 lbs. and feel comfortable handling dogs that pull on leash. Morning and evening shifts are available daily, 365 days of the year! The TAP Care Team is looking for volunteers who can commit to a minimum of one, 2-hour shift per month. Morning shifts ( 8am-10am) and evening shifts ( 5pm-7pm) are available on both weekdays and weekends. TAP has become well-known for taking on medical cases that other organizations won't/don't, and as a result you may encounter dogs with specific medical needs during Care Team shifts or while onsite at our facility. Some of these medical cases include: Contagious conditions (which we all wear PPE for, provided by TAP) TVT, aka transmissible venereal tumors (only transmissible via direct cellular contact w/another dog, which looks like visible tumors and occasionally atypical presentations including fluid draining from facial areas) Mobility issues (including dogs who have pending surgeries) Dogs with visible conditions in the process of healing (skin conditions, underweight or sometimes emaciated dogs, etc. This disclaimer is not meant to scare you away, however, we want to be transparent about the sometimes heartbreaking situations dogs come to us in so that you feel better prepared to work directly with dogs in all manners of condition. Our facility is the first place that many dogs ever receive medical care, regular meals, medications, and TLC from dedicated volunteers, and it takes a village (and time) to rehabilitate dogs and prepare them for foster and adoptive homes. If you feel this may hinder your ability to work directly with dogs at our facility, THAT IS OKAY! We have many volunteer opportunities at TAP and want to be sure you find the right fit for your comfort level! ***This volunteer role is strictly 18+.*** If this is something you would be interested in, please fill out a Volunteer Application on our website: https://theanimalpad.org/volunteer/volunteer-application/ Stipend ProvidedFalse Training ProvidedFalse Housing AvailableFalse Language/Cultral Support AvailableFalse Wheelchair AccessibleFalse Fee RequiredFalse Fee Amount: None This opportunity is recurring
