The CaribFest Festival is an exhilarating celebration of performing arts, outdoor entertainment, and community spirit. The Festival is an exciting cultural explosion of Caribbean, Latin, African and Folklore music, cuisine, and revelry. The magnificent costumed parade and displays are elaborate and oh so delicately worn and designed for movement. Every move they make, is a breath-taking spectrum of colors. With Town Point Park serving as the nucleus of all activity, CaribFest is not complete without Live performing artists, fine cuisines, Arts and Crafts displays, a kids play area and much more. This is a weekend of tropical rhythm, cuisine, carnival and culture as only the Caribbean can offer. Over the years, the Festival has grown into the largest Caribbean event on the local calendar.

Do you believe that literacy is a human right? Reading is the foundation for educational success and opportunities in life, yet many children are not given the time and skills to build this foundation. Children without the necessary literacy skills can fall behind quickly, and the consequences last a lifetime. Children who are not reading on grade level by the end of third grade are four times less likely to graduate from high school. The Literacy Lab recognizes that ensuring all students have the chance to read proficiently is an urgent and critical need. Our approach is to provide pre-K and elementary schools with evidence-based literacy intervention, full-time literacy tutors to implement the model, and assessment tools and a coaching support structure that ensures the success of the program and students. If you believe literacy is a human right and want to ensure that all children learn to read proficiently, you belong on our team! WHAT YOU’LL DO Tutors will serve full-time for an entire academic year in an assigned school and work with a caseload of about 15-18 students in need of targeted reading support. Tutors will implement specific early literacy interventions, conduct weekly progress monitoring, and work with a team of coaches to make data-informed decisions to ensure each child is on track to read proficiently. Tutors are a part of the school community and will work to build strong relationships with students, teachers, and other staff. In addition, tutors will participate in community-based volunteer opportunities. At a minimum, a tutor must: Serve for the duration of the school day M-F Commit to serving for the full school year (August-June/ July) Become engaged with volunteer opportunities at your school site and in the community Act on feedback from coaches and program staff Utilize specific data-based and scripted curriculum ELIGIBILITY At a minimum, all applicants must: Be at least 18 years old Have a high school diploma, GED, or equivalency Have served no more than 3 previous AmeriCorps terms Be a US citizen, national, or permanent resident DACA recipients are unfortunately not eligible to apply Candidates must not be registered, or be required to register, on any sex offender registry LOCATIONS SERVED Richmond, VA Henrico, VA Hopewell, VA Peterburg, VA Hampton Roads, VA BENEFITS Over the course of their service term, tutors receive: A modest living allowance ($1400/ month) Federal student loan forbearance Segal Education Award upon completion of service Health insurance, with all premiums covered by The Literacy Lab Access to SNAP benefits, as well as Childcare and Employee Assistance Programs Transferable professional development that complements your service year experience REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS The Literacy Lab is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Do you believe that literacy is a human right? The Literacy Lab recognizes that ensuring all students have the chance to read proficiently is an urgent and critical need. Our approach is to provide Pre-K classrooms and elementary schools with evidence-based literacy intervention and full-time literacy tutors to implement the model. With the help of assessment tools, their coaching teams, and The Literacy Lab’s program staff, our tutors help their students become successful readers. If you want to make a difference in the lives of kids while gaining professional skills and experience in the fields of education, nonprofit, and social justice, a service term with The Literacy Lab may be the perfect opportunity for you! WHAT YOU WILL DO Tutors serve full-time for an entire academic year and work with a caseload of about 15-18 students who need targeted reading support. At their school site, tutors implement specific early literacy interventions, conduct weekly progress monitoring, and work with a team of coaches to make data-informed decisions to ensure each child is on track to read proficiently. Tutors are a part of the school community and work to build strong relationships with students, teachers, and other staff. In addition, tutors participate in community-based volunteer opportunities and ongoing professional development sessions. At a minimum, a tutor must: Serve in a full-time capacity, approx. 8 hours/ day, M-F Commit to a full service term (August-June) Implement feedback from coaches and program staff Utilize specific data-based and scripted curriculum Participate in service days, ongoing training, and other Literacy Lab events and meetings ELIGIBILITY At a minimum, all applicants must: Be at least 17 years old Have a high school diploma, GED, or equivalency Have served no more than 3 previous AmeriCorps terms (no prior AmeriCorps experience necessary) Be a US citizen, national, or permanent resident DACA recipients are unfortunately not eligible to apply.

We know that our cohorts are stronger when our tutors represent a number of different communities, cultures, religious backgrounds, genders, and sexual orientations. Because of the systemic history of racial inequity in the teaching profession, we’re dedicated to creating opportunities for emerging educators of color. Research shows that students who have a teacher that looks like them early in their educational career are more likely to graduate from high school and attend college. As over 90% of the students we serve are children of color, we know that having a representative cohort is crucial for positive long-term effects on our students.

Our approach is to provide Pre-K classrooms and elementary schools with evidence-based literacy intervention and full-time literacy tutors to implement the model. With the help of assessment tools, their coaching teams, and The Literacy Lab’s program staff, our tutors help their students become successful readers. If you want to make a difference in the lives of kids while gaining professional skills and experience in the fields of education, nonprofit, and social justice, a service term with The Literacy Lab may be the perfect opportunity for you! WHAT YOU WILL DO Tutors serve full-time for an entire academic year and work with a caseload of about 15-18 students who need targeted reading support. At their school site, tutors implement specific early literacy interventions, conduct weekly progress monitoring, and work with a team of coaches to make data-informed decisions to ensure each child is on track to read proficiently. Tutors are a part of the school community and work to build strong relationships with students, teachers, and other staff. In addition, tutors participate in community-based volunteer opportunities and ongoing professional development sessions. At a minimum, a tutor must: Serve in a full-time capacity, approx. 8 hours/ day, M-F Commit to a full service term (August-June) Implement feedback from coaches and program staff Utilize specific data-based and scripted curriculum Participate in service days, ongoing training, and other Literacy Lab events and meetings ELIGIBILITY At a minimum, all applicants must: Be at least 17 years old Have a high school diploma, GED, or equivalency Have served no more than 3 previous AmeriCorps terms (no prior AmeriCorps experience necessary) Be a US citizen, national, or permanent resident DACA recipients are unfortunately not eligible to apply.

We know that our cohorts are stronger when our tutors represent a number of different communities, cultures, religious backgrounds, genders, and sexual orientations. Because of the systemic history of racial inequity in the teaching profession, we’re dedicated to creating opportunities for emerging educators of color. Research shows that students who have a teacher that looks like them early in their educational career are more likely to graduate from high school and attend college. As over 90% of the students we serve are children of color, we know that having a representative cohort is crucial for positive long-term effects on our students. Furthermore, all students benefit from having at least one teacher of color in elementary school. REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS The Literacy Lab is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Animal Resources of Tidewater (ART) is seeking a volunteer to screen applications for veterinary assistance for sick and injured pets, and make appointments at veterinary clinics to treat these animals. Basic knowledge of pet health, injuries, ailments and diseases is helpful. The ability to discern if the need is urgent vs non-urgent is a plus, but not required. Volunteers interested in this position will be trained by others already doing this work so you become part of a supportive team. Volunteer should be organized and computer literate. Volunteer should have good communication skills with the ability to speak professionally to veterinary clinic staff, and calmly respond to applicants who can be stressed because they are dealing with a sick pet. Dealing with pet parents and vet offices requires a willingness to speak on the phone and not rely solely on texts/emails. Flexibility is needed to communicate with vet offices (make appointments, pay bills) during working hours. This is an ideal volunteer opportunity for someone who wants to help animals and who is empathetic to pet owners whose sick and injured pets need vet care the pet parent cannot afford. Being part of an organization that helps people and their pets at times of crisis, truly saving lives, is incredibly rewarding.
