VOLUNTEER Hampton Roads

Community Knights funds its GIFT Grant program through regular bingo nights held on Wednesdays and Sundays. Community Knights has provided $1,275,000.00 in 639 GIFT grants to 160 different nonprofit and public school groups on the Virginia Peninsula over the past 6 years. The operation is big and requires a lot of hands in order for the events to go smoothly and so we are looking for dedicated individuals that are looking to join our volunteer team. These are the people that run the ins and outs of our Wednesday & Sunday bingo fundraising events and/or do Bingo Prep during the afternoons on Wednesdays and Fridays. Prep is the mixing and sorting of our Bingo Instant Pull Tabs, and puting together Bingo Packs for our next Fundraising Event. Please, only signup if you will be able to attend on the day that you sign up. When our volunteers do not show up our bingo game suffers. Court Ordered volunteers will be accepted if NOT a felony. This BINGO is a smoke-free environment. Please come join us while we have fun raising lots of money for our community. You are always welcome to bring a friend with you, and can provide a letter for community service at the end of the session if needed. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes since this position requires alot of walking. We will cater dinner on Wednesdays and Brunch on Sundays. Look for what's on the menu on our Facebook Page, Community Knights Volunteers. We will provide a tshirt for you to wear when you volunteer. We will accept a $10 donation for it if you would like to offset the cost of the shirt. Short training on site.

At ForKids, we envision a world where no child is homeless. Our thrift store, Good Mojo, is one of our tools we use to break the cycle of homelessness and poverty in Hampton Roads. Retail sales at the ForKids' thrift store creates a self-sustaining foundation for the mission-driven distribution of necessary household supplies to families in need. ForKids families earn "Mojo Bucks" by meeting program goals and are able to shop for much-needed household supplies as they regain their housing stability. Good Mojo is looking for help in picking up and delivering furniture through the store. Our truck driver always needs assistance in heavy lifting and an extra pair of hands to successfully deliver the furniture to either the store or to someone's home. No background check or orientation required- just a desire to get a good workout in and help the community!

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.

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 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.

Senior Companions are part of the National Senior Corps program and focused on a "friends-helping-friends" volunteer program model. Senior Companion Program (SCP) partners senior volunteers with adults living independently, who need companionship and a helping hand. In addition to paying a friendly visit, companions often perform a variety of tasks, such as shopping for groceries, writing a letter, or fixing a light meal. In many cases, the senior companion plays a vital role in the life of their client, providing a much-needed link from the community and helping them to remain independent and connected to the community. Senior Companion volunteers are matched with clients who live right in their own communities. Volunteers must be ages 55+ to join this program and are asked to contribute 20-40 hours per week to being a Companion.

We are looking for people to join our social media team. Social media will help create content (short videos, content, blogs, and graphics) for our various initatives. To prepare you for this volunteer position, you will be asked to complete our training course that helps educate our teams on sex trafficking and Safe House Project's solution. We are looking for approximately 1 hour of time per week. Below is an overview of Safe House Project. We look forward to having you as part of our team. https://www.safehouseproject. org/ Donate | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | LinkedIn | Pinterest Who We Are: Safe House Project is a registered 501c3 dedicated to raising awareness of sex trafficking and providing rescue, restoration, and reintegration for American child sex trafficking victims. Why We Exist: Every 2 minutes a child is sold into sex slavery Globally, 4.8 million people are trapped specifically in sex slavery 300,000 American children are commercially sexually exploited each year (prostitution or child pornography) 1% of victims are rescued each year Less than 100 beds are available in the US to provide rescue, restoration and reintegration for child sex trafficking victims Without a safe place to go, 80% of rescued children end up back in their trafficker’s hands Safe House Project’s Answer: Safe Houses are a linchpin for success in the fight against sex trafficking because without out 80% of rescued victims end of back in traffickers’ hands. Safe House Project is the only national organization that is focused on raising funds to support a collaborative network of rescue and restorative care organizations for domestic victims of sex trafficking. Whether they are children who have been trafficked or young adults who have been trafficked since they were children and just now escaping, we will ensure, by resourcing existing and new safe houses, that every victim is provided a place of refuge and restoration and opportunity. Safe House Project partners with a national network of restorative care providers. The National Trafficking Sheltered Alliance (“The Alliance”) asserts specific standards on its members to ensure the highest quality of survivor care. Safe House Project operates as a central funding source to organizations that are upholding the highest standards of care with the necessary resources for sustainability. Safe House Project raises funds through mass market events, partnerships, and private donors. We also come alongside existing events as their Charity Partner. Our mass-market events and speaking engagements allow us to raise awareness about the epidemic of sex trafficking, as well as deploy preventative education campaigns. Safe House Project’s Difference: We recognize that this issue draws many donors and corporate partners who wish to use their funds to make an impact in the fight against sex trafficking. There are many organizations doing incredible work, but we stand firmly on 3 pillars that provide security for our donors and sponsors alike. Multiplier: A donation or sponsorship to Safe House Project is not simply passed through us to another organization. We use donations to execute world-class fundraising events, like the Safe House Project Race Series, galas, fitness fundraisers, human trafficking symposiums, and benefit concerts. These events are carefully crafted to maximize sponsorship dollars and multiply the donations dispersed to our safe house partners. Diversifier: Furthermore, each event has a strong education campaign, which brings prevention and awareness. This allows Safe House Project to impact all sides of the issue from prevention and awareness to rescue and restoration. Guaranteed Impact: Safe House Project only disperses to safe houses who are providing guaranteed impact at the highest level of industry standards. This ensures that each donation made will move us forward in the fight against sex trafficking. In 2018, 93% of donations went directly to those providing for victims of sex trafficking. Safe House Project in Hampton Roads: Safe House Project raises awareness and promotes prevention of sex trafficking throughout Hampton Roads. We have 10-15 educational speaking events throughout Hampton Roads each month, as well as large scale fundraisers. We are also working with our local and national partners to establish rescue, restoration, and reintegration opportunities for victims from Hampton Roads. Our goal is to raise $3 million in 2019, but it requires that everyone engage in the fight. Together, we can provide a safe place for our children in Hampton Roads to heal from the trauma they have endured.

Animal Resources of Tidewater (ART) provides veterinary care to beloved pets when the pet guardian cannot afford vital care. Every month ART spends approximately $6,000 to treat a variety of cases – broken leg, surgery for a foreign obstruction, dental disease, etc. This intervention prevents suffering and often prevents euthanasia or the pet being surrendered to a local shelter where euthanasia is likely. A volunteer is needed to follow up with the families whose pets have been served. The volunteer will gather testimonials about the difference ART made for pets and owners. In some cases testimonials can be gathered by phone or electronically (e.g., email, text message). Where possible, it is ideal to gather simple, short video testimonials on the volunteer’s phone or personal device. Testimonials will be shared via ART social media accounts. The volunteer should have good verbal and written skills and be reasonably adept at taking videos on their phone or personal device.
