Happy April everyone! It’s time for Spring Cleaning! The community knows it, and now Good Mojo is under a mountain of donations! There’s so much excellent gently-used merchandise coming in, and we need the help of our reliable volunteer community to handle the sudden burst of donations! If you are the head of a volunteer group, we are desperate for help to tackle the bigger projects! We need you! If your team is looking to get out this Spring and do some good in the community, please don’t hesitate to sign up! Groups of 5 of more can be scheduled for virtually anytime during store hours where there isn’t already another group scheduled. At Good Mojo, we accept both adult volunteer groups as well as youth groups! If you are interested in scheduling a volunteer opportunity with your group, please sign up for your requested date (only the head of the group/main contact needs to sign up here on Volunteer Hampton Roads)! Once your request is received, a member of the ForKids Volunteer Program will reach out to you for specifics - the times you'd like your group to come, the approximate number of volunteers, etc. We will get you everything you need to make your group's volunteer opportunity smooth and effortless! Our volunteer groups typically spend 2-4 hours at the Good Mojo Thrift store working on a project. The projects can vary day to day, but will usually involve helping sort through the incoming donations! Why Bring Your Group To Volunteer At Good Mojo?? 1) You're making a difference! The sales and donations from Good Mojo go to support the ForKids mission, which is to break the cycle of poverty and homelessness for families and children. Every volunteer that gives their time is helping a family in need get back on their feet and break the cycle! 2) It's fun! Volunteering at Good Mojo is a good time! Our volunteers enjoy their time in the store sorting new donations, tagging and hanging clothing, and just generally helping the store to function! Our staff at Good Mojo is friendly and inviting, and always happy to educate our volunteers on the mission of ForKids and WHY we do what we do! If you're looking for a volunteer opportunity for your group that is casual, fun, and impactful, this is it! 3) We'll reward your for your time! As a thank you, for every hour volunteered, each member of your group will get 10% off Good Mojo merchandise (excluding furniture), up to 50% off! And on top of getting an incredible bargain, as a volunteer you're getting a first look at the donations that come in! For any members of your group that love thrifting, this volunteer opportunity is a dream come true! Thank you for considering giving your time to help us in our mission! If you have any questions regarding setting up a group volunteer opportunity, please feel free to email us at volunteer@forkidsva.org.

Ain't no party like a PETA (volunteer) Party! Did you know that every PETA literature packet is hand-made (with love) by one of our dedicated staff, interns, or volunteers? Every week our incredible Literature department puts together and mails out thousands of pieces of life-saving literature requested by our amazing activists from around the world! That's a whole lot of sticker tearing, letter folding, and envelope stuffing! Putting together all those packs requires a lot of work and we can use all the help we can get. That's where PETA Volunteer Party, and YOU, help save the day! Every Thursday evening from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., PETA staff, interns, volunteers, and activists transform PETA's James Cromwell Room (JCR) into literature packing central. On any given night our volunteers can crank out over 2,000 literature packs! Why the "party"? Would you expect anything less from the organization that is constantly pushing the envelope (pun intended) in the animal rights world with our creative and eye-catching campaigns? PETA's Volunteer Party combines envelope stuffing with a social atmosphere and vegan snacks in an effort to help animals and have a good time. Come add a little excitement to your Thursday night by helping animals at PETA Volunteer Party! If you have any questions, feel free to call 757.622.7382.

Our public partner, “the Commission”, serves the cities of Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, and Franklin, as well as Isle of Wight and Southampton Counties. These seven localities formed the agency in 1977 in an effort to coordinate needed services for the juvenile population, thus avoiding a duplication of services in the region.

Mutts with a Mission always needs puppy raisers. The more puppy raisers we have, the more service dogs we can place with Veterans and Wounded Warriors who cannot participate in our owner train program. Our puppy raisers are very special people, and we depend on them to help us provide quality dogs. As a Puppy Raiser you bring one of our service dog candidate pups into your home and care for him for the first 12 – 18 months attending training classes during this time. Mutts with a Mission will pay for food, veterinary care, equipment, and training. There are few things in this world more heart-warming than handing your pup’s leash over to its new partner and knowing that you’ve helped to return independence to a veteran who gave selflessly of themselves. Where else can one person have such a direct, profound, life changing impact on a veteran or Wounded Warrior? Puppy Raiser FAQ
