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.

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.

It's the BIGGEST event of the year-our annual Art Auction! In the spring of 2002, ForKids faced devastating government funding cuts for our work with homeless families. We weren’t a fundraising nonprofit and the community largely didn’t know we existed. The solution? We needed a special event to raise money and awareness about the needs of our children. The ForKids Children’s Art Auction was born. Our 2019 Children’s Art Auction raised over $1,500,000 allowing ForKids to provide more services to more families and children in Hampton Roads, with a greater impact, than ever before. We need volunteers to assist with setting up for this amazing event. Come for an hour, two hours, whatever can fit your schedule. Tasks will include putting on chair covers, displaying the centerpieces, unloading our truck, putting up signage, and more. Please email or call if you are interested in being a part of this community event! THE DATE IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE TO MARCH 27TH FOR SET UP please use the link below to sign up for this event! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70a044bada629a6f49-artauction

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.

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.

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.

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.
