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.

A Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer is a trained citizen appointed by a judge to represent the best interests of children in court, most of whom have been removed from their parents or guardians due to abuse or neglect. They are in foster homes with the Dept. of Social Services having legal custody. After undergoing a criminal background check, volunteers complete 35 hours of pre-service training and court observation. CASA volunteers talk with the child, parents, family members, social workers, school officials, health care providers and others who are knowledgeable of the child's history. He or she also may review the child's school and medical records. The CASA then prepares a written report for the judge providing the information gathered while on the case.

The Literacy Lab recognizes that ensuring all students have the chance to read proficiently is an urgent and critical need.

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.

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.

Senior Companions are volunteers who provide assistance and friendship to seniors who have difficulty with daily living tasks such as shopping or paying bills. The program aims to keep seniors independent longer and provide assistance to family caregivers. Isolation and stress are two of the top reasons for health issues in all ages. Research is now showing that simply having a friend can decrease both stress and isolation leading to a decrease in onset of health problems including dementia and Alzheimer's. Your friendship can dramatically impact someone's health for the better. No technical experience needed! Senior Companions are part of the National Senior Corps program and focused on a "friends-helping-friends" volunteer program model. Senior Companion volunteers are matched with clients who live right in their own communities. Volunteers must be ages 55+, retired, and meet income guidelines to join this program. Apply online and fill out a SSSEVA Volunteer Application to get started today. https://www.ssseva.org/page/volunteer/ Seniors who need a SCP volunteer are living independently and need companionship or a helping hand. SCP volunteers pay a friendly visit and often perform a variety of tasks, such as shopping for groceries, writing a letter, or fixing a light meal. As a senior companion volunteer, you play a vital role in the life of your friend, providing a much-needed link from the community and helping them to remain independent and connected to the community.

Safe House Project is looking for community members to be part of our Hampton Roads Leadership Team. The committment is 5 hours a month. Below is an overview of our organization. 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.
