AFTER-SCHOOL TUTORS NEEDED FOR REFUGEE STUDENTS ages 5-18!

Get to know a newly arrived refugee student and family in this unique After School Tutoring program taking place at the home of students! You get to tutor once per week (or more if you wish) for 1 to 2  hours between 5:00 and 8:00pm scheduled at your convenience. Training and on-going support provided. This is a great way to impact newly arrived refugee families and assist the children in finding success in Schools!

Program Pals provide programming which gives our campers the opportunity to try new things and push beyond their comfort zone. Volunteers in this role are assigned to oversee a program area such as Arts & Crafts, Woodshop, Boating and Fishing. As a Program Pal you will join a family when your program area is closed so you can continue to experience all of the magic of camp.

You could also work with members of our yearly staff in a couple different areas as well. We offer the opportunity to volunteer in the barn to help out with our adaptive horseback riding and animal adventure programs. Our full-time barn team will give you the training you need to help fulfill your duties such as: leading horses in our arena, sidewalking, handling all our animals (horses, goats, llama, donkeys, cow), and many hands on tasks around the barn. The other option is working with our kitchen team and assisting with meal time set up and clean up. Our program team would walk through with you how mealtime works, but then then the kitchen team would go more into detail of your role and expectations. Both positions will get orientation time before families arrive and will also get assigned a family to work with whenever you are not at your program area. We do have an age requirement of 18, and also being a high school graduate as well.

We ask you to use this link below that will take you to our staff dashboard. Here you will fill out our application to come volunteer with us. Once it is complete, a member of our team will reach out to you to set up an interview (Set aside 30-45 minutes). We hope to see you at camp real soon!

Family Pals are paired with a family and serve as their guide throughout the weekend. That means welcoming your family to camp, escorting them throughout their camp experience and enjoying the joys of camp with all members of the family. Your role is very important because as the initial face of Victory Junction and the family’s constant representation, you have a major part in the feel of camp and the community that is established. In short, laugh, play and care for your campers! Families will live on cabin row and volunteers in program or medical lodges. We do have an age requirement of 18, but also must be a graduate of high school as well. 

We ask you to use this link below that will take you to our staff dashboard. Here you will fill out our application to come volunteer with us. Once it is complete, a member of our team will reach out to you to set up an interview (Set aside 30-45 minutes). We hope to see you at camp real soon!

We are scheduling events throughout the year to give away bikes.

Help needed! Cycle Recycle needs a couple of volunteers with trucks or vans to be available to carry bikes on occasion. We don't carry bikes too often, but it would be helpful to have a couple of volunteers to call when we do so. Please reply to let me know if you can do this.  Call me at 336-525-6482.

Very part-time.

We are receiving bike donations throughout the week.  We need someone who can run point to call donor and arrange the bike drop off or pick up from their home.  Helpful to have a van when the donor has multiple bikes.  

Drive older adults to their medical appointments, errands, grocery shopping or activities using your own vehicle (mileage reimbursed quarterly). You can drive as often as several times a week, or as little as once or twice a month.  You can choose your days, time, length of trips and area of the community where you would like to drive.  All volunteering occurs weekdays between 9 am and 5 pm.

Spend about one hour in the afternoon straightening up our book processing center after volunteers have left.  Load boxes of books onto trailer (using dolly), empty trash, sweep, break down boxes, move/stack boxes of books. 

Requires some lifting.  Volunteer one or more afternoons per week. This is a great opportunity for a Crosby scholar or other high school student looking for some regular volunteer hours.

Many older adults who live independently are unable to get to the grocery store. We are in need of drivers who can take one of our participants grocery shopping twice per month using their own vehicle (mileage is reimbursed quarterly). A shopping trip generally takes 1 1/2 -2 hours. You may be assigned a person who lives in your area; all participants are required to shop at a grocery store close to their home.  In most cases, you will need to help the participant get the groceries in and out of the car. This is a great opportunity to build a relationship with someone new!

Many older adults could use a hand with getting things done around the house. If you can provide small acts of labor for minor home repairs, i.e carpentry, plumbing, electrical, flooring and various type of yard work, then this volunteer activity is for you. Congregational groups, youth groups, business teams, etc. are also welcome to give us a call.

Always, thank you for supporting The Salvation Army!

We provide dinner for our families 7 nights a week. Bringing a cooking group is an amazing way to show the support of the community and it truly makes our House feel like home.

Dinner groups can have up to 10 participants and are responsible for planning a menu and bringing all the necessary ingredients/ supplies to the House, and then using our kitchen and equipment to cook (all prep work and cooking must be done here at the Ronald McDonald House and cannot be done at home). 

Groups typically cook for 35 (but you will receive an exact count on the Monday of your cooking date). After cooking, your group will portion out meals in individual to-go containers and label them with the contents and date (date labels and to-go containers are provided by us).

Volunteer Needs:

One of our greatest needs are Spanish-speaking interpreters to register clients with the food pantry. We serve several hundred Hispanic families each month with food and each family needs to register when they arrive.

Clients will present their food bank cards and the volunteer will use either a tablet or phone to record the visit with the food bank. Clients that do not have food bank card will need to provide their information to receive a food bank card on their first visit.

We will provide a training prior to any food pantry distribution to help understand the process. As a new volunteer in this capacity, you will most likely start off by registering only 10 clients as you learn the system.

We very much appreciate your interest and hope to hear from you.

We want to reach into the whole community.

Cycle Recycle is in the process of developing social media bullets that tell our story and invite people to join us by donating a bike, volunteering at our warehouse with operations and donating money.  We have begun videotaping short interviews with our partners and team.  An advisor would help us to be intentional and focused on the mechanics of best practices with our advisory team in communicating our story to the general public and target groups.  We are about to launch an initiative to solicit funds from potential donors.  We would like someone to help us with that who has experience.

 We need volunteers who have a passion for serving God in the community.

   Cycle Recycle is growing by leaps and bounds.  We have a passionate and dynamic team that is committed to our vision of providing bikes to kids in under-resourced areas of Winston-Salem and connecting with them to teach bike safety education.  We operate all year, but especially focus on providing bikes at Gift Mart.  We are partnering with several nonprofits and community outreach agencies to be open to how we can make a difference with families and kids by promoting the joy and freedom of cycling.  

    We are about to embark on a fundraising initiative that will also reach throughout the community to engage volunteers to join in our mission.  We have events scheduled throughout the year.  We need someone who loves working with people to work with our team to help organize events, help recruit or encourage volunteers and add to our ministry the joy and empowerment we want to spread throughout our city.  You will want to be present at many of our Wrench workshops as you are able.  It would be helpful if you were connected with much of the cycling network already or you are talented in making these connections.

We accept gently used children and adult bikes. We value every bike donation to us in love to pass along to someone who needs a bike.  We provide refurbished bikes to persons through our community partners. 

Please call 336-525-6482 and leave a message or write us at cyclerecycle@LoveOutLoudWS.com to arrange a drop off or to have someone pick it up.  To date, we have refurbished and have ready 185 bikes in our warehouse and probably another 100 to be repaired.

We're going strong.

Cycle/Recycle continues to receive donations of gently used bikes, which are stored in our warehouse.  We hold regularly scheduled Wrench workshops to repair the bikes to provide throughout the community during the year.  We need volunteers who are able to do minor repairs such as changing tires/tubes, adjusting brakes, doing tune ups and other basic skills.  We have professional mechanics at each workshop to assist you and teach bike repair.  Volunteers need their own tools.  Teens may have the opportunity to wash down bikes to get then ready. We plan to hold bike repair days at various times throughout the year.  Scheduled Wrench workshops:

We ask volunteers to give 2-3 hours of their time to come help fix up bikes for Gift Mart.

We have given over 940 bikes away in the past 4 years.  We also need men and women who are passionate about connecting with the kids to teach them safe bike riding and repairs.

Triad RJ is looking for volunteers who share our vision for a more peaceful community through relationships, and want to invest their time in our youth. Impact Circles is a community-based diversion program that provides an alternative response for youth offenders using restorative justice practices. Community Justice Volunteers sit in a circle discussion with the youth and others involved in the incident to collective decide the best ways to hold the youth accountable and provide the support needed for transformation.

Youth are referred to our program from the juvenile court system or through school counselors. For youth facing court charges, successful completion of the program would result in a reduction or elimination of charges.

Currently Impact Circles are conducted on Wednesday eventings. Volunteers are asked to serve 1-2 times per month.

We are especially looking for individuals who can connect well with justice-involved youth, and those who may have overcome a difficult past (Background check is required, but results are evaluated on a case by case basis, so don't let that be a deterrent). 

Passion required. Training & support will be provided. 

Questions? Reach out to Teneal at teneal@triadrj.org

This organization need women volunteer mentors to provide positive support to women offenders/ex-offenders. As a mentor, you will start by building a positive rapport, with the woman, while she remains detained at the Forsyth Detention Center, at least two visits per month. Upon the mentee's release, the mentor, will provide support to the woman by assisting in the navigation process of  re-integrating back into the community.  If you have a passion to help "women" offenders/ex-offenders please contact us.

The Forsyth Sponsoring Committee (FSC) seeks to connect with additional leaders of institutions who want to engage their people in developing leadership skills and organizing for justice.  

We are building an “organization of organizations” that will strengthen relationships, develop leaders, conduct listening campaigns reaching thousands of residents, and plan public actions on the issues identified (for example: educational equity, health care, housing, living wages, immigrant rights, environmental justice, etc.).

We invite leaders of congregations, nonprofits, neighborhood and tenants’ associations, cultural associations, sports leagues, and other institutions in the civic sector to learn more and consider joining the 20+ institutions that have already committed to ‘sponsor’ the building of this new organization.  Potential member institutions should be able to build a ‘core team’ of 5-15 leaders who participate regularly and engage your broader membership in the organizing process.

As a first step, interested leaders should arrange a meeting with the local organizer to share your story and hopes for our community and learn more about the IAF organizing effort (please contact Megan Gregory at megan.nciaf@gmail.com or 847-287-7794).  Then, if you think this effort may align with your mission, we can schedule an information session and conversation with your leadership team to discuss further.  

We also have ongoing opportunities to engage in leadership training, relationship-building, and organizing activities (internal strategy meetings, listening sessions to determine collective priorities, research-actions, and public actions on issues identified by the collective).  The organizer can share about upcoming opportunities depending on where the larger collective is in the organizing process.

For more information, please see: https://bit.ly/Forsyth-IAF-Invitation (in Spanish: https://bit.ly/Forsyth-IAF-Invitacion). 

We have inherited white supremacy’s multigenerational theft of wealth, power, and truth in the body of Christ. While this injustice is not white people’s fault, it is our responsibility as followers of Jesus. To that end, Repair the Body Winston-Salem (RTB) is a grassroots and multi-institutional effort that seeks reparative justice in the church. Furthermore, RTB pursues this goal in partnership with, and under the leadership of, a collective of local Black pastors, Black churches, and Black-led grassroots organizations. Together, we long for racial healing and repair in the body of Christ! 

If you are interested in learning more, please contact Clay Cooke.

Common Prayer follows in the line of ancient Israel, Jesus, and the early church’s practice of thrice-daily prayer. It also follows in the line of the ‘divine office,’ practiced by many intentional Christian communities throughout history. “And they devoted themselves…to prayer” (Acts 2).

We invite you to engage in School of Love's rhythm of Common Prayer, which is an intentional structure of support that most Christians lack. It occurs every day of the week, Monday-Friday, in a fifteen minute window: Mondays at 7am, Tuesdays at 12:15pm, Wednesdays at 8:30pm, Thursdays at 12:15pm, and Fridays at 12:15pm.

If you are interested in engaging School of Love’s practice of Common Prayer, please contact Clay Cooke.

Due to the impact of COVID-19, many Americans are losing their jobs along with their health coverage as the economy shuts down. What many don't realize is that they may have options to enroll in coverage through the Affordable Care Act or Medicaid. That's where healthcare navigators step in.

Healthcare navigators are trained and federally certified to remotely assist individuals and families with exploring their coverage options, completing the online application for coverage, applying for financial help to pay for premiums, and choosing a health plan that fits their specific needs. 

All of the training to become a healthcare navigator is online and can be completed at your own pace. For everyone's safety, we are conducting all enrollment appointments remotely until further notice. 

If you find yourself with time on your hands and want to engage in a meaningful remote volunteer experience that will help save lives, consider volunteering as a healthcare navigator. Please note that a background check is required, but at no cost to the volunteer.

We are looking for one or more volunteers to assist with running our youth volunteer program - YASS Kids Club.

We currently meet on Saturdays from 10am - 12noon at the sanctuary. The kids learn about the animal residents and help with cleaning, food, water, enrichment, and special projects.

It is fairly informal now, but we do have a membership card, forms, signup, etc.

The ideal person enjoys children and animals and can help with coordinating plans and supply list needs for each week as well as being present during the Saturday volunteer time.

Often parents stay to help and there are a few older kids who attend regularly that are great helpers.

Almost everything is outdoors, so it is always weather permitting. We are also flexible to fill in or skip any weeks you are not available. Also open to multiple volunteers that work together for a monthly or bi-weekly commitment.
