Volunteer: Summer Camp Volunteer

Our popular camp programs are a great opportunity for volunteers who enjoy spending time with small groups of kids. Camp themes range from Harry Potter and Zombie Survival to butterflies, the human body, and engineering. Volunteers—working alongside Putnam educators—help make the camp experience special for our young campers by providing assistance with themed activities, assisting staff with preparation of materials, managing the check-in process, and supervising lunch and break-time activities.

Ideal camp volunteers enjoy working with children, variety and can handle multiple environments (outdoors, museum exhibit halls, classrooms, etc.). Camps run during school breaks. Commitment for the duration of the camp is preferred, but not required. Shifts are weekdays from 8 a.m. – 12 p.m. and/or 1– 4 p.m. Volunteers are also needed to assist with before care (8–9 a.m., M–F) and after care (4–5 p.m., M–F) for campers who join us for an extended day.

Volunteer: ¡Ayúdenos acabar con la soledad! ¡Hazte amigo de un adulto mayor aislado!

La filosofía, los programas, y las actividades de Little Brothers-Friends of the Elderly (Pequeños Hermanos Amigos de Los Adultos Mayores conocido por sus siglas en inglés LBFE)  están centradas en aliviar la soledad y el aislamiento entre los adultos mayores en los condados de Dupage y Kane. Una interacción social es importante para el espíritu humano; creemos que nutrir el alma es tan importante como alimentar al cuerpo. Los adultos mayores con los que trabajamos tienen poco o nulo contacto con familiares y/o amistades. Ellos viven aislados. Los voluntarios apoyan a los adultos mayores a través de la amistad, participando en diversas actividades y programas, e incluso visitas personales y fiestas en días festivos. 

Una visita en persona es la mejor manera de aliviar la soledad y el aislamiento. LBFE está buscando voluntarios que puedan visitar a un adulto mayor en persona. Nuestro objetivo es conectar a las personas a través de la amistad. Las visitas pueden ser en el hogar, al aire libre (cuando el clima lo permite), o en lugares dentro de la comunidad. Para empezar, por favor únase a nuestra orientación por Zoom. Haga click en el enlace y empiece a registrarse ahora. Para ser voluntario se requiere la asistencia a esta sesión de orientación de una hora. También se requiere una exitosa revisión de antecedentes

Volunteer: End Loneliness! Be a friend to an isolated older adult!

Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly's (LBFE) philosophy, programs and activities are focused on alleviating loneliness and isolation among older adults in DuPage and Kane County. The need for social interaction is critical to the human spirit - we believe that nurturing the soul is as important as feeding the body. The older adults we engage with have little to no contact with family and/or friends and are living life alone. Volunteers support older adults in friendship through various activities and programs, such as in-person visiting, parties, and holidays.

Regular in-person visiting is the best way to alleviate loneliness and isolation. LBFE is seeking volunteers that can visit an older adult in-person. Our goal is to connect people together in friendship. In-person visits could vary from in an older adult's home, to your home, outdoors (weather appropriate) or in some other great spot in the community.

To begin, please join us at an upcoming Zoom orientation! Follow the link below to register. Attendance at this one-hour orientation session is required to volunteer, as well as successful completion of a background screen.

www.lbfechicago.org/volunteer

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. More information can be found at www.lbfechicago.org. Join LBFE today to make an impact in an older adult's life!

See you soon!

Volunteer: DRHS Foster Parent

The goal of the Dubuque Regional Humane Society’s (DRHS) foster care program is to rehabilitate animals in order to make them available for adoption. Cats, kittens, dogs, puppies, and various small mammals are able to find forever homes with the help of our dedicated foster families.


What is a foster parent?

A volunteer foster parent assists in the rehabilitation of an animal by providing in-home care. An animal may need a foster home for a variety of reasons including age, illness, injury, socialization, or to help provide needed space at the shelter for incoming animals.


What are the responsibilities of a foster parent?

It is the foster family’s responsibility to provide a clean, safe, and loving environment for our foster animals. Being a foster parent requires the following:

A separate room or space in the home that keeps foster animals separate from your home animalsAbility to commit to routine medical appointmentsHave access to transportationBe accessible by DRHS staff (phone, email, text, etc.)Must be 18 years of ageIf fostering dogs, a safe place to walk or an enclosed outdoor area where dogs can be supervised during outside time.While fostering does not necessarily take a lot of time, time commitments vary depending on the needs of each animal and must be considered before taking on any foster animal.Patience. Foster animals, like all animals, require patience as they transition to your home and environment. 


If you have any questions about our foster program, contact us at foster@dbqhumane.org or fill out our digital application: https://form.jotform.com/243646009700149

Volunteer: Photography Volunteer Posting!

Elara Caring, one of the nation’s largest providers of home-based care, is looking for compassionate volunteers willing to donate their time to provide exceptional end-of-life care to local hospice patients and their families.

All volunteers must have their own equipment, camera not provided. We ask that photographs be donated and HIPPA patient privacy rules apply to rights of prints.
Hours are very flexible, weekdays, evenings or weekends. Typically we ask that you visit your assigned patient 1-2 hours per week or offer 1-2 hours per week or work in the office.
