Colorado Needs Our Time, Talent, and Donations

Friday, June 29th, 2012

This past week has been a difficult one for Colorado residents. Large wildfires and high temperatures have destroyed thousands of homes, forcing residents to evacuate their communities to find safe shelter. Although many people and organizations are helping the relief efforts, they still need more help!

How can you get involved in helping Colorado and the rest of the Rocky Mountain region during this hard time? Volunteer your time and efforts to helping neighbors!

  • Have some spare change? Any monetary amount will be greatly appreciated by the volunteer organizations that are currently assisting emergency efforts. Financial donations allow organizations to purchase exactly what they need to ensure proper assistance. No organization is preferred over another; choose one that you are particularly drawn to.
  • Donate your time to a volunteer organization: Organizations such as the Red Cross, the Humane Society, and the Salvation Army are already stationed in the Colorado Springs area. Do not come unexpectedly to these areas for safety reasons. Sign up to help efforts when volunteers are needed.
  • Material donations are a great way to help! The surrounding county volunteer organizations are asking for very specific donations at this time. The list includes:
    • Meal donations from restaurants
    • Donations from rental properties for displaced individuals
    • New batteries
    • New underwear and socks
    • Furniture
    • Water bottles
    • Chain saws
    • New pots and pans
    • Generators
    • Work boots

More ideas for donation needs can be found here.

  • Hold a yard sale or charitable event: Either event is a great way to get your local community involved in relief efforts. Get your neighbors together for a yard sale to help raise money for the victims and Colorado. A charitable event is a fun way to raid awareness for the disaster, while getting much needed donations for voluntary efforts.
  • Hold a blood drive: It’s easy! Contact the Red Cross about holding a blood drive at your workplace, school, church, or other community center. Donating blood is a great way to give the much needed gift of life to your neighbors!

Colorado needs our help at this time. Come together with your community and help support them in their efforts.

Do you want to learn more about The High Park Fire? Check out Help Colorado Now for up-to-date volunteer information and residential needs. Our Colorado Action Center, United Way of Larimer County is a great resource for interested volunteers, as well.

Five Summer Volunteer Ideas for Teens

Thursday, June 28th, 2012

There is nothing like summer vacation as a teenager! With summer comes endless possibilities. It can be a chance to laze around and catch up on all of that terrible TV you missed during the school year, or it can be a learning and growing experience in your own community. Leave the couch behind and spend time volunteering this summer. Volunteering can help you learn new skills, understand more about your professional interests, and give you something to put on your resume for college applications and future paid positions!

Read on for summer volunteer ideas for teens.

Nursing Homes Why turn to your television for a good story this summer, when you could hear real life experiences from seniors in your local retirement community? Being around young people helps old people recreate memories. Volunteer tasks at nursing homes could include: office work; setting up the dining room; pushing wheelchairs; playing checkers, cards, and puzzles; having a conversation; delivering mail; helping write letters; reading aloud; cooking projects, and art projects.

Camp Consider volunteering at a nearby summer camp. Even if you’re too young to be a paid full-time counselor, look into counselor-in-training programs at a camp you’ve attended. CITs are usually 16 or 17 years old, depending on the camp. Volunteering at a camp combines the experience of volunteering with the fun of summer camp!

Hospitals If you’re interested in medicine, volunteering at your local hospital might be just the thing for you. Just call a hospital in your area and ask to speak to the volunteer coordinator. Volunteer tasks at hospitals keep it fresh, with tasks varying from stocking supplies, transporting patients with a nurse, making some pharmacy deliveries, bringing books to patients, sitting and talking to patients, and reading to patients.

Animal Shelters Why coo over pictures of cute animals online when you could play with them at your local animal shelter? Local animal shelters and vets are a great place to start looking for opportunities. Volunteer tasks may range from walking or playing with the animals, answering phones, escorting animals in and out, and cleaning the kennels. Look up veterinary offices and animal shelters and hospitals in your area and ask to speak to the office manager how you can help.

Libraries If you’re a big reader or just looking for a cool place to escape the summer sun, volunteering at your local library might be right for you. Library volunteers work in a variety of positions including the computer center, re-shelving books, and aiding with the children’s programs. Ask to speak to someone in volunteer services at your local library.

Are you volunteering somewhere during your summer vacation? Let us know in the comments below!

Today is National HIV Testing Day!

Wednesday, June 27th, 2012

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), June 27 is National HIV Testing Day, which promotes testing as an important strategy to detect, treat, and prevent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. HIV testing is the essential entry point to health care and social services that improve the quality of life and survival for persons who learn that they have HIV. Here are 4 ways you can get involved today!

  1. Get Tested! Many organizations provide FREE and confidential rapid HIV testing by appointment Monday-Friday. The rapid test takes 20 minutes using only a small drop of blood from your finger or by using an oral swab. Test results are given immediately and all HIV tests are completely confidential! 
  2. Offer prizes or and/or incentives to get people in the door to get tested! In Atlanta, Positive Impact will offer drawings for people who are tested on National HIV Testing Day for two giveaways, a $25 gift card and another prize worth $200, according to an organization spokesperson. Previous giveaways have included Amazon Kindle e-Readers and televisions.
  3. Host an event encouraging people to get tested! Consider these questions and ideas as you decide to plan an event: How can you raise awareness in your community in a way that reaches those most at risk and affected by the epidemic? What type of event would interest your target audience? How can the unique voices in your community can add meaning to your plans?  Consider these potential National HIV Testing Day (NHTD) events:  Hold a public forum or town hall meeting to talk about the impact of HIV/AIDS in your community; Encourage your newspaper or schools to sponsor essay or other contests; Hold a news conference with elected officials to raise public awareness of the impact of HIV/AIDS on your community; Ask other public officials and leaders to talk about the challenges in the response to the epidemic. For m ore information and ideas for NHTD check out www.Aids.gov.
  4. Visit your local drugstore to get tested. A new program sponsored by the CDC will offer quick HIV tests at local drugstores.The $1.2 million program will offer free rapid HIV tests at pharmacies and in-store clinics in 24 cities and rural communities. The tests are already available at seven places, and the CDC will soon pick 17 more locations. One of the companies, Walgreens, will begin the first part of its two-year program in select pharmacies throughout Chicago and Washington, D.C. and one Take Care Clinic in Lithonia, Ga., according to a press release.

 

In addition to these activities and events, you can also simply encourage your peers, friends, and family to get tested!

Stay Cool, Volunteer from Home!

Tuesday, June 26th, 2012

Yikes! It’s hot outside. We are expecting record high temperatures this summer. Who wants to go outside into the heat and humidity when there is an air conditioner on the inside?

Don’t let these high temperatures keep you from volunteering in your community during the summer. The summer is a great time to get into some indoor volunteer opportunities. What can you do? Check out our volunteer opportunities below!

  1. Plan your fall service project! There is nothing wrong with planning for service a little bit early. Service planning can actually take quite a bit of time. How can you plan your service project so early you may be asking yourself?
    • Decide on a service project location.
    • Check out their website. Find out whether or not you need to go through an orientation before you serve, get necessary certifications, etc.
    • Service project fill up quick, sign up early!
    • Recruit friends by calling them or sharing your project through social media channels
    • Make a list of supplies that you may need
  2. Gather gently used belongings that you can donate or sell at a garage sale to raise donations for your favorite charity! These are both great ways to volunteer without leaving the air conditioner because you not only get some cleaning done, but you can also largely help your community.
    • Go through your gently used goods and decide what you can give away and what you cannot possibly live without.
    • Sort these things into boxes or bags so that you know what you have
    • Locate your nearest shelter or donation center to bring your things too. Some organizations, such as the American Kidney Foundation, will even come and pick up your items!
    • If you are planning a yard sale get the word out by putting signs out around your neighborhood.
    • Decide what organization or causes you would most like to donate your proceeds to (maybe one that will benefit your local community?)
    • Let your neighbors know about your fundraising event and recruit their participation! It can be a great way to bring a community together in a beneficial way.
  3. Try micro-volunteering! Micro-volunteering is a form of virtual volunteering allowing people to serve nonprofits in an indirect way. A nonprofit may ask for a task to be completed online and a volunteer will respond to the task at hand. Service projects can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours. Websites such as sparked.com are great resources to find micro-volunteering opportunities!
  4. Assemble care packages or food baskets. Contact your local meals on wheels organization, church, or food bank and see what kinds of foods they are looking for. You can assemble meals for those who use their services and deliver them to be used for their community members. You can also check out veteran services to see how you can get involved in having an overseas pen pal!
  5. Bring out your inner artist! Turn your hobby into a service project!
    • Make pictures for a retirement center
    • Knit scarves, mittens, or hats for a local shelter
    • Make baby blankets for a women and children’s home
    • Make jewelry for a women’s shelter
    • Design dog or cat collars for an animal shelter or make toys

The summer is a great time to volunteer from home. Stay cool and help your community!

Pride Month: It’s Not All Just Rainbows

Monday, June 25th, 2012

Today’s post originally appeared on the VolunteerMatch blog site on June 21, 2012. The post was originally written by Cristopher Bautista, a current intern and blogger for VolunteerMatch. 

So this June is Pride month, when we celebrate the accomplishments of the LGBT community. I’m someone who works alongside nonprofit professionals. I’m also someone who benefits from the economic empowerment and healthcare services that local nonprofits provide. The fact that I’m a transgender person of color puts me in a demographic more likely to face employment discrimination and less likely to be able to access healthcare— it was this acute awareness of this injustice and my own negative experiences that motivated me to work for the nonprofit sector in the first place.

LGBT or not, we all need a home, food, employment, healthcare, and a sense of self worth. LGBT people are also people of color, immigrants, the young, the old, survivors of violence, the homeless, the poor, the under and uninsured, the unemployed, and the marginalized.

Regardless of how you feel about LGBT people and whether or not your organization is LGBT, those you serve and who work alongside you—a good chunk of those will be LGBT, whether they tell you or not. To serve your communities also means to serve the LGBT community.

So how can your organization adapt to the needs of LGBT people? Here are a couple pointers:

  • In the space where you interact with the people you serve, make sure there’s a visible sign that shows you are an LGBT ally. Think about hanging a rainbow flag someplace easily seen, or hanging “safe space” signs.
  • If you are a shelter, make sure that your policies cover the needs of transgender people, especially transgender women. (Read Transitioning Our Shelters: A Guide to Making Homeless Shelters Safe for Transgender People)
  • If you are an organization that serves women, make sure to mention that you also support transgender women somewhere visible on your website and print materials.
  • Train your employees in LGBT sensitivity. For those in the San Francisco Bay Area, public health consultant Willy Wilkinson actually offers free sensitivity training.
  • On your forms, think about adding a “preferred name” field. For most, it will simply be a place to write in a nickname. For transgender folks, this provides a space for them to disclose their transgender identity.
  • Make the extra effort to recruit LGBT volunteers, especially people of color and transgender people. In your recruiting efforts, make it clear that you want to serve the LGBT community, and part of that effort depends on volunteers.
  • When meeting transgender clients or volunteers, make sure to ask what pronouns they prefer. It might be an uncomfortable thing for you to ask, but asking about appropriate pronouns is common in the transgender community, and shows that you want to accommodate their needs. It will also be worth it to look up gender neutral pronouns.

June is certainly a month to celebrate the resilience of the LGBT community. This weekend is Pride weekend here in San Francisco, and I’ll be out there, waving my little rainbow flag. We’ve come a long way, and there is a lot to be proud of. But Pride is also a reminder that though there’s a lot to be thankful for, there’s a lot more we need to do.

Volunteering & Books go Hand-in-Hand this Summer!

Friday, June 22nd, 2012

As many sports, school, and television series conclude at the beginning or midway through the summer, people often choose to partake in summer reading. I choose summer reading to relax, to be entertained, and to, most importantly, to learn. Because me and several other of the folks are participating in some summer reading, I’ve compiled a list of five ways you can volunteer with books!

  1. Read! Read about ways in which you can coordinate volunteers in your community. Books related to volunteerism include the training and recognition of volunteers, as well as Collaboration and Community Organizing. Additional books of volunteerism highlight disaster response, diversity, virtual volunteering, leadership, and recruitment. As you may have noticed, there is so much information out there that is focused on volunteerism. So get to reading and learning!
  2. Instead of throwing your books away, donate your books to local organizations! While shopping in thrift stores, I often find myself shopping for books and other This sign at an awesome bookshop. items, just to see if I can catch a deal! In addition to finding great deals, book donations allow for low-income families to secure summer reading! Thanks to the YMCA, the Boys and Girls Club, and the Salvation Army, and several other organizations, you can donate your books or schedule your books to be picked up.
  3. Gather some friends and coordinate your own book drive in your neighborhood or community! Coordinating a book drive first begins, with marketing your book drive. Print flyers or mention the book drive in your facebook or twitter status to get the word out! This will allow you to do good, meet people in your community, all while hanging out with your friends.
  4. Participate in Books for Africa! With books for Africa, you can either contribute a monetary donation or book donation for a great cause. Additionally, Books For Africa accepts: 15 years old or newer popular fiction and nonfiction reading books (soft and hard cover); 1996 or newer publish date primary, secondary, and college textbooks (soft and hard cover); 1996 or newer reference books such as encyclopedias and dictionaries; 1996 or newer publish date medical, nursing, IT, and law books. Books for Africa also accepts school/office supplies including, paper, pencils, pens, wall charts, maps, etc.
  5. Recycle your books! Books wear out. They get water damage. They break down. You get tired of them or you’ve simply already read them. When your books have passed their time in your life, there are lots of things you can do with them including recycling them. Books cannot usually be recycled along with your other paper products, like newspaper, because of the binding glue. Book Destruction, a Grossman Group company, recycles whole books. They grind the books down and process them by repulping the paper to make new paper. Green Earth Book Recyclers works with Book Destruction to collect used textbooks from college students for recycling.

There are plenty of ways you can participate in book volunteerism this summer! We’d love to hear in the comments how you plan to volunteer with books or volunteer in general this summer!

Make Volunteers Your PR Agents

Thursday, June 21st, 2012

How do you share the story of the impact your volunteers and organization has on the community? Committed volunteers can be your organization’s best public relations agents, so why not involve your volunteers in community outreach? Volunteers help to convey a positive image of your organization’s work that, with some preparation, can be consistent with your public relations policies.

Read on for 11 tips to create a integrated & supportive volunteer involvement PR strategy.

  • Meet on a regular basis to discuss ways that volunteers can be useful in helping the organization garner attention and attract in-kind support.
  • Brainstorm targeted marketing ideas to find appropriate volunteer candidates.
  • Consider creating volunteer-driven marketing surveys to asses your organization’s image in the community.
  • Invite you organization’s volunteers to contribute to web content, be it a blog, social channel, or website, by keeping information updated, posting blog entries on a regular basis, and submitting stories and photographs.
  • Zero in on volunteers who effectively utilize social media and collaborate to develop ways for your organization to make full use of online opportunities.
  • Develop an ongoing calendar of important events and dates advertised to the public. Consider comparing and coordinating community outreach schedules and events to allow employees to share work and distribution of materials with volunteers.
  • Communicate and identify new community needs.
  • Share compelling public interest stories about the impact your volunteers have on their community to be shared with the public and key constituents.
  • In recognition of committed volunteers, develop ways to train select volunteers to be effective spokespeople. Consider targeting current volunteers with a social circle of new contacts in diverse and hard to reach spheres.
  • Have a game plan. Work together to develop a strategy to rebuild community support after a controversial incident.
  • Connect with your organization’s volunteers regularly as allies. Work together to highlight your organization’s range of services and it’s need for volunteers or other resources.

Summer is here! Enjoy the weather by volunteering at a festival!

Wednesday, June 20th, 2012

While the temperatures have said otherwise, today marks the first official day of summer! Summer offers you an abundance of opportunities to enjoy music, friends, family, and most importantly- the sun! Summer festivals attract people of all backgrounds to come together to enjoy one event dedicated to music, family fun, food, and more. Summer festivals also provide a fun and exciting way to volunteer.

Before volunteering with summer festivals, check out if the festival has any restrictions such as a minimum age requirement or weight lifting requirement. Next, decide how much you want to volunteer (e.g. a 4 hour shift or 8 hour shift). Many festivals require an application to see what kind of skills you can offer, to organize the volunteers based on preferred shifts, location, etc. After submitting your application, festival organizers will give you your assignment. Now that you’ve gotten the specifics taken care of, you’re free to have fun volunteering at your summer festival! Here are 3 festivals you may be interested in volunteering for!

  1. Be a Green Festival Volunteer in Washington, DC! The Green Festival occurs September 29 through September 30th Washington, DC and reconvenes in San Francisco and Los Angeles in November. Besides enjoying free access to the festivals, volunteers will have the chance to meet new people, have fun and support a great cause! Volunteers are a critical part of the Green Festival! The event would not be possible without them. As a member of our amazing volunteer team at Green Festival, you are an essential part of the nation’s leading sustainability event educating and activating people to make choices for a just and sustainable world!
  2. Volunteer with the 2012 Festival of the Arts in Lake Oswego, Oregon! This weekend, a dedicated group of people- from company teams to individual volunteers- work to celebrate the arts and produce a fantastic community event. It takes hundreds of volunteers to help it all come together, and volunteers like you are the driving force of the festival. There are a wide variety of volunteer positions open for the 2012 Festival. Shifts typically run in 3 hour increments, and are available all three days of the Festival. Volunteers are needed to greet guests, operate the festival’s information booth, or to handle administrative duties such as data entry and registration.
  3. Become a National Black Arts Festival Volunteer in Atlanta! From Friday, July 6th  to Sunday, July 15th! The National Black Arts Festival convenes in Atlanta, Georgia’s Centinnial Olympic  Park. To volunteer with this event, volunteers are encouraged to attend an orientation for all of the festival details. Share your pride, bring a friend and support the festival together. Orientations will uplift, inform, and educate you about NBAF. You can select from many fulfilling volunteer assignments such as, greeter, information booth guides, stage assistants, ushers, setup/load out, office support, etc.

For more information on all of these volunteer opportunities, check out the festival websites. Whatever you choose to do, all of us at HandsOnNetwork hope you have fun!

iHubs: Strengthening Our Civic Network

Tuesday, June 19th, 2012

Today’s post originally appeared on the Points of Light blog site on June 18, 2012.

HandsOn Network is engaged in a focused field investment strategy called Innovation Hubs (iHubs), designed to dramatically accelerate the growth, effectiveness and impact of our network. Through iHubs we are engaging a cohort of our strongest, most progressive market leaders to formulate innovative approaches and pilot best-in-class initiatives with the intent of scaling the most impactful opportunities to benefit the entire network, and ultimately, the communities we serve.

In 2011, through a competitive application process, 10 affiliates were selected to comprise the initial iHub cohort. Leveraging resources provided by Points of Light’s Service Generation Campaign, these affiliates also received leadership development training, coaching and $30,000 in seed funding to launch and learn from their own concepts of innovation. By 2014, we plan to expand to 30 iHubs.

Our strategy compels a conversation that teams with possibility. Imagine the potential of a learning cohort of nonprofit executive leaders and funders who are committed to identifying, testing, implementing and evaluating replicable models for 21st century volunteer engagement. Imagine the power of 30 iHubs to change local communities and to influence, guide and mentor an additional 230 HandsOn Network affiliates. As a result, we have the opportunity to lift up the work of the entire network and test cutting-edge strategies for engaging more than 70,000 nonprofit partners and millions of volunteers.

Current HandsOn Network affiliate iHubs include:

  • Volunteer Center of Bergen County
  • Boston Cares
  • New York Cares
  • HandsOn Twin Cities
  • Chicago Cares
  • HandsOn Central Ohio
  • Volunteer Center of Santa Cruz County
  • Seattle Works
  • Center for Volunteer and Nonprofit Leadership
  • HandsOn Greater Portland

Below are a few examples of the innovative work from iHubs:

Boston Cares believes their future and the future of HandsOn Network depends more than just telling stories, but requires showing them. They use new tools including info graphics, data animation and visual statistics to reveal volunteerism for what it is – our nation’s most untapped resource.

Seattle Works is building on the concepts of collective giving and team-based volunteering to break down the silos between donors, volunteers and causes. Their innovative concept is to develop an integrated service model that brings together groups of investors and creates unified teams to seed, lead, staff and support projects from concept to evaluation.

One of the more provocative iHubs projects comes to us from HandsOn Greater Portland. As a way to lessen their dependence on more traditional funding sources, this affiliate seeks to test market the feasibility of offering tailor-made service learning experiences and issue-based service opportunities to individuals and groups for a fee.

By investing in iHubs, there is an opportunity to significantly expand and transform the nation’s long-standing civic infrastructure. We can help reimagine a network of service and civic geographically based hubs that have been vital to local communities for 100 years. The iHubs initiative can ensure the vitality and efficacy of this network for a new generation of engagement for the next century.

For more information please contact Paul Hollahan at , or .

10 Ways to Better Your Networking Skills for NCVS

Monday, June 18th, 2012

Today marks the start of National Conference on Volunteering and Service sessions! This year’s conference brings thousands of people together. From volunteers to nonprofit leaders NCVS is a great place to network. Not only will you learn about great resources to improve your organization and volunteer work, but also you will meet a great deal of people who can offer you are variety of things from knowledge to professional development.

How will you every find the time to actually network around thousands of people? Today’s blog post features 10 tips that will ensure you success at a big conference.

  1. Organize a plan of action: Know who you want to meet prior to the actual conference. Plan to register for the sessions featuring speakers that you are interested in. Make sure you know what organization will be there and who will be representing them. Make a schedule for yourself so that you do not miss anybody that you would like to meet.
  2. Plan ahead: Set appointments with attendees who you would like to meet while at conference. Try emailing or calling the person to see whether or not they have free time to go to lunch with you or have 5 minutes to speak with you before a session. Do not hope that you will run into them, chances are that you will not.
  3. Do not focus on meeting the big cheese: Try not to focus all your energy on meeting the celebrity speakers, as this opportunity is almost impossible. You will be one of hundreds to speak with that speaker during his session, not creating a very distinct impression. Focus on the other attendees, who know who you will meet and what they may have to offer you.
  4. Focus on your peers: The person sitting next to you may your greatest networking asset. You never know what they can offer you, right? When you walk into the session, take the time to introduce yourself to the people sitting around you. Find out which organization they are affiliated with to find out about possible job offerings or partnerships. This will become easier, the more that you do it!
  5. Ask questions: Break the ice by asking attendees questions about themselves. People are more likely to carry on a conversation with you when they feel comfortable.
  6. Turn off your phones please: Utilize your break time to speak with others. When you quickly run to your laptop or cell phone during break out sessions, people are less likely to approach you because you are giving off the message that you are busy.
  7. Friend request pending: Do not send a Facebook friend request or LinkedIn invite directly after you meet someone. Ask the person with whom you are speaking with if they would mind accepting an invitation, before you actually send it to them.
  8. Know their work: Many people are active bloggers or have active social media accounts. Seek out this information prior to conference. Let that person know that you read their blog to break the ice when discussing how you have heard of them.
  9. Make an introduction: When you meet a cool person share them with others. Introduce this individual to your connections at the conference whom he or she may be interested in based on the questions you have asked previously. Do not think about what is in it for me, rather how can I help you out.
  10. Follow up: Always thank a person who you connected with at a conference to leave a lasting positive impression on that person. A simple thank you email or handwritten note thanking them for their time spent speaking with you will establish that networked connection. That person may be more willing to help you in your professional endeavors.

 

We hope that you all have fun in Chicago this week! Remember, you will never have the opportunity to meet new people in a big setting, if you do not step out of your shell.
