Here are a few opportunities we currently need help with:
Classroom Aides
Creative Options: Centers for Early Education are looking for classroom volunteers to work with preschoolers 3-5 years old. Read to children, get creative with art projects, help teachers on field trips, etc. This is a perfect opportunity to be a positive role model in a child’s life.
Employment Mentors
Our Employment Works department is looking for volunteers to help support and provide tools to individuals with disabilities who are seeking employment. The focus is to support the job seeker with their employment goals. Mentors work with job seekers to search online for job postings, help fill out applications, write resumes, practice interviews, and most importantly, get the most out of the relationship! Visit www.employmentworks.org to learn more about their services to the community.
Know How to Sew? You Can Help!
The Infantile Scoliosis Outreach Program (ISOP), one of our Statewide Services programs, is looking for volunteers to sew "cooling vests." Cooling vests are for infants/small children currently undergoing the casting process for their scoliosis. These vests allow the children to go outside during the summer and help them live more comfortably in the heat of the summer months. A photo of the vests can be found on the homepage of www.infantilescoliosis.com. The vests take about 3 hours to sew and ISOP will provide all materials.
Database Assistant
Family Voices Colorado, one of our Statewide Services programs, is looking for a database volunteer. Duties include calling contacts to verify database information, entering, updating, and finding new resources for database. File and update handout materials as needed. Experience with Microsoft Access a must. Find out more about Family Voices Colorado by visiting their website at www.familyvoicesco.org.
