Volunteer: Family-Friendly DIY Projects

When families roll up their sleeves and participate in meaningful service projects, they quickly learn that they can make a difference in creating a better community– and a better world. We’ve put this tool kit together for instances in which your family can’t make it to Family Volunteer Day (Fall event), want to participate from home for Family Day of Service (Spring event), or when you simply want to get the family together to do some good. These volunteer opportunities are strictly DIY and can be completed from the comfort of your own home. 

All instructions for the projects, and getting your donations to us for distribution are included in the toolkit. 

When you respond to this need, a VCSJ team member will send you the complete toolkit to get started.

Volunteer: Career Readiness Workshop Developer/Facilitator

Description:

We are currently seeking a seasoned business professional to assist in the development and facilitation of a career readiness workshop in support of the Jersey Cares Youth Workforce Development Program. As part of this program, participating interns are required to dedicate 120 hours to a nonprofit organization and engage in a minimum of two career readiness workshops.

Recognizing the diverse schedules and geographical locations of our interns across the state, we have identified the need for an innovative approach to workshop delivery. In lieu of traditional in-person sessions, we aim to leverage technology to provide accessible learning opportunities. Specifically, we are requesting workshop developers and facilitators to create slideshows on a topic listed below and record their presentations for our archives. This format enables interns to access and engage with the workshop content at their convenience, aligning with their individual schedules.

This initiative presents a great opportunity for volunteers to contribute their expertise towards preparing our youth for successful entry into the workforce.

 

Workshop Topics:

 

Financial Literacy Work/life balance Interviewing Networking Management/Learning to lead Time Management Resume Building/Writing Goal Setting
