Do you enjoy reading? Are you are an expressed audiobook recorder, subject matter expert, educator, retired professional or just looking to use your voice to make a difference? Learning Ally needs voices to narrate high school and college level textbooks. Textbook readers will join a community of virtual volunteers in creating audiobooks for students with learning differences. To become a reader, volunteers will need to go through an online training course, submit an audition and pass an equipment check before becoming a reader. Get started by completing 3-easy-steps on this link. The last step includes our fit quiz which helps put volunteers in the role that best suits them. We are currently looking for textbook volunteers only to read/record science, math, foreign language, and many more subjects. Once volunteers get through the fit quiz, we prefer they select the textbook training course. If you do not believe you fit the textbook role, feel free to explore our other opportunities. You can find more detailed descriptions of volunteer roles here. For our younger volunteers: We have a minimum age requirement of 16 years for most roles. However, if you are detail-oriented, have a well-established vocabulary, and are willing to learn, we would love to have you. If you are looking for short-term volunteering to fulfill service hours, we suggest doing Quality Assurance. However, we are limited in QA opportunities right now.

Our vision is that all Coloradans can access affordable, high-quality and equitable health care.

Food Bank of the Rockies (FBR) is the largest, private, hunger-relief organization in Colorado, distributing over 130,000 meals daily through over 1,000 hunger-relief partner agencies, as well as FBR's many direct service programs. These programs include: Kid's Cafe, providing prepared meals to children at child care facilities. Totes of Hope, providing discreet backpacks of food to children for the weekend, when other nutrition programs are not available. USDA programs, such as the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) that provides a monthly food allowance to seniors. Denver's Table Food Rescue Program, that sends refrigerated trucks to collect surplus food from retailers. Mobile Pantry, that distributes food in rural communities and under-served urban communities. Each month, a group from Metro Volunteers helps FBR with packing food boxes, reclamation of food donated by individuals and food retailers, or (most often) distribution of food boxes under the CSFP. This work is not demanding, but volunteers should be comfortable lifting boxes weighing about 20 pounds, and should expect to be working outside some of the time. The FBR warehouse is located near I-70 and Havana, and volunteers need to arrive between 8:30 and 8:45. The work finishes by 12:30, although volunteers will often be able to leave earlier than that, depending on how busy we are. NOTE: FBR requires that volunteers wear closed toe shoes and a shirt with sleeves. NOTE: Since the number of volunteers I can bring is restricted, this project is not suitable for groups of more than 2 or 3 people. If you have any questions, please contact the project coordinator, Lindsay Packer (click on the email link below).

Big Brothers Big Sisters mentor 2.0 program matches students from Englewood High School with college-educated mentors and provides them with the support and guidance they need to graduate high school and succeed in college and the workforce. Mentor/mentee matches get to know each other through an innovative combination of weekly emails (via a secure web-based platform) and monthly group events that mentor2.0 organizes and hosts. These monthly events (approximately 7-8 per school year) are always 6-8pm at the school, on weekdays, and are mandatory. Due to Covid-19 things are subject to change, but as of now we are still planning on making new matches at Englewood High. The exact timing of those matches is still to be determined, but one possible option is matching new students in the November & December range in order to “launch” mentor/mentee content in January 2021. This plan takes into account the fact that even though the week-to-week aspect of mentor2.0 is virtual, in-person meetings are quite valuable in getting new matches headed in the right direction. For more information about this program please watch a short video Mentor 2.0 Video . By submitting this inquiry you will be contacted soon about next steps in the application process. Thanks for all you do!
