Do you enjoy reading? Are you are a 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, we have used younger narrators that have voice over or acting experience for specific titles, working through their parents. If volunteers are 16+ they can apply and take the fit quiz to see what role they would match up with best. If the volunteer is looking for short-term volunteering, we suggest having them do Quality Assurance.

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

Medical Bill Coding Audit Reports can provide clients information to negotiate a medical bill and prevent financial hardship.

Key Responsibilities Accurately and securely collect and retain client medical bills and needed documentation for medical bill coding audits Audit medical bills and claims Provide a medical bill code audit report along with recommendations to consumers with billing coding errors or overcharges Provide guidance for recommended medical billing coding appeals and complaints Requirements Experience in medical bill coding audits Organized and detail oriented Computer literate.

Please fill out this application if you or your family are able to assist one of your Broomfield neighbors. You will be matched with a neighbor as close to your home as possible.

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).

As an organization focused on supporting well being in our community, Metro Caring sits at the front lines of the current COVID-19 pandemic and is the number one anti-hunger organization in Denver. We are committed to staying open to help families and older individuals put healthy food on the table. COVID-19 Volunteers Guidelines We are looking for volunteers who can help support us as we ensure our community has access to healthy and nutritious food. Please find our current volunteer guidelines below. 1. Per CDC risk guidelines, we are only accepting volunteers who are 64 or younger and healthy. Volunteers who have a medical condition like heart disease, diabetes, lung disease, or are immune compromised should not come in to volunteer for at least the next 8 weeks. If you are over 64 years of age or older we ask you do not visit Metro Caring at this time. 2. We are seeking fewer volunteers for more frequent shifts to reduce the risk of exposure. Can you volunteer for 3 or more shifts a week? 3.People with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported - ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms or combinations of these symptoms may have COVID-19: cough, fever, sneezing, chills, repeated shaking with chills, shortness of breath, muslce pain, headache, sore throat, new loss of taste or sense of smell should not apply to volunteer at this time. Volunteers who have been exposed to or are symptomatic for the virus are not eligible until your quarantine period is over and you have been cleared by a doctor. 4. Metro Caring will continue normal hours but we are distributing pre-packed boxes. We have implemented a Drive-Thru and Walk up food distribution for the time being. 5. If you are coming in to volunteer we ask that you only volunteer for one shift- either morning (8:30 am - 12 pm), afternoon (12:05 - 3 pm), Tuesday evenings (5:30 - 8 pm) and Sundays (10 am - 1 pm) and not a full day. This is to ensure that we are not compromising our safety and minimizing exposure. 6. A mask is required to enter our building. Please come with a mask or some form of face covering to all shifts. If you are able and interested in volunteering please sign-up at the link below. This is to ensure we have enough volunteers but are still adhering to 'social distancing' and keeping everyone safe. https://metrocaring.secure.force.com/GW_Volunteers__PersonalSiteJobCalendar?Language=en-us&nMonthsToShow=1

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!
