Vol. 5 Issue 11 Be The Change. Volunteer November 2016
Greetings! do you feel that chill in the air? That crisp air of fall is the first messenger of winter, so it's time to get ready for the cold. And the very best way to warm up the winter is by joining the Jersey Cares Coat Drive. We need your help to warm 30,000 of our neighbors who need a coat, and you'll feel pretty warm-hearted yourself when you make it happen. You can also serve meals on Thanksgiving Day with Hunger Helpers in Newark or Pack and Deliver in Jersey City,
or volunteer for one of hundreds of other projects throughout the holidays.
ServiceWorks - Preparing Students for Careers and Life
Year three of our ServiceWorks program has kicked off and we are looking for volunteer Success Coaches and Skills Trainers to prepare students to succeed in life.
Last month, Jersey Cares partnered with Alexion Pharmaceuticals' corporate headquarters to coordinate their first-ever Global Day of Service, when 400+ volunteers changed the face of Hill Regional Career High School.
Take volunteering to the next level and become a Project Coordinator. Project Coordinators lead Jersey Cares’ recurring volunteer opportunities and serve as a liaison between volunteers, our nonprofit partners and Jersey Cares. They inspire volunteers to “Be the Change” and provide direction during projects. It’s a fun learning opportunity in which you get to network with nonprofits and other community leaders while being supported by a cohort of other volunteer leaders. Project Coordinators commit to lead two or more projects per month for six months at a time. Please Visit our website or contact Amanda Naftaly to learn more.
