Volunteer: CASA Volunteer's Needed

CASA Children’s Intervention Services is looking for volunteers! Our volunteers are appointed by the Juvenile and Domestic Relations judges to advocate for the best interests of the child in cases of abuse or neglect.

CASA volunteers are members of the community who receive extensive education and training in order to advocate for abused and neglected children – who through no fault of their own – are thrust into juvenile and domestic relations court and often, into foster care.

Volunteers work with legal and child welfare professionals, educators and service providers to ensure that judges have all the information they need to make the most well-informed decisions for each child.

Please consider giving your time to help a child in need.

The first step is to attend one of our monthly virtual information sessions to hear about the role of the advocate, the application process and the training requirements.

 Contact JoAnn Polen at jpolen@casacis.org for the link to upcoming meetings.

Volunteer: Inspire Independence! Co-raise a future service dog puppy!

Raise a future service dog together with a friend, a family member or another puppy raiser. Become a volunteer co-raiser to help provide more life-changing service dogs to people with disabilities! As a co-raiser, you'll share the exciting journey of preparing our future service dogs.

No prior dog experience is necessary (we offer mentorship options for first-time raisers.) More flexibility & shorter time commitments while becoming part of an extraordinary community of fellow puppy raisers, volunteers & graduates

Here's the commitment you'll share for the 14 - 18 month journey:

Provide a safe and loving environment for a puppy (the only dog under 12 months old in your home). Teach the puppy manners and basic skills with guidance from our supportive network of experienced staff & volunteers. Collaborate closely to monitor the puppy’s progress. Share responsibility for food, feeding a recommended diet, veterinary expenses, and attending an average of two puppy classes per month (either run by Canine Companions or pre-approved classes). Transport the dog to the regional training center at the projected turn-in time. Offer the puppy age-appropriate socialization opportunities, including public outings and veterinary appointments. Ensure the puppy's safety by keeping it on a leash at all times unless supervised in a securely fenced area, and provide a kennel or crate for sleeping indoors. Supervise the puppy throughout the day (some volunteers may even bring their puppy to work with permission).

Volunteer: Board Member

Independence Empowerment Center (IEC) is a Center for Independent Living as defined by the U.S. Department of Education. IEC provides services enabling adults and children with disabilities to improve the quality of their lives, determine their own lifestyle, participate in all aspects of society, and secure their human and civil rights. IEC also provides a means for consumer control and policy direction of the service delivery systems affecting people with disabilities.

Governance:  IEC is organized as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization governed by its members and a member-elected Board of Directors. Individuals on the Board serve three-year terms and (by directive) at least one-half of the Board must be comprised of people with disabilities. The Board elects officers including President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer. Formal Board activity includes an annual membership meeting, regular Board meetings and Committee work (Executive, Personnel and Finance). At the discretion of the Board President on an as needed basis, special meetings are called, or ad hoc committees formed. The Board currently meets on a bi-monthly basis on the fourth Tuesday of the month at 4:00 PM in person at IEC’s offices in Manassas or virtually. Directors and officers serve without compensation. 

Roles and Responsibilities:  The Board is the oversight body that is legally responsible for IEC’s operation. The Board has a fiduciary responsibility to provide accountability and transparency to the community by ensuring that the center is operating legally and effectively within its corporate framework. 

The Board develops policy, establishes long-range plans, attracts resources, advises the Executive Director on procedures to maintain a safe and productive work environment, and ensures financial stability. Specific responsibilities include tax filings, audits, annual reports, and insurance decisions. 

The Board hires, supervises and evaluates an Executive Director. Though the Board has oversight responsibility for IEC, it is not normally involved in its day-to-day activities. The Board communicates with staff through the Executive Director. 

In addition to the Board’s legal and fiduciary role, Board members share in other responsibilities including IEC’s growth and development. Each Board member contributes her/his unique perspectives and skill sets to direct and operate IEC effectively and efficiently, advocates for its constituents and their rights, increases IEC’s visibility in the communities it serves and maintains and develops funding sources.

Requirements and Qualifications:  IEC relies on its Board members for clear direction and long-term success and sustainability. In part success requires placing people with a keen interest in serving the greater good in key board positions who can assist in setting goals and performance objectives; develop, implement, and execute a strategic plan and aids the Executive Director in guiding the overall management and administration of the organization. 

Board members should possess certain attributes that align with IEC’s mission and purpose, to include:

A sincere interest in the ability of individuals with disabilities to lead independent lifestyles. A firm conviction that IEC performs a useful public service. A strong belief in the importance of IEC’s role in the community. An expertise in areas of greatest need to IEC and/or connections to such resources in the community (e.g., development/fundraising, finance, management, legal, personnel, marketing/public relations, technology, disability issues). Ability and willingness to advocate on behalf of and represent a current or potential service population. 

Board members are expected to be active participants in Board activities:

Regularly attend and participate in Board and Committee meetings. Motivate oneself and others to achieve IEC goals and objectives which requires a willingness to volunteer for specific calls to action as needed. Listen with an open mind, engage in critical thinking and creative problem solving, and guide group decision making for the benefit of the whole. Maintain awareness of changing needs in the community. Support and participate in fundraising activities. Endeavor to help the Board and IEC accomplish their work thoroughly, effectively, and efficiently. 

It is expected that Board members will:

Be actively involved, including 2 hours every other month for Board meetings and up to two additional hours per month for Committee meetings and/or representing IEC at other community/business functions in the local area. Employ his/her talents and contacts. Receive training on Board responsibilities and IEC’s organizational structure and operations. Be available to address unexpected problems or developments. Participate on at least one Board committee.

The best Board members are dedicated to the key issues of independent living and are willing to take stands on significant issues effecting the disability community. Likewise, they are in tune with the philosophical commitment and purposes of IEC. Board members who have personal disabilities or direct experience with disability through family, friends, and/or career are a great asset to IEC. 

To operate effectively, IEC requires a variety of management skills and looks to Board members to supplement the skills of IEC staff. Individuals with a working knowledge of finance, law, management, business administration, and social policy and persons influential in the community are of immense value to IEC. These skills can mean the difference between success and failure. Board members who have these skills and/or know how to recruit and access others in the community possessing these skills are our lifeline. People with disabilities are encouraged to join our board.

If you need more information, please contact Dr. Lopez at 703-257-5400 ext. 117. Dial the extension as soon as you hear the recording.

Volunteer: BRMC Trail Maintenance Volunteer

We need your help to conserve Leopold’s Preserve!

Volunteer: Shoe Saver

  Volunteer Project Description:   By hosting a shoe drive you can create community engagement, provide new opportunities for those in need AND give back to the environment. All you have to do is rally everyone you know to clean out their closets and donate their used shoes. You will pick them up from them or have places for them to drop-off. We have branded S4S boxes you are welcome to use and place (with the place’s permission) at your office, church, library, school, local business, grocery store, etc. When you finish collecting, you will bring them to the Soles4Souls Regional Donation Center in Richmond, VA. At this point you have completed your drive.   About Our Mission:   Soles4Souls creates sustainable jobs and provides relief through the distribution of shoes and clothing around the world. It’s estimated that 21 billion pounds of textile waste is dumped in landfills every year. That makes up more than 5% of all municipal waste generated every year. Since 2006, Soles4Souls has diverted 23.8 million pounds of shoes and clothes from landfills and instead created meaningful economic opportunities and helped provide new shoes for those in need around the globe. Gently-worn shoes collected help individuals start and sustain small businesses to lift themselves and their families out of poverty.

Here are the steps for conducting a shoe drive:

Register to host a shoe drive for a specific period of time and with a goal in mind. I would bring/send you a collection box or you can come pick it up. You line this with a hefty duty garbage bag and replace as it gets full. Try to find people-facing locations to host boxes for you if you prefer. I can help you with this! Communicate your drive! This a link to different logos, images, etc that you can use. If you haven’t already, check out our YouTube channel for inspiration! There are also flyers attached. Optional: we can issue a press release and/or geo-targeted social media posts about your shoe drive. Take lots of pictures and share with me so I can feature your group’s efforts! Also, follow our local Facebook page here. Once the drive concludes, make sure all the pairs are rubber-banded together or laces are tied and the total amount is counted. You can drop them off one of our warehouses or bins in garbage bags! You will coordinate your drop-off time with me. One additional thing to note– every 20 pairs donated, counts as one hour of service plus all the time spent marketing your drive, collecting and preparing shoes and anything else relevant to your shoe drive!

Impact:

Here is the impact an entrepreneur can make with the sale of 1, 20 or 30 pairs of shoes:
1 pair of shoes can provide 5 meals for Marie-Ange and her family in Haiti,
20 pairs of shoes can provide a year’s worth of shelter for Ginette and her family in Haiti and
30 pairs of shoes can provide a year’s worth of schooling for Tracy’s daughter in Honduras
