Volunteer Opportunities From: Volunteer Prince William

The Maintenance and Operations Division is seeking trail monitor volunteers. Trail monitors will walk a trial, or section of trail, on a weekly basis. During their walk they will pick up litter and look for maintenance issues, such as damaged trees and hanging branches, standing water, trail washouts, etc. Trail monitors will take pictures of identified issues and report their findings to the Maintenance and Operations Division.

Please include what trail(s) you will be interested in monitoring in your response to this opportunity. A complete map of trails can be found on the Prince William Recreation Mapper under the "trails" tab.

Everyone can do something to show our Veterans how much we appreciate their service. 

What will you do?

Capital Caring Health is seeking Prince William County volunteers to provide respite and companionship for patients and families of those in hospice care. Volunteers provide companionship, play cards, read books, prepare light meals, run errands and provide respite so the primary caregiver has an opportunity to take a breath and reenergize. Email Diana at Dioanid@capitalcaring.org

Some more information: We are looking for you because several of our Capital Caring Health social workers and nurses are asking for items to help with anxiety, pain, and isolation. Research shows tactile stimulation can help to "center" or refocus those in pain, those who are experiencing anxiety or those with dementia.

Sensory quilts, blankets, twiddle muffs and aprons- I can’t express how comforting these items are to patients who are in pain or anxious, we anticipate in the next few months we will see an increase in the need for these. These can be made a variety of ways and with a variety of items, creativity is endless here. 

St Thomas UMC Food Pantry needs volunteers who can do weekly food donation pickups at area grocery stores providing food donations. Donations are picked up between 8am-10am Monday-Saturday and brought back to the food pantry. This opportunity is best for someone who is able to commit to weekly pickups at the same location. If you are not able to do it weekly, but would be willing to be on our sub list we would love to have you as well! We could use several people who would be available periodically if one of our regular volunteers is unable to be there.

The primary duties for this opportunity are weekly pickups of food at the grocery store receiving area, transport it to the food pantry in your vehicle (a larger vehicle or minivan is recommended), and help unload it with the food pantry volunteers. It takes approximately 1-2 hours or less, depending on where the grocery store is and traffic, etc. You must have the ability to lift approximately 40lbs.

Our donation pickup volunteers are integral to the continued operation of our food pantry. We would love to have you join our team! Please click on the Respond button and someone will contact you with more information.

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:

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

It is expected that Board members will:

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.

What this work entails is walking the trails at the preserve and picking up trash, reporting any issues (like tree fall and where it occurred), and taking photos (can be with your phone or camera!) of anything you see that's interesting. This is an ongoing project and can be done any day of the week for as long you'd like based on how many hours you want to be involved.
