  • Deliver much-needed food boxes to seniors in Clintonville!
    Organization / Clintonville-Beechwold Community Resources Center
    Campus: Columbus

    We are looking for a few dedicated volunteers (or members of a larger group) to deliver food boxes once a month to seniors. CSFP is a federal program that ensures adults 60 and over who meet income guidelines receive shelf-stable food items. Many of the seniors we serve are unable to collect their boxes in person due to a variety of factors. We’re looking for volunteers to help bridge that gap. A typical shift will last approximately 2 hours and will involve: picking up food boxes from CRC; driving to seniors’ homes; bringing the food box inside of a residence, getting a signature, and leaving prepared information about the next delivery. Volunteers can expect to make 5 deliveries during their shift. Requirements: - Volunteers should be able to comfortably lift 20-30 pounds, the weight of the food boxes. - Volunteers should have use of their own car and have a Drivers’ License - Volunteers will need to complete a CRC volunteer application and background check, if one has not already been completed. **Groups are welcome to apply! This is a great once per month service opportunity for student organizations. The deliveries are very easy and offer a great chance to directly interact with your fellow community members.

  • Volunteer Tutors for K-3
    Organization / A Good Start
    Campus: Columbus

    A Good Start Family Literacy Tutoring program meets Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:00-6:00 pm. The children who enroll are provided with a snack when they arrive and then participate in group and individual tutoring based on need and available tutors. At 5:30 p.m. dinner is served. Tutors are welcome to stay and share the meal with the children. Developing a relationship of trust and respect is of upmost importance in A Good Start Programs. Our programs focus our efforts on providing quality literacy experiences for children and families in the Weinland Park and Linden neighborhoods. We accept children and families from all backgrounds, religions, socio economic groups, and family structures. Families are not asked to pay. Families are our partners in these experiences. Supervised by the Director of Tutoring, tutors will only directly tutor depending on their level of ability and their comfort with material and curriculum. Each tutor will be interviewed and attend a training where they will submit an application and a resume (if possible) to help match their skills and experiences with students and clarify their role in the program. Some tutors may be asked to observe, assist with non-tutoring tasks (snack/meal or materials prep) and/or support tutoring until their skills match a student's needs. Tutors will be required to have a BCI on file (funding for this may be provided). Interested tutors with education and/or experience in education, early childhood development or other related and applicable fields of study will be given priority consideration to provide individual tutoring. Please submit a letter of interest to agoodstart.maynard@gmail.com
