Would you like to make a big difference in the lives of senior citizens in the community? You can do this by helping seniors stay independent by joining the dedicated team of Sterling Rides volunteers at SCI.  Sterling Rides volunteers carry seniors to their doctor's appointments, grocery shopping, hair appointments, errands, and social outings.  The commitment is flexible- you pick the rides and the seniors that you want to drive.  SCI also offers a small gas stipend to volunteers to help offset the cost of driving. This is a wonderful program that could help so many seniors who do not have transportation.  Do you have spare time to dedicate to causes unrelated to work or family?  Help older adults maintain a sense of purpose. Our success is closely tied to the well-being of the communities around us.

In-office training included.  SCI also does a background check and driving record check.  Minimum of 3 months commitment preferred.

Our organization needs flexible volunteers who can sit with children in foster care while DFCS case managers look for placement. This will require a full background screening and short training.

It is often last minute when we learn a child will be in the DFCS office during the day. We need a group of volunteers who will be notified by email and text that a child is in need of supervision. The volunteer will then come to the DFCS office and spend time with the child during a time that can be scary for them. Volunteers will not provide counseling or ask questions of the child; they will distract the child with fun activities until a case manager is able to take them to their new foster placement. 

This volunteer opportunity is best for individuals who are flexible during the day. 

Are you interested in helping adult learners in one or more of the following areas:  test taking skills, reading, math, spelling, writing, basic computer literacy, ESOL?

The Adult & Community Education (ACE) Program at Royce Learning Center is always seeking volunteers to work on an on-going basis with our adult learners as facilitators of learning, encouraging them to set and attain their goals.

Volunteers help adult learners of all ages and abilities prepare for anything from learning how to read, basic math/budgeting skills, and computer skills to studying for the General Education Development Diploma (GED) or Workplace promotion tests, and more. 

No teaching experience is necessary, but a desire to be a supportive and active participant in their journey is a must.
Teachers and tutors are on site during the classes and Zoom. Volunteer tutors work with each learner to develop an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) that targets their needed skill(s). Volunteers help by providing one-to-one support alongside the teachers and other tutors.
A tutor training workshop for new volunteers is provided by Royce every semester.

DUETkids is a 501c dedicated to teaching at risk, underserved and low income students who may never have the opportunity to learn how to play an instrument. This is a critical need in a child’s life, especially a child who may be trauma affected or have adverse childhood experiences (ACE).

As a small organization, we are in need of someone who is adept at grant writing and/or fundraising. If this is your superpower, please…save us! We have more mission than money and with more and more requested programs needing funding, we are in begging mode! 

Contact us today if you are ready to help change a child’s brain with the peer reviewed, study verified, brain synapse creating power of learning a musical instrument!

    DUETkids has opportunities for area music teachers or people able to teach piano, or any other instrument, to reach into a students life where they are at the time.

    Sometimes this is in an emergency shelter, children’s home, domestic violence shelter, or a housing project.Sometimes it is through a zoom lesson. Where ever a child is, that is where we will meet them. Can you teach a musical instrument? Are you willing to give a few hours or even just one, to a child who will take your lessons with them throughout their life?

    If you are able to teach a child, please let contact us. It just takes one person to change another person’s life, let it be you.

A CASA volunteer is appointed by a Chatham County Juvenile Court Judge to watch over and advocate for abused and neglected children, to make sure they don’t get lost in the overburdened legal and social service system or languish in an inappropriate group or foster home. They stay with each case until it is closed and the child is placed in a safe, permanent home. For many abused children, their CASA volunteer will be the one constant adult presence.

Because children are often unable to provide a voice for themselves during this critical and difficult time of their life, a CASA volunteer makes it possible to be their voice by advocating on their behalf.

Savannah CASA is always recruiting volunteers to serve as CASAs
