Opportunities From: Volunteer Spokane

"A Matter of Balance" (MOB) is an award winning program designed to reduce the fear of falling and increase the activity levels of older adults who have concerns about falls.  Class participants learn to view falls and fear of falling as controllable, set realistic goals for increasing activity, change their environment to reduce fall risk factors and promote exercise to increase strength and balance.

The MOB program utilizes Volunteer Coaches to teach the eight two-hour sessions.  Classes are held in a variety of community-based settings and are led by two Volunteer Coaches. 

Volunteer Coaches receive eight hours of training by MOB Master Trainers.  Once trained, Volunteer Coaches are provided with the opportunity to observe MOB classes prior to teaching classes themselves. 

Volunteer Coaches should possess good communication and interpersonal skills, enthusiasm, dependability, a willingness to lead a small group, an interest in working with older adults and an ability to perform range of motion and low-level endurance exercises.  Experience in education or health care is a plus.

At U-District Mentoring, we believe that everyone has something to offer as a mentor. It doesn’t take much to greatly impact a child's life. By showing up consistently, for four hours each month, you can help to decrease depression symptoms, increase self confidence, and encourage higher educational goals for your mentee. Forming these relationships and expanding a child’s horizons can be one of the most rewarding experiences.

Unlike other mentoring programs, we don’t have a waitlist of children. Instead, we intentionally match the mentor and the child based on interests and experiences. Hoping to be matched with a child that likes to paint or play sports? With the help of school counselors, we work to find that perfect match. 

The commitment level is easy, even for the busiest of people. You can create the schedule and get to plan each outing!

We have volunteers who come to the Wiener Ranch and hug dogs.  This is the easiest gig ever if you like dogs.

The time is at 10 am daily with an appointment in advance so no one gets chomped.  Send an email to schedule.  We are open with appointments on weekdays as well as weekends. 

Having folks come to the farm and hug dogs helps us get them socialized before they are placed in their new homes.  Most come inside and sit and we turn loose the hounds.  If you can't stay seated when asked or are terrified of a group of wiener dogs then this is not the volunteer job for you.

We are located on a farm northwest of Spokane and out of town.  There is no bus line to this area so you will need a car and drive yourself to visit us.

I am open for visitors at 10 am daily ONLY with an appointment in advance.  We need to have large watch dogs locked up so no one is injured.  If roads are too icy or dangerous we are also closed then as well.

Please wear long pants and closed toe shoes as dog toe nails can scratch when jumping on laps.

I am not sitting by email or phone so I need to plan my days in advance when taking dogs back and forth to the vet, etc. so please email me to make an appointment in advance.

More details on the To Volunteer page on our website at www.spokanwienerdogs.org  We have placed over 2,500 dogs since 1991!

Thanks,

If you’re looking for a fun way to help shelter dogs and/or get your fitness steps in - look no further! Come volunteer at our shelter to walk dogs! Exercise and time socializing with people is so important for our canine critters that you’d be doing an amazing service for our dogs. Please note, some of our fur babies haven’t been taught leash etiquette and may be more of a workout than others. Our shelter staff and experienced volunteers will show you the ropes and help you select the dogs right for your comfort level. Your time with the dog outside of the shelter helps us learn more about them so we can help find the best adoption match.

Global Neighborhood Thrift turns your extra stuff into jobs for former refugees! Consider donating your clothing, books, and household goods to GN Thrift so we can continue to provide living wage jobs to former refugees in our community.

We depend on the kindness, love and homes of our foster parents to help us save hundreds of lives every year.  Members of our foster care program open up their homes for shelter animals.  They care for kittens or puppies until they are old enough for adoption, animals with illnesses and injuries until they are healed, and animals who need socialization or those who are not thriving in the shelter environment.  The time commitment varies upon the needs of the foster pet, but generally is between 2 weeks and 3 months. 

Fostering is a flexible, fun and rewarding volunteer experience, and requires a special person- able to invest themselves into the lives of foster pets, and let them go knowing they’ve helped save a life.  We provide all supplies foster parents need, from food and bedding to medication. While it is best to have some knowledge about animal behavior and health, we always try to match foster parents with animals whose needs are within your ability level, and we provide ongoing help and support throughout your foster experience. 

If you have your own animals, you’ll want to consider how they will adjust to having a foster pet. Some animals do very well with a temporary friend and can help socialize the foster animal. Other pets have a harder time with new animals being added to or leaving the family. You’re the best judge of your pet’s personality.  For the safety of your pets and the foster animal, it’s important to keep your pets up-to-date on vaccinations. In many cases, the foster pet will need to be isolated from your own pets, either temporarily or throughout the foster period.

POSNA currently has a handful of foster homes for a few of our many pets, and we are always in need of more for cats and kittens. Foster care may involve caring for sick or injured animals, pregnant or underage kitties, or animals that have not had much exposure to humans and need a little TLC to become adoptable.

General building maintenance including painting and cleaning. Shifts are on Mondays and times can flex between 10:00am and 3:00pm

Thank you for thinking of us in donating your precious time. Please try to arrive about 15 minutes early for your first shift to fill out a volunteer application and waiver along with getting a brief orientation.

Mobius Discovery Center encourages children to jump headfirst into fun through STEAM-based exhibits. We need a group of 10-20 volunteers to help prep supplies for Superstruct -- an exhibit where guests build cars and other creations out of cardboard, tape, and straws. 

We need your help with the cardboard pieces. They come in large sheets with perforated shapes that need to be punched out. It's a fun, easy activity for groups of volunteers, plus it's a huge help to Mobius. We see an average of 1,000 visitors each week -- that's a lot of cardboard pieces!

Shifts are flexible and may occur on Mondays or Tuesdays. Volunteers must wear closed-toe shoes. 

I have posters for school supply donations, event posters and programs the day of the event that I need printing services for.

Event is August 15th, need items by August 6th

Develop partnerships with other organizations such as Cheney Parks & Rec, EWU, and Cheney Public Schools to create, or bring to Cheney, history programs and events.  

We are looking to re-start collaborations with institutions in the community to connect history with activities for young people especially. From "a night at the museum" flashlight tour, a classroom visit with items from the museum to engage students in learning local history, or activities students could do in school as part of their curriculum, we can help young people engage with history and place.

There are also opportunities to bring exhibits, speakers, etc. to the community for a broader view of our history.  

The program coordinator will build the partnerships to make these activities possible. Much of this activity can be done on your own schedule without having to come to the museum.

The goal of the Reading Buddy Program is to help children improve their reading skills & gain confidence as readers.

The program pairs volunteers, as mentors, with elementary school students.

Students meet with their reading buddy once per week for 8 weeks at the students’ school to read together one-on-one and foster a love of reading. Each reading buddy is a volunteer who has passed a background check and received training.

You can help a child improve their reading skills & gain confidence as a reader.

A reading buddy is a volunteer who loves reading and enjoys spending time with kids.

As a reading buddy, you meet with an elementary school student once per week for 8 weeks to read together one-on-one and foster a love of reading.
