What Can Adopt-a-Stream Achieve?

Who Can Adopt-a-Stream?
Anyone can adopt a stream. Families, neighborhoods, organizations, businesses, civic groups, churches, schools, and youth groups have all adopted streams in Greensboro.

What Will Your Adopt-a-Stream Group Do?
Your group will be responsible for facilitating a stream cleanup at least twice a year for a minimum of two years. The City will place a sign bearing your group's name along the road by your adopted stream segment.

Not ready to adopt a stream? Don't worry. You or your group can still make a positive impact by participating in a Clean-a-Creek cleanup without the commitment to adopt.

To learn more about how you and your group can participate in either the Adopt-A-Stream or Clean-a-Creek Programs, please visit our website or call 336-373-2055.

Choose a section of the City and hit those streets to glue signs (drain markers) to storm drain covers. The markers serve as a visual reminder that only rainwater should go down these drains.  The time commitment for this program varies and is based on volunteer availability, however, a minimum of 20 markers is required per every two people in a group.  All the supplies are provided to you for this fun and easy project that has lasting value.

Definition of Stormwater: The runoff of rain and other water sources that washes over impervious surfaces such as roadways, collecting chemicals, oil, and other pollutants, which then flows into our storm drains. What enters our storm drains is not treated like our wastewater water is; it goes directly into our streams, many of which eventually drain into our lakes.

To learn more about how you and your group can participate in the Drain Marker Program, visit our website or call 336-373-2055.

The Youth Group Mentors help our Youth Program Coordinator with implementing plans for meetings and special activities and general supervision of the youth group. The group meets each Saturday, year-round. This is a good opportunity for someone considering a career in ministry, education or social service. You do not have to commit to each week. Most of our mentors come once per month.

The group of primarily low-income Hispanic/Latino teens will spend some time discussing a topic related to Biblical principles, then spend the rest of the meeting on topics related to navigating growing up in the world today. This may include life skills training and opportunities to try new things like drama or a field trip to a ropes course. If the group is small that day, we may simply "hang out" and play games or do crafts. This often provides the best opportunities for one-on-one mentorship.

 Spanish language skills are extremely helpful but not required.

We also need mentors who are available on weekend times other than our usual meeting time because sometimes our field trips happen on a Friday or Saturday night instead.

On Tuesday evenings during the school year come help students in grades K - 3 with their reading skills. You will help them practice letters and skills as well as practice reading with a computer program like RazKids or Starfall. You'll also spend time reading together with one of the many books we have in our library. 

If the student has homework, you will assist with that before moving on to a reading lesson.

Our Kids Club is for older elementary students (grades 4 & 5). It meets every Tuesday evening during the school year. At Kids Club we practice social emotional skills while also trying new things and learning about the world around us. Mentors help run the program, guide children in making wise decisions, controlling emotions, navigating conflict, etc. 

 We are currently recruiting for weekly mentors as well as substitutes to help lead/teach the program for the evening when our regular mentors are unavailable (often they are college students). If you have a special skill or learning experience (juggling? a STEAM activity?) you would like to teach the children for a few sessions in a row or even just one, please be in touch. 

Our Blessings Box outside our community center needs a steady supply of non-perishable food, toiletries, and other small items for our neighbors in need. Certain perishable items are acceptable if they are "shelf stable" for up to 24 hours (for example, bread, some fruits or vegetables), weather permitting. We are also accepting larger items (such as bulk packages) that we will store inside the building which we will place into the box as needed or share with members of the community who we visit (those who may not have transportation to get to the box easily). Please call ahead if you have bulk items (336-724-0850).

The box is small, but in winter it is also nice to put a hat, gloves, or a scarf inside for our neighbors who need an extra bit of warmth. We ask that you NOT put clothing in the box. Thank you.

We are seeking tutors to help our middle and high school students with math, reading, ESOL, passing the GED, and/or general study habits. In addition, on days when students have no homework, we need folks who are willing to mentor youth by spending time with them, offering a listening ear, words of wisdom, and practical advice when needed. Our students are looking for help with things like: applying for jobs, navigating relationships, and managing personal finances.

The group will meet Thursday evenings during the school year and occasionally during the summer.

The Elizabeth and Tab Williams Adult Day Center provides a safe, fun and structured day program that brings meaning and friendship to people living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia.

Guardian ad Litem (GAL) volunteers serve as court-appointed advocates and the voice for children in the juvenile court system.  GALs do an independent investigation into the circumstances of these children’s lives, facilitate their needs being met by helping locate community resources, and advocate that those services be put into place. Furthermore, we attend court hearings on behalf of the child to report to the court what we feel is in a child’s best interest concerning their life.  We do so until these children are out of the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services and into a safe, permanent home. 

GALs visit with the child once per month and make contact on a regular basis with the other pertinent people in their life to help advocate for their best interest.  Most GALs spend 12-15 hours per month performing their duties as a court-appointed advocate. Most of the time spent volunteering is mostly flexible and built around the GAL’s schedule.

The process of becoming a GAL volunteer includes an application, background check, interview, and training. Applications can be completed on our website, www.volunteerforgal.org

AFTER-SCHOOL TUTORS NEEDED FOR REFUGEE STUDENTS ages 5-18!

Get to know a newly arrived refugee student and family in this unique After School Tutoring program taking place at the home of students! You get to tutor once per week (or more if you wish) for 1 to 2  hours between 5:00 and 8:00pm scheduled at your convenience. Training and on-going support provided. This is a great way to impact newly arrived refugee families and assist the children in finding success in Schools!

Program Pals provide programming which gives our campers the opportunity to try new things and push beyond their comfort zone. Volunteers in this role are assigned to oversee a program area such as Arts & Crafts, Woodshop, Boating and Fishing. As a Program Pal you will join a family when your program area is closed so you can continue to experience all of the magic of camp.

You could also work with members of our yearly staff in a couple different areas as well. We offer the opportunity to volunteer in the barn to help out with our adaptive horseback riding and animal adventure programs. Our full-time barn team will give you the training you need to help fulfill your duties such as: leading horses in our arena, sidewalking, handling all our animals (horses, goats, llama, donkeys, cow), and many hands on tasks around the barn. The other option is working with our kitchen team and assisting with meal time set up and clean up. Our program team would walk through with you how mealtime works, but then then the kitchen team would go more into detail of your role and expectations. Both positions will get orientation time before families arrive and will also get assigned a family to work with whenever you are not at your program area. We do have an age requirement of 18, and also being a high school graduate as well.

We ask you to use this link below that will take you to our staff dashboard. Here you will fill out our application to come volunteer with us. Once it is complete, a member of our team will reach out to you to set up an interview (Set aside 30-45 minutes). We hope to see you at camp real soon!

Family Pals are paired with a family and serve as their guide throughout the weekend. That means welcoming your family to camp, escorting them throughout their camp experience and enjoying the joys of camp with all members of the family. Your role is very important because as the initial face of Victory Junction and the family’s constant representation, you have a major part in the feel of camp and the community that is established. In short, laugh, play and care for your campers! Families will live on cabin row and volunteers in program or medical lodges. We do have an age requirement of 18, but also must be a graduate of high school as well.

We are scheduling events throughout the year to give away bikes.

Help needed! Cycle Recycle needs a couple of volunteers with trucks or vans to be available to carry bikes on occasion. We don't carry bikes too often, but it would be helpful to have a couple of volunteers to call when we do so. Please reply to let me know if you can do this.  Call me at 336-525-6482.

Very part-time.

We are receiving bike donations throughout the week.  We need someone who can run point to call donor and arrange the bike drop off or pick up from their home.  Helpful to have a van when the donor has multiple bikes.  

Drive older adults to their medical appointments, errands, grocery shopping or activities using your own vehicle (mileage reimbursed quarterly). You can drive as often as several times a week, or as little as once or twice a month.  You can choose your days, time, length of trips and area of the community where you would like to drive.  All volunteering occurs weekdays between 9 am and 5 pm.

Spend about one hour in the afternoon straightening up our book processing center after volunteers have left.  Load boxes of books onto trailer (using dolly), empty trash, sweep, break down boxes, move/stack boxes of books. 

Requires some lifting.  Volunteer one or more afternoons per week. This is a great opportunity for a Crosby scholar or other high school student looking for some regular volunteer hours.

Many older adults who live independently are unable to get to the grocery store. We are in need of drivers who can take one of our participants grocery shopping twice per month using their own vehicle (mileage is reimbursed quarterly). A shopping trip generally takes 1 1/2 -2 hours. You may be assigned a person who lives in your area; all participants are required to shop at a grocery store close to their home.  In most cases, you will need to help the participant get the groceries in and out of the car. This is a great opportunity to build a relationship with someone new!

Many older adults could use a hand with getting things done around the house. If you can provide small acts of labor for minor home repairs, i.e carpentry, plumbing, electrical, flooring and various type of yard work, then this volunteer activity is for you. Congregational groups, youth groups, business teams, etc. are also welcome to give us a call.

Always, thank you for supporting The Salvation Army!

We provide dinner for our families 7 nights a week. Bringing a cooking group is an amazing way to show the support of the community and it truly makes our House feel like home.

Dinner groups can have up to 10 participants and are responsible for planning a menu and bringing all the necessary ingredients/ supplies to the House, and then using our kitchen and equipment to cook (all prep work and cooking must be done here at the Ronald McDonald House and cannot be done at home). 

Groups typically cook for 35 (but you will receive an exact count on the Monday of your cooking date). After cooking, your group will portion out meals in individual to-go containers and label them with the contents and date (date labels and to-go containers are provided by us).

The Servant Center is looking for volunteers to pick-up food donations at designated local grocery stores for Servant House.( Servant House is transitional living for disabled veterans facing homelessnes. The food donations we receive, provides the food we need to prepare meals for the 21 disabled veterans that we serve.)

Volunteer Needs:

Your volunteer time with us allows us to help more of the clients/residents we serve at The Servant Center: the homeless, disabled and disabled veterans facing homelessness.

Your time volunteering allows us to spend more time provideing services and support to those in our mission; the homeless, disabled and disabled veterans facing homelessness.

 The Servant Center is looking for someone that is interested in volunteering their time to help us with some light maintenance work a couple of hours a week. 

We appreciate your time and interest to serve in the community. Your help allows us to provide services/support to those we serve in our mission: the homelesss, disabled and disabled veterans facing homeless.

One of our greatest needs are Spanish-speaking interpreters to register clients with the food pantry. We serve several hundred Hispanic families each month with food and each family needs to register when they arrive.

Clients will present their food bank cards and the volunteer will use either a tablet or phone to record the visit with the food bank. Clients that do not have food bank card will need to provide their information to receive a food bank card on their first visit.

We will provide a training prior to any food pantry distribution to help understand the process. As a new volunteer in this capacity, you will most likely start off by registering only 10 clients as you learn the system.

We very much appreciate your interest and hope to hear from you.

We want to reach into the whole community.

Cycle Recycle is in the process of developing social media bullets that tell our story and invite people to join us by donating a bike, volunteering at our warehouse with operations and donating money.  We have begun videotaping short interviews with our partners and team.  An advisor would help us to be intentional and focused on the mechanics of best practices with our advisory team in communicating our story to the general public and target groups.  We are about to launch an initiative to solicit funds from potential donors.  We would like someone to help us with that who has experience.

 We need volunteers who have a passion for serving God in the community.

   Cycle Recycle is growing by leaps and bounds.  We have a passionate and dynamic team that is committed to our vision of providing bikes to kids in under-resourced areas of Winston-Salem and connecting with them to teach bike safety education.  We operate all year, but especially focus on providing bikes at Gift Mart.  We are partnering with several nonprofits and community outreach agencies to be open to how we can make a difference with families and kids by promoting the joy and freedom of cycling.  

    We are about to embark on a fundraising initiative that will also reach throughout the community to engage volunteers to join in our mission.  We have events scheduled throughout the year.  We need someone who loves working with people to work with our team to help organize events, help recruit or encourage volunteers and add to our ministry the joy and empowerment we want to spread throughout our city.  You will want to be present at many of our Wrench workshops as you are able.  It would be helpful if you were connected with much of the cycling network already or you are talented in making these connections.

We accept gently used children and adult bikes. We value every bike donation to us in love to pass along to someone who needs a bike.  We provide refurbished bikes to persons through our community partners. 

Please call 336-525-6482 and leave a message or write us at cyclerecycle@LoveOutLoudWS.com to arrange a drop off or to have someone pick it up.  To date, we have refurbished and have ready 185 bikes in our warehouse and probably another 100 to be repaired.

We're going strong.

Cycle/Recycle continues to receive donations of gently used bikes, which are stored in our warehouse.  We hold regularly scheduled Wrench workshops to repair the bikes to provide throughout the community during the year.  We need volunteers who are able to do minor repairs such as changing tires/tubes, adjusting brakes, doing tune ups and other basic skills.  We have professional mechanics at each workshop to assist you and teach bike repair.  Volunteers need their own tools.  Teens may have the opportunity to wash down bikes to get then ready. We plan to hold bike repair days at various times throughout the year.  Scheduled Wrench workshops:

We ask volunteers to give 2-3 hours of their time to come help fix up bikes for Gift Mart.

We have given over 940 bikes away in the past 4 years.  We also need men and women who are passionate about connecting with the kids to teach them safe bike riding and repairs.
