Volunteer: Build Beds, Build Dreams – Volunteer with Sleep in Heavenly PeaceClick to Register: Registration Link Give a child a place to dream. Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of hands-on impact and community connection! With your help, Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) is building and delivering beds to children in need in the Montgomery County area — because no child should have to sleep on the floor. We are a volunteer-driven organization building and delivering beds to children without a bed of their own. Why We Build: Our Mission Across Montgomery County and the Country, too many children go to sleep without a bed of their own. SHP is a national nonprofit committed to ending childhood bedlessness, one bed at a time. Every child we serve receives a complete bed set—frame, mattress, pillows, and bedding—at no cost to their family. When you join a Build Day, you’re giving a child more than a bed—you’re giving them dignity, rest, and hope. How You Can Help: The Volunteer Experience As a volunteer with SHP Beds, your role is instrumental in fabricating beds for children in our community. Engage in hands-on tasks such as sanding, drilling, staining, and branding, transforming raw lumber into finished pieces of comfort. Structured as an assembly line, each station is a vital step in the full fabrication of these bed parts. Structured so anyone can join and be part of a greater cause. No Experience Needed! Your craftsmanship directly contributes to providing a fundamental need for children who currently sleep on the floor. Whether you're a seasoned builder or new to the tools, your dedication in the workshop plays a vital part in the creation of beds that carry not just functionality but also the warmth of care and compassion. Clear instruction and guidance provided - no experience is necessary to make a difference with SHP! Check out this video to see how we are making an impact from start to finish (from build day to delivery day) See more upcoming volunteer opportunities here Visit our Website to learn More! Follow us on Facebook or Instagram to keep up to date on the impact we are making!

Volunteer: Join a Network of Scientists Supporting Science Education and TeachersThe nonprofit organization Science is Elemental (SIE) is looking for scientists eager to support elementary school teachers and spend a few hours a month (flexibly) answering teachers’ questions about their science curriculum. If desired (but not essential for volunteering), there will also be opportunities to speak (virtually or in-person) about your science or career to elementary school students. While some elementary school teachers are well-grounded in the sciences, most are not, as being so is not a requirement for a degree in elementary education, nor for being hired in most school systems. As a result, they may need science support from others to fully understand the material they are teaching. The goal of this project is to provide the scientific background teachers want to know so that they can better serve their students. We need some scientists now, to complete our testing, and then more once the school year starts. Once the network is live, we plan to provide the answers to teachers’ questions within one hour. Volunteers will use Slack to receive and answer questions. It is expected that each volunteer monitor Slack, when they have time, for questions being asked. In this manner, volunteers only provide their services when it is convenient for them to do so. Our goal is to have a sufficiently large network of scientist volunteers to allow coverage of the Slack channel for the entire day, and especially during and immediately after school hours. The qualifications for this volunteer role are: 1) At least three years working in any science (to include computer and data sciences, and engineering fields), or three years graduate study in such fields. 2) Willingness to obtain a Science is Elemental Slack account (at no cost to you) 3) Have some time during the day to monitor the Slack channel, even if it’s only for a few minutes at a time. 4) Desire to help elementary school teachers instill a love for the sciences in their students. In your response to this opportunity, please indicate if you might be available, depending on scheduling, to help SIE run some tests of the system this summer. Organization: Science is Elemental, Inc. The nonprofit organization Science is Elemental (SIE) is looking for scientists eager to support elementary school teachers and spend a few hours a month (flexibly) answering teachers’ questions about their science curriculum. If desired (but not essential for volunteering), there will also be opportunities to speak (virtually or in-person) about your science or career to elementary school students. While some elementary school teachers are well-grounded in the sciences, most are not, as being so is not a requirement for a degree in elementary education, nor for being hired in most school systems. As a result, they may need science support from others to fully understand the material they are teaching.
