The Patesi Foundation is seeking passionate menstrual educators, school nurses, pediatricians, and counselors to volunteer as facilitators for our Sister Moon program. Help us educate the next generation and normalize conversations about periods! Sister Moon is a first-period empowerment experience designed to equip girls ages 8-12 with the knowledge, confidence, and support they need to navigate this important transition.

Volunteers will play a key role in delivering age-appropriate education and fostering a safe, stigma-free environment. Our first session will be on April 25th from 11:00 AM -12:30 PM., but we plan to have other sessions in the summer and fall. Your part will be the educational piece. That will include information on what a period is, the female anatomy, expected changes, different types of period products, and normalizing conversations about periods.

If you are interested in participating, we welcome the opportunity to connect.

Looking for ways to shape the next generation of students and make a difference in your community? The City of Rockville's Latino Youth Development Program (LYDP) hosts a free after school program at Elwood Smith Community Center and is looking for tutors, retired educators, or passionate professionals to volunteer for 1-2 hours per week.

Volunteers will work in small groups or perform one-on-one tutoring with middle and/or high school students. You will support them with homework on subjects such as math, science, reading, and others. This is a great way to build relationships with the students while also helping them excel in school.

Volunteers with educator or tutor experience are preferred. Volunteers fluent in Spanish are preferred, but not required, to help a few students who primarily speak Spanish.

The volunteer shifts are 3:30-4:30 p.m. on Tuesdays with middle school students, and 3-4 p.m. on Wednesdays with high school students. Volunteer availability can be discussed.

This will be a meaningful, rewarding experience that will help our students excel in school, and in turn support them in working toward graduation and beyond!

Please complete the Tutor Interest Form, in addition to responding to the opportunity through this website.

Help Kids Sleep Better – Volunteer to Deliver Beds with Sleep in Heavenly Peace!

Imagine a child sleeping on the floor — now imagine being the reason that child gets their very own bed. At Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP), we believe no child should go without a bed, yet far too many are.

Our mission is simple yet powerful: get kids off the floor and into beds of their own. We build and deliver complete twin-size bed sets — including a frame, mattress, sheets, pillow, and blanket — to children in need.

Event Description
Join us for an morning of purpose, teamwork, and joy! Together, we’ll deliver pre-built bed parts and assemble them right in the homes of families in need. Once assembled, we’ll make each bed sleep-ready — fully dressed with all the bedding a child needs for a warm, restful night.

No experience necessary — just bring your heart and helping hands. We’ll guide you every step of the way.

Volunteer Role

Additional Information

Why it Matters

Every bed we deliver means more than just a better night’s sleep — it gives a child a space of their own, a sense of security, and a little piece of dignity. Your time and compassion can change a child’s world.

Check out this video to see our work from start to finish (from build day to delivery day). *Note* This event is only for our Delivery Day.

As the weeks progress, you’ll take ownership of building donor pipelines, refining campaign messaging, and engaging with supporters across digital and in-person touchpoints. Whether you're crafting compelling narratives, managing multiple priorities, or coordinating fundraising initiatives, your voice will directly support our life-saving work.

You’ll update the budget as needed and prepare regular reports for leadership and the board, helping guide financial decisions with clear, data-driven insight. If a fundraiser just wrapped up or a grant was awarded, you’ll track how those funds are allocated and ensure everything is documented for compliance. You may also support annual filings, audits, or financial reviews. Your attention to detail and fiscal oversight keep the rescue on stable financial footing so it can grow and save more lives.

In your first week, you’ll assess current volunteer operations, start organizing schedules, and respond to new inquiries and applications—ensuring everyone feels supported and informed. Your ability to stay organized, manage multiple moving parts, and communicate clearly will shine as you coordinate onboarding, share opportunities, and check in regularly with volunteers. Over time, you’ll help shape a culture of engagement, recognition, and retention—turning casual helpers into passionate, long-term contributors.

Share your wisdom and experience with a motivated young adult!

Future Link students are first-generation to college, low income, ages 18-25 and are working towards a brighter future. Our students are resilient, insightful, and motivated, and though the barriers they face threaten derailment, mentors help students process complex issues, identify solutions, and develop and implement plans so that they may realize their fullest potential. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused even greater disadvantages to our already marginalized student population, which is why our students need additional support to help navigate challenges as they attend Montgomery College, a vocational training program, work full-time, or choose to re-access their education plan.

Students enter the Future Link program through a 15-week Self-Advocacy and Career Development Seminar, after which they are matched with a mentor.  

Mentors meet the student where they are, working with them on:

Mentors become the regular point of contact with the student and the Future Link staff. In addition, Future Link provides resources as needed to support the student and mentor. For instance, if the student needs to create a budget or a LinkedIn profile and that is not the mentor's strength, a different volunteer will work with the student in that area.

Mentors attend two training sessions and a one-on-one meeting with staff before meeting their mentee. Continuous support is provided once matched with a mentee. We request an initial one-year commitment with an option to continue beyond that time frame. Mentors must be 30+ years of age, live or work in Montgomery County, Maryland and have at least five years’ work experience in their career field.

There is no greater reward then helping transform a life!

Apply online today at futurelinkmd.org/mentor-application. Once your application has been received, a Future Link staff member will contact you to schedule a conversation to learn more.
