Volunteer: Support Stickers for Cancer PatientsFounded by a three-time cancer survivor, Kits to Heart is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that gives curated cancer care kits to patients and their loved ones. Our mission is to bring smiles and solidarity to those affected by cancer, one kit at a time. 6 simple hand-cut stickers may receive 1 service hour Help bring cheer and motivation to cancer patients by creating custom stickers with positive messages and illustrations to be used as decorations for our cancer care kits. These stickers will serve as small but impactful tokens of encouragement, designed to uplift the spirits of those undergoing treatment. How to Get Started Brainstorm and create designs that incorporate positive messages, such as "You Are Strong," "Keep Fighting," and "Stay Positive," alongside uplifting illustrations like sunflowers, clouds, ocean themes, and smiling faces. Please NO "get well soon", "keep growing", "shine", or other messages that may unintentionally cause discomfort. As with our other service projects, you are welcome to work from the comfort of your home, with your colleagues at the office, or with your friends at school! Use digital and/or traditional art techniques to draw and create the designs. If digital, the stickers should be printed on high-quality adhesive paper or using the tutorials below. For those seeking service hours, designs may only be repeated for hand-drawn stickers, not digital designs. Simple vs. complex: We defer to YOUR judgment, as it depends on how long it takes for you to design and cut out a sticker. If it takes about 20 minutes per sticker, due to thoughtful hand-drawn designs, coloring, text, shape, etc., then we would consider it complex. If it only takes about 10 minutes per sticker, with a smiley and text, for example, then that would be considered simple. Limits: We really hope for volunteers to focus less on quantity and more on quality, so while there is no limit, we do highly encourage quality to show patients we care with thoughtful artwork and text. Using pre-cut sticker labels: Creative designs and messages on pre-cut sticker labels may be eligible for 1 service hour per 10 designs. Using wax paper: We are no longer accepting stickers made on wax/parchment paper. Please consider using inexpensive sticker paper options below, such as these sticker sheets that can be cut into any shape and peeled more easily. Once completed, follow the submission steps here.

Volunteer: Corporate/University/Community Group Service ProjectsGot a group that wants to volunteer? KEEN has opportunities on the weekends from September through June. In Montgomery County, those opportunities are mostly on Sundays at KEEN Sports for Kids, Teens or Young Adults. (Ask about other opportunities as well.) During KEEN's Sports Programs, athletes (KEEN's young people with disabilities, ages 5-25) and volunteers come together for one-to-one activities in a group setting. Together they do individual activities that are tailored solely to the needs of the athlete. They may throw a basketball or kick a soccer ball, or they may take a walk around the outdoor track. Many love to bounce on 36" balls or be pulled along the floor on a flat wheeled scooter. A group may form for Duck, Duck, Goose. The session ends with everyone coming together in a circle (although some athletes still need to run around its periphery, and that's okay) and sharing with the group what they did that day "that made them very Proud." They literally go out dancing: the Hokey Pokey for the younger kids and the Macarena for the teens and young adults. Athletes burn energy, meet and interact with new volunteers, see old friends, and then rejoin their parents, who have had some precious respite time.

Volunteer: Refugee Youth MentorHelp welcome refugee youth to Maryland! Volunteers are paired with refugee youth (ages 16-24) to assist with career development and empowerment. Duties vary based on the goals and interests of the youth, but tend to focus on exploring career and educational opportunities, identifying career pathways, assisting with the job search and application process (resume, cover letter, application, interview), and setting short and long term goals. The goal of the mentorship is to allow the youth to have a mentor that can help navigate US systems, promote civic engagement and leadership opportunities, and provide guidance with various questions and ideas as they begin thinking about future careers or higher education. Mentors play an integral role in showing mentees the vast array of opportunities that may be available to them in the US, as well as supporting and empowering them to explore these opportunities. Volunteers are encouraged to meet youth outside of their homes at coffee shops or in public places. Time commitment: 10 hours per month for 6 months, although this time commitment is very flexible. If you are interested in using your knowledge of your community to help newcomers to Maryland, please respond! This opportunity may be virtually only, in person, or hybrid.
