Are you a tinkerer? Do you like to fix things? The Friends of the Takoma Park Maryland Library sponsors monthly Fixit Clinics, and we are looking for volunteer Fixit coaches of all ages with knowledge and skills to repair a wide variety of items (fabric and clothes, bicycles, household electrical items and appliances, wooden items and furniture, jewelry, dull knives/garden tools, computers, phones, and technology items).  A Fixit Clinic is not a repair service. It is a do-it-together activity where people bring in their broken household things and learn how to assess, disassemble, and repair them instead of throwing them away. Fixit coaches work with the person with the broken item to figure out what is wrong, and try to fix it. If you think you can coach people who have something to fix, use this link to register as a volunteer coach.  https://bit.ly/4baWDyZ

PLE Youth Program Team

Please note the following guidelines for student service through live virtual platforms:

Regarding how we will track and verify SSL hours:

--- Students will track their volunteer hours by making a copy of the following template. The document must be titled following the template - (ex: “John Smith_2021-2022 Time Collection”). On the first row list your full name. On the second row, please state if you are applying for the PVSA award.

--- After each class, document the date, the duration and the preparation time of the class. The default total class preparation time is the same as the duration of the class. (Ex. If your class is 40 minutes long, you enter 40 minutes for the class preparation). 

--- If your preparation time is more than the default time, PLE and all its staff reserve the right to view your lesson plans. After reviewing all materials you created in preparation and a possible interview, we determine if the preparation time logged is appropriate or if it should be adjusted based on length, amount, and quality of material. We generally do not award more than 2 hours of preparation time. You will retain copyright over your plans. 

--- Any orientation, training and meeting times will also be counted toward your volunteer time. Please enter the event name, date, and duration. Please be aware preparation time is not applicable to this circumstance (ex: New faculty online orientation, 4/21/2010, 1 hour). 

--- We will send certificates of verified volunteer hours and complete volunteer forms (SSL, NHS, etc.) upon request. 

--- All other forms of volunteering (eg. advertisement, management, newsletter writing, general curriculum development) will be tracked on an hour-for-hour basis the amount of time served when supervised. If items are completed without live supervision, they are reviewed on a case by case basis. Most curriculum development, newsletters, and proposals written will be awarded 1-2 hours, based on length and quality.

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.

Interested in seeing other opportunities to volunteer? Check out our upcoming events here!

Our volunteers help prepare fresh, healthy, and delicious meals in our Takoma Park kitchen for our homebound neighbors. Join our volunteer team as we continue to build a strong, interconnected and compassionate community to serve our clients.

Start by submitting a volunteer application.

Each weekday, Meals on Wheels of Takoma Park and Silver Spring prepares two nourishing meals for hundreds of clients; our service helps them maintain their health and independence as they age, battle illness and recover from injuries. Demand for the service is rising and we're growing fast to meet the need.

Kitchen volunteers can choose a morning or midday shift to prep and pack deli meals and hot meals or prepare ingredients for the next day's meal and do cleanup.

Opportunities are suitable for students aged 14 and older. Summertime and other shorter school holidays would be a great time join us. We are open on some public holidays.

Inflatables Set-Up & Take-Down Volunteer

Olney Days – Party in the Park

     Party in the Park is a beloved Olney Days tradition that brings the entire community together to celebrate the town. This year, eight large inflatables will transform the ball field at Olney Manor Park into a hub of fun — and we need strong, dependable volunteers to help make it happen. Volunteers will assist with setting up and taking down the inflatables under the direction of professional staff from the inflatable company.

     Responsibilities include:

     Because take-down is much easier when you understand how everything was assembled, volunteers are strongly encouraged to sign up for both shifts if possible (but not required). After confirmation of your sign up, Volunteers will communicate and report to Carter Darrington, owner of Empire Inflatables that is providing the equipment.

     Please note: Inflatables are weather-dependent. If rain causes the field to close, this volunteer opportunity will be canceled. In that case, volunteers will be notified by email by 9:00 am on May 2.

     Thank you for helping bring the fun to Olney!

Volunteers provide escorted transportation to medical appointments or offer grocery shopping assistance to seniors. Volunteers use an online scheduling system that allows you to set your own schedules. Training and liability coverage are provided.

Volunteers enjoy meeting senior neighbors and they love the flexibility of using the online scheduling system! This is a great opportunity to make a difference in someone's life, including your own!

You’re finished with school, your career is underway, you are established in the neighborhood, and the kids are gone all day. You have some time on your hands, but you want to do something worthwhile and really make a positive impact… Have you considered experiencing the reward of helping neighbors through their worst moments? Want to feel the respect and appreciation of your community?

More than 90% of our calls for service are to respond to medical emergencies in the community.  Every day our EMTs are called to vehicle collisions, farm accidents, allergic reactions, drug overdoses, falls, cuts, and this is just a partial list.

WE TRAIN YOU – You will learn everything you need to know to become a certified Emergency Medical Technician – no expense to you. Volunteering with Fire/Rescue is rewarding and offers the flexibility to contribute according to your availability. Membership is dependent upon successful completion of a fingerprint, background check and medical exam - all provided free.

Our most successful candidates are adults who are finished with full-time school, established in their career, and live within 10 miles of our fire station in Beallsville.  Is This you?
