VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES:

Volunteering provides an enriching and rewarding experience for people looking to make a difference in the lives of others in need. Project Access relies on volunteers to share their experience, expertise, skills and time with the low-income families and seniors we serve. Volunteer opportunities include, but are not limited to, the following:

Adopt-a-Family Resource Center and help us make needed facility improvements to a Center. Employees select a Project Access Resource Center to support, and then a plan is made for a one day adoption, which may include facility clean-up/upgrades like painting or providing new furniture, decorating, mentoring the youth, providing games, books, supplies for the center... the sky is the limit. This is a perfect way for a company or family to make a difference at one of our Centers and impact many lives at the same time.

Sponsor a Supply Drive
Sponsor a "Project Access" drive at the office. Designate one day as "Project Access Day", or perhaps every Friday for a month, and ask employees to support the cause by donating items that we generally spend significant dollars on each year - such as art supplies, office supplies, healthy packaged snacks, cleaning supplies. Other items that would be appreciated are toys, board games, children's books, adult resource and educational books, etc.

Underwrite Items on the "Project Access Giving Tree" which includes much needed supplies for our Centers, from children's books and art supplies to furniture and technology, etc.

Sponsor a Resource Center Holiday Community Event or Annual Health Fair and help us bring out the low-income resident community to celebrate during the holidays and/or learn more about living a healthier lifestyle and accessing needed health services.

Professional Services Partner Sponsorship
Project Access is always looking for pro-bono services to be provided so that we may spend more of every dollar raised directly on programs for the residents. Leverage your personal and professional contacts to help Project Access identify year long sponsorships of such needs as such as printing (for newsletters, invitations, etc.), graphic design, website design and maintenance and technology consultation.

Hold Your Own Fundraiser on Behalf of Project Access - perfect for schools who are involved in community service and businesses who are looking for team-building community support projects. (Project Access would help with any and all internal marketing, providing education and materials to bring the cause to life for the students or employees.)
