Volunteer: Foster Care Case AdvocacyVolunteers review out-of-home placement cases of children in the public foster care system to make recommendations regarding the well-being, safety, and permanency in the best interest of the child. Volunteers provide individual case advocacy and there are also opportunities for leadership in legislative advocacy "When asked to share why I volunteer on the Frederick County Citizens Review Board (CRBC), I immediately thought of The Starfish Story adapted from a book by Loren Eiseley. This story tells the tale of a young boy who frantically tries to save starfish stranded on a beach by throwing them back into the sea - one by one. A skeptic tells the young boy he is wasting his time, and he cannot make a difference to the thousands of starfish on the beach. The young boy picks up a starfish, throws it in the water, and says, It makes a difference to that one. Making a difference in the life of each child in foster care is an important focus for me. For this reason, after hearing about the CRBC from a former state CRBC staff member, I have been volunteering on the CRBC in Frederick County for eleven years. By volunteering, I am able to review cases to ensure the needs of each child are taken care of while in out-of-home placement. In addition, as part of the review process, I can also make recommendations that lead to a loving, safe, and permanent home for each child after he/she leaves the system. For me, each case I review matters - one by one. My hope is by serving on the Frederick County CRBC and advocating on behalf of children in foster care, I can make a difference in the lives of these children that will matter now and will have a positive, lasting impact for generations to come." - Wanet Tyson, CRBC Volunteer Volunteers must be a resident in the jurisdiction in which they serve. Opportunities are available state wide. Volunteers must be 21 or over and able to pass a background check. One full day of pre-service training is required.

Volunteer: DocentVolunteers are needed to serve as docents who will provide guided tours to groups of adults and school-aged children weekdays and weekends for our 150-year-old national museum in Washington D.C. area, which the Baltimore Sun says is "pretty cool" and the Washington Post says has "plenty of unique items to make it worth the visit." The National Museum of Health and Medicine is not just another Washington, D.C.-area museum. The museum began as a national repository for materials relating to Civil War injuries. Back then, Surgeon General William Hammond told field medical officers to collect "specimens of morbid anatomy...together with projectiles and foreign bodies removed" and forward them to the museum to be studied in hopes of improving medical conditions. The specimens and artifacts in the museum were the first collection in the country and is the only one in the nation's capital registered as a National Historic Landmark by the U.S. Department of the Interior.
