Volunteer: Bone Builders Volunteer Leader - Kensington LibraryBone Builders is seeking caring, physically active older adults, perhaps just entering retirement, who have an interest in leading a group exercise class for seniors at Kensington Library in Kensington, MD. The exercise class specializes in osteo health and it's the perfect volunteer job for people wanting to help others (and themselves) maintain and/or increase their bone mass, increase strength and improve balance. We have volunteers with a wide variety of backgrounds, and no prior experience is required. Most of our leaders are older adults who derive enormous satisfaction working with class participants to improve their health. In the free training we provide, you will learn our evidence-based exercises and also learn about teaching seniors. Our one-day training and required visits to three ongoing classes will prepare you to lead. The classes meet two days weekly, one-hour each day, and you are required to teach both days of the week. We know everyone takes vacations, etc, but there is flexibility built into the position as each class has two primary co-leaders as well as one or more secondary co-leaders who are also trained and ready to lead if one of the primary leaders is absent. If you have never taken a Bone Builders class before, you will be placed in an existing class and mentored by the current co-leaders prior to beginning to help lead a class.

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.

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!

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.
