Volunteer: Mentors for First-Generation College StudentsShare your wisdom and experience with a motivated young adult! Future Link students are first-generation to college, low income, ages 18-25 and are working towards a brighter future. Our students are resilient, insightful, and motivated, and though the barriers they face threaten derailment, mentors help students process complex issues, identify solutions, and develop and implement plans so that they may realize their fullest potential. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused even greater disadvantages to our already marginalized student population, which is why our students need additional support to help navigate challenges as they attend Montgomery College, a vocational training program, work full-time, or choose to re-access their education plan. Mentors become the regular point of contact with the student and the Future Link staff. In addition, Future Link provides resources as needed to support the student and mentor. For instance, if the student needs to create a budget or a LinkedIn profile and that is not the mentor's strength, a different volunteer will work with the student in that area.

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. Watch this short video to get a snapshot of KEEN in action: https://youtu.be/PL8sYmDEENg Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian and must be completed outside of school hours. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety. Parents/guardians should contact the nonprofit directly with any questions and/or concerns.

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.

Volunteer: Become a Mentor to a High School GirlAs a Community Bridges (CB) mentor, you will be matched one-on-one with a high school-aged participant in our program for one academic year (September or month of match-June) with the option to extend. Through a closely formed relationship, your time and support can help empower your mentee to be a successful student, an engaged community member, and a confident leader. In return, we hope you gain personal fulfillment as a contributor to the community and the future generation of female leaders. In 1997, CB was founded with the vision for an inclusive community where each person is valued and has abundant opportunities to improve themselves and the world around them. The CB Mentor Program continues this quest with the aim for mentors, mentees, staff, and organizational practices to promote accessibility, cultural humility, and more equitable distribution of resources. We acknowledge the historical exclusion of marginalized groups, particularly Women, People of Color, Indigenous people, gender expansive individuals, and people with learning differences. Thus, all members of the Mentor Program are asked to: Approach situations with an open mind that is respectful of differences, Communicate openly and honestly, acknowledging and honoring the individual and their experiences, andWork to create opportunities for all individuals to express their passions and take actions that create momentum and a sense of ownership for the future.This year, Community Bridges served 464 students in grades 4-12. 96% of our students are first-generation with 44% of families identifying as Hispanic and 42% as Black or African. The most reported languages spoken at home are Spanish, Amharic, and French. Ideal mentors are young professionals and leaders who have experience and are comfortable working within these communities. We are looking for mentors to have critical conversations with their mentees surrounding topics, but not limited to, social injustice, racism, and healthy relationships. We value a diversity of experience, personality, background, and interests. Please consider applying to bring your strengths to our girls!

The CB Mentor Program continues this quest with the aim for mentors, mentees, staff, and organizational practices to promote accessibility, cultural humility, and more equitable distribution of resources. We acknowledge the historical exclusion of marginalized groups, particularly Women, People of Color, Indigenous people, gender expansive individuals, and people with learning differences. Thus, all members of the Mentor Program are asked to: Approach situations with an open mind that is respectful of differences, Communicate openly and honestly, acknowledging and honoring the individual and their experiences, andWork to create opportunities for all individuals to express their passions and take actions that create momentum and a sense of ownership for the future.This year, Community Bridges served 464 students in grades 4-12. 96% of our students are first-generation with 44% of families identifying as Hispanic and 42% as Black or African. The most reported languages spoken at home are Spanish, Amharic, and French. Ideal mentors are young professionals and leaders who have experience and are comfortable working within these communities. We are looking for mentors to have critical conversations with their mentees surrounding topics, but not limited to, social injustice, racism, and healthy relationships. We value a diversity of experience, personality, background, and interests. Please consider applying to bring your strengths to our girls!
