Volunteer: Merrick-Moore Community Development Corporation Seeking Board Treasurer

Board Treasurer (Volunteer)
Merrick-Moore Community Development Corporation

At MMCDC, our work is built on trust, transparency, and deep care for the Merrick-Moore community. The Board Treasurer helps uphold those values by keeping our financial house
steady and clear. This is a hands-on, bookkeeping-focused role for someone who believes in
community power and wants to help ensure our resources are managed with integrity.


What This Role Does
 Keeps our financial records organized, accurate, and up to date
 Tracks monthly income and expenses and categorizes transactions
 Reconciles bank statements and monitors account activity
 Prepares simple, easy-to-understand monthly financial updates for the board
 Supports the creation of our annual budget alongside the Board Chair and Executive
Committee
 Tracks grant-related income and expenses to ensure we stay compliant
 Coordinates with accountants, auditors, or fiscal sponsors when needed
 Helps ensure required filings (like the 990N/990EZ) are submitted on time
What Makes Someone a Good Fit
 Experience with basic bookkeeping or financial recordkeeping
 Comfort using or learning accounting software
 Strong attention to detail and follow-through
 Ability to explain financial information in a clear, accessible way
 A heart for community work and alignment with MMCDC’s mission and values
 Nonprofit experience is helpful but not required — commitment matters most
Time Commitment
 About 4–6 hours per month, including monthly board meetings
 Slightly more time during budget season or annual financial reviews


How This Role Supports the Community
The Treasurer helps ensure that every dollar entrusted to MMCDC is handled with care. By
keeping our finances transparent and organized, this role strengthens our ability to secure grants,
steward land, support residents, and build the future MerrickMoore deserves. It’s quiet work with
a big impact — the kind of behindthescenes leadership that keeps our mission moving.



This is a volunteer position.  Please forward your resume to Bonita Green, info@merrickmoorecdc.org.

Volunteer: Transportation for Seniors Needed

The Center for Volunteer Caregiving is a nonprofit organization serving Wake County. Our mission is to engage the diverse Wake County community by providing volunteer service solutions in an inclusive and welcoming environment to improve the lives of seniors, family caregivers and adults with disabilities. All of our services are provided at no charge by volunteers. We have three different programs that we use to assist seniors and adults with disabilities: transportation, in-home connections, and caregiver respite.   We are in great need of transportation volunteers all across Wake County. Transportation volunteers provide escorted round-trip rides for those who don't drive, can't use public transportation, and have no one to help. Our transportation program allows seniors and adults with disabilities to get to their medical appointments, the grocery store/food pantry, and the pharmacy. To help with this vital service the volunteer would need a car, a good driving record, and 2-4 hours of time per ride. Volunteers determine when and how often they drive.

Volunteer: Canine Companion

Love dogs? Spend time with our playful pups at Paws4ever! Volunteers walk, play with, and socialize dogs, and can help them shine at community events. Ready to make a difference for our dogs? Visit paws4ever.org/get-involved/volunteer/ to get started today!

Our Adoption Center is located at: 6311 Nicks Road, Mebane, NC 27302

Important Note: Although we do get small dogs on occasion, most of the dogs we have at our Adoption Center are medium to large in size.  Since our dogs spend most of their time in their kennels, they often have a lot of energy and it is not uncommon for a dog to jump, pull hard on their leash, or get overstimulated. If you want to work with dogs, but aren’t sure if you are comfortable with these behaviors and/or physically able to manage a large overly excited dog, please feel free to reach out to the Volunteer Manager at volunteer@paws4ever.org or 919-241-8438 x 105.

Volunteer: Van/Mini-Bus Drivers for Weekday Trips

Able to Serve is seeking caring and dependable Van/Mini-Bus Drivers to support our Day Program serving adults with disabilities. Drivers transport participants to community outings, service projects, recreational activities, and special events throughout the month. This volunteer role is perfect for individuals who enjoy driving, engaging with others, and being part of meaningful experiences that help our participants grow and connect in the community.

The purpose of this role is to provide safe, reliable, and welcoming transportation so participants can actively engage beyond our walls. Transportation plays a key part in fostering independence, life skills development, and meaningful service opportunities. By helping participants get where they need to go, drivers directly support our mission of empowering every individual to live a full and purposeful life.

Safety is the highest priority in this role. Drivers are responsible for operating an Able to Serve van or mini-bus in a safe, attentive, and responsible manner at all times. This includes following all traffic laws, ensuring proper seatbelt use, assisting with safe loading and unloading, and maintaining awareness of participants’ needs throughout the trip.

No CDL is required. However, all drivers must complete a Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) check, background check, and required volunteer training prior to serving. Driving opportunities occur each month, and volunteers can sign up for specific dates and trips that fit their availability. In addition to driving, volunteers may assist staff by supporting participants during outings as needed — offering a helping hand, providing encouragement, and helping ensure a smooth and positive experience for everyone involved.

Volunteer: Litter Pickup

Looking for a low-pressure, come-as-you-are way to make a real difference in the Coats community? Coats Municipal Park could use a little extra love, and Campbell students are invited to help keep our green spaces clean and welcoming for everyone.
This is a flexible, self-led volunteer opportunity with no set schedule, no sign-ups, no formal event. If you find yourself with a free hour between classes or want a quick way to give back, simply stop by the park at any time that works for you. Bring a friend or fly solo, take a walk, and help pick up litter along the pathways, fields, and play areas. Every small effort adds up, and your time directly supports a cleaner, safer space for families, pets, and visitors.
Gloves and trash bags are encouraged; filled bags can be placed next to any park trash can for staff to remove. Whether you swing by once or make it part of your weekly routine, your help strengthens the community in a big way.
Thank you for stepping up and showing what it means to care for your town one piece of litter at a time.

Volunteer: Children's Program

Volunteer Presenters for Creative and Life Skills Sessions
We are looking for volunteers who enjoy engaging with youth in meaningful, imaginative, and authentic ways. Presenters will work with either the 6–12 age group or the 13–18 age group, and they can choose to stay with one group or rotate between both.

These volunteers should feel comfortable tapping into their playful and creative side. The children come to our program right after school, so it’s important that the sessions do not feel like more classroom time. Presenters should design activities that are fun, expressive, relatable, and relevant to what the children are experiencing in their lives, especially as many of them are navigating the challenges of transitional housing.

The goal is to create a safe and inspiring space where children can open up, connect with one another, and explore new ideas and skills that help them imagine possibilities beyond their current circumstances. I am absolutely happy to support volunteers as they get comfortable, but it is important that they bring enthusiasm, creativity, and a genuine willingness to engage with the youth.

Weekly Program Volunteers for Thursday Evenings
We also need volunteers who can support our program consistently on Thursdays from 7:00 to 8:30 PM. These volunteers will assist the presenter for the evening, help guide and encourage the children, and support the overall flow of the classroom.

Volunteers may participate every Thursday or twice a month based on their schedule, and can work with the 6–12 group, the 13–18 group, or both.
