Our mission is to build a foundation of health and strong character in children facing adversity. SwingPals uses golf as a medium through which students develop mindfulness and self-regulation skills, empowering them to pursue their passion and fulfill their potential to create positive change in their community. This holistic approach empowers students to step outside their comfort zones, challenge their status quo, and give them the self-efficacy to pursue their goals.

The Climate Impact on Lung Cancer via Exposure to Radon (CLOVER) Study is a statewide research project led by Duke University that examines how radon exposure and climate change impact lung cancer outcomes across North Carolina. The study includes two parts for participants: completing a brief survey and using a free radon test kit to measure radon levels in their home.

We are seeking volunteers from across the state to help connect community members with the CLOVER Study. Volunteers will play a vital role in sharing study information, encouraging participation, and helping distribute free radon test kits to residents.

What You’ll Do:

Share CLOVER Study materials in your community (flyers, brochures, or social media posts).

Connect with local organizations, churches, and community groups to spread awareness. Assist participants with completing the survey and radon test for full participation.

No research experience is needed—just an interest in public health and a willingness to engage your community. All training, materials, and ongoing support will be provided. By volunteering, you’ll help advance lung cancer prevention and environmental health research while protecting communities from harmful radon exposure.

A VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) volunteer helps low- to moderate-income individuals and families—often including seniors, people with disabilities, and those with limited English proficiency—prepare and file their federal and state income tax returns for free.

Here’s a breakdown of role options:

1. Tax Preparation and Filing

Use IRS-provided software to prepare accurate returns.

Ensure all eligible credits and deductions (like Earned Income Tax Credit or Child Tax Credit) are claimed.

E-file returns securely for clients.

2. Client Assistance and Education

Interview taxpayers to gather necessary information and documents.

Explain the return to the client in plain language before filing.

Answer basic tax questions and provide general financial literacy tips.

3. Compliance and Confidentiality

Follow IRS standards of conduct and maintain strict confidentiality with client information.

Complete required IRS training and certification each tax season.

4. Team Collaboration

Work with other volunteers, site coordinators, and quality reviewers to ensure returns are correct.

Refer clients to other community resources when appropriate.

5. Optional Specializations

Some VITA volunteers focus on appointment setting, intake, translation, greeter duties, or quality review instead of tax prep itself.

In short, a VITA volunteer isn’t just crunching numbers—they’re empowering people by helping them meet their tax obligations, potentially increase their refunds, and better understand their finances.

The students will be making projects for themselves to keep as well as items to be donated to their elementary school.

You can sew at home or join our Sew with Us! events.

Our website provides a lot of information about our programs and how you can help!

This volunteer will support the Fresh Produce Program by picking up food scraps at the end of Saturday's distribution (between 10-10:30am) and bringing it to the Duke Gardens for composting – about a 1-hour commitment.

The driver should have a vehicle with capacity to fit the week's compost – approximately three 27-gallon bins and/or trash bags with additional compost. A tarp will be provided to keep your vehicle clean and a cart is available to assist with transporting the compost once at the gardens. After transport, the bins, tarp, and cart  will be returned. 

We highly encourage volunteers in this role to be physically able and/or to bring a friend along, as the compost bins can be heavy (~25-70 lbs each). If you are interested in this position, please read this document that outlines the roles and responsibilities of the compost volunteer in more detail. If you have any questions, please contact Spencer Hao (spencer.hao@duke.edu, 415-608-6567).

These volunteers support the Fresh Produce Program by calling and texting up to 8 participants between Tuesday and Thursday each week to confirm their upcoming deliveries. Volunteers have the assistance of a script and FAQ document to successfully complete calls. This role is KEY for making sure deliveries get to the right people/addresses, and helping us stay in touch with the households we serve. Relationship building is encouraged!

Delivery driving is up to 2 hour commitment (e.g. someone who picks up at 9:00 AM should plan for finishing by 11:00 AM, a 10:45 AM pickup finishing by 12:45 PM at the latest). We routinely need 15-20 drivers since we serve ~170 households a week. The more people who sign up, the quicker the routes are for everyone!

Prisoner Visitation and Support (PVS) is the only organization authorized by the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Defense to visit any prisoner in the Federal and Military prison systems. The primary focus is on seeing those prisoners with an acute need for human contact -- those prisoners without regular visits, those serving long sentences who are far from home, those in solitary confinement and on death row, and those who are frequently transferred from prison to prison. PVS visitors let the prisoners set the agenda for what they discuss.

This listing is for volunteers that are interested in visiting at FCC Butner in Butner, North Carolina. The Federal Correctional Complex (FCC) is comprised of 5 separate facilities with a total population of over 4,700 prisoners.

Covid-19 brought to light the heartbreaking extent of food insecurity in our community. Iglesia Emanuel, together with a large group of dedicated volunteers, has responded to this challenge with a weekly food pantry, providing large boxes and bags of nutritious and culturally appropriate food. Volunteers work in 2-hour shifts, Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, making it possible for us to serve over 600 families a week. Students aged 14 and up are welcome to volunteer on their own. Children aged 10 and up are welcome to volunteer under the supervision of a parent or other accompanying adult. Volunteers need to be over 18 for traffic control positions.

In addition to volunteering on site, you can help support this ministry by donating shelf stable food or bags of rice and beans. We always need more protein items (canned chicken, tuna, or peanut butter), cereal, and other nutritious food to complement the fresh produce that we give.
