Volunteer oppotunity close to CHS
Jewish Family Services has a volunteer opportunity for high school students. It is located only a few blocks from CHS, so this could be convenient for students with some free time after school.
Specifically, they are looking for some help in their Refugee Resettlement department. It would involve helping their families apply for public assistance, and helping with set up and organization of case files. More adventurous students could also help with orientations or setting up apartments for arriving families.
If you are interested please, email Aaron Rubin at: aaron.rubin@jfsbuffalo.org

BUFFALO REUSE CONTINUES TREE PLANTING INITIATIVE ON THE EAST SIDE
In an effort to beautify Buffalo’s east side, Buffalo ReUSE will partner with Re-Tree Western New York for a fall tree care and planting event. Buffalo ReUSE invites volunteers to join them in this community-wide effort on Saturday November 6, 2010, from 9:00am to 1:00pm. A potluck meal will follow the day’s work.
Buffalo ReUSE is teaming up with Re-Tree WNY for its sixth tree planting on the east side. As part of the Buffalo ReUSE mission, the organization works to “green” east side neighborhoods by planting trees, community gardens, and vegetable plots. This fall, the tree care event will feature pruning, re-staking, and tree condition evaluation, in addition to planting. Everyone is encouraged to help; training will be available on-site during the event.
Danielle Rovillo, Volunteer Coordinator for Buffalo ReUSE had this to say about the 2010 tree care effort, “This event is great for Buffalo ReUSE and the community. Tree planting is an important part of neighborhood revitalization. This event helps beautify our streets but also raises morale, unites neighbors, promotes energy conservation, and improves air quality. ” During their partnership with Re-Tree, Buffalo ReUSE has successfully planted over 1,000 trees in east side neighborhoods.
Buffalo ReUse invites groups, families, friends, and individuals to sign up for this volunteer opportunity. Anyone interested in helping should arrive at the Buffalo ReUSE office, located at 158 Eaton Street, on November 6th at 9:00am. Volunteers are encouraged to bring a dish to pass for the post-planting potluck celebration. For additional information, please contact the main office of Buffalo ReUSE at (716) 885-4131 or email at volunteer@buffaloreuse.org.

Volunteer Opportunities
Buffalo ReUse is looking for people to man tables at the following events. "Tabling helps to educate the general public about Buffalo ReUse.
Saturday April 17th: Buffalo Niagara Green Expo. 10am-6pm at the Walden Galleria Mall.
Saturday April 17th: NY Power Authority Earth Day Celebration. 10am-4pm at the Niagara Power Vista
Saturday April 17th & Sunday April 18th: Power Shift NY Summit. 10am-4pm at UB North Campus
Sunday April 18th: Earth Day Celebration. 12-4pm at Tifft Nature Preserve
Email: volunteer@buffaloreuse.org to volunteer. You can volunteer for an entire shift, or just a few hours.
ALSO
Jericho Road Ministries Financially Fit program is again looking for volunteers to help with child care.
Financially Fit, a financial education program for refugees - teaching the basics of banking, budgeting, and navigating US financial systems.
To help make the program accessible to their clients, they offer child care and a meal with the program. So volunteers are needed to make that possible! This time offers a great opportunity to create a learning rich environment for the children, and they provide volunteers strategies of culturally appropriate and developmentally-stimulating activities to share with the children.
The program launches again this January! It runs in 8-week cycles, meeting once a week for financial education. They will have four classes in different language groups, which will run consecutively. Classes are held at Jericho Road Ministries, 184 Barton Street 14213.
Their schedule is:
April 6th through May 26th
Tuesdays, 4:00-6:00pm and 5:00-7:00pm
Wednesdays, 4:30-6:30pm and 5:30-7:30pm
Each of these nights will have two classes overlapping, so the child care need will be from the beginning of the first class to the end of the second, with the greatest number of children during the middle overlapping hour. Kids from both classes will be together in a nursery/play area.
It would be helpful to have volunteers available 15 minutes beforehand (to be briefed, then ready and waiting for the kids), and then flexible to stay 15 minutes after, to allow for clean-up. They know this is a long period of time, so even if you could commit to coming for just the first or the second session of the evening, that would be such a great help! Each class ends with a meal, prepared by one of the international class participants, which volunteers are welcome to join us for.
This is an excellent cross-cultural learning opportunity! Anyone who is interested, please get in touch with Stephanie - her contact info is below. She is also happy to share more information with you.
Thank you for your interest! For more info on Jericho Road Ministries, click here!

Wednesdays, 4:30-6:30pm and 5:30-7:30pm
Each of these nights will have two classes overlapping, so the child care need will be from the beginning of the first class to the end of the second, with the greatest number of children during the middle overlapping hour. Kids from both classes will be together in a nursery/play area.
It would be helpful to have volunteers available 15 minutes beforehand (to be briefed, then ready and waiting for the kids), and then flexible to stay 15 minutes after, to allow for clean-up. They know this is a long period of time, so even if you could commit to coming for just the first or the second session of the evening, that would be such a great help! Each class ends with a meal, prepared by one of the international class participants, which volunteers are welcome to join us for.
This is an excellent cross-cultural learning opportunity! Anyone who is interested, please get in touch with Stephanie - her contact info is below. She is also happy to share more information with you.

Volunteer Opportunity
Interested in Volunteering? Consider Child Care!
One program at Jericho Road Ministries is Financially Fit, a financial education program for refugees - teaching the basics of banking, budgeting, and navigating US financial systems.
To help make the program accessible to their clients, they offer child care and a meal with the program. So volunteers are needed to make that possible! This time offers a great opportunity to create a learning rich environment for the children, and they provide volunteers strategies of culturally appropriate and developmentally-stimulating activities to share with the children.
The program launches again this January! It runs in 8-week cycles, meeting once a week for financial education. They will have four classes in different language groups, which will run consecutively. Classes are held at Jericho Road Ministries, 184 Barton Street 14213.
Their schedule is:
January 19th through March 10th
Tuesdays, 4:00-6:00pm and 5:00-7:00pm
Wednesdays, 4:30-6:30pm and 5:30-7:30pm
