Awakening Your Child's Total Potential is seeking resources to support our Computer Refurbishing, Mentorship, and Computer Education Program. Our goal is to optimize our efforts to refurbish more old computers and donate them to those low-income students of Cincinnati High Schools who have limited learning resources and support. Moreover, these students are at risk of taking on improper or hazardous jobs after graduating from high school since their families are struggling to provide their children with proper cognition development and career guidance. Therefore, we also intend to attract volunteers to provide computer education and mentorship to provide not only technology but also career support to encourage academic capabilities in students.

Target population who will benefit from this program:

The project is to serve mainly low-income students in Cincinnati, particularly those whose families are facing language barriers and rely on social welfare. 

Donate your computer equipments:

Under the impact of COVID-19, online learning has become a universal practice, highlighting the importance of electronic devices for education. However, low-income families who lack the resources to purchase computers are left feeling helpless and inferior. This is where Computer Refurbishing comes in, providing learning and work tools for those students so that they can own their computers to exposure to technology, which can boost their confidence, self-esteem, and quality of life, as well as enhance their learning motivation.

Therefore, donate your used computers to us. We will make all our efforts to refurbish them and donate them to low-income students.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Butler County seeks adults from our community to be volunteer mentors ("Bigs") for children and youth in Butler County. There are approximately 100 youth who are waiting for a mentor.

Being a mentor is about spending time with a child and inspiring them to fulfill their potential. We pair a volunteer mentor one-to-one with a child and we call this a match. Once matched, Big Brothers and Big Sisters develop friendships with their Little Brothers and Little Sisters. It’s that simple. 

Our Community-Based Bigs and Littles meet 2 to 4 times a month out in the community and the time spent together is flexible to fit your busy schedule. You can hang out in the community and go to a park, an event, a restaurant, or many other possibilities. It’s up to you and your Little! This volunteer opportunity is open to adults aged 18 and older who live or work in or near Butler County. Volunteers must be able to commit to at least one year.

CLICK HERE to apply online to become a Big Brother or Big Sister, or contact us in one of the following ways:

We are looking for compasionate people who want to work with adults with developemental disabilities in the community. On a weekly basis we take a small group of no more than 5 out into the community for various activities. Activities include moviess, the zoo, amusement parks, or out to eat with friends. 

Being a mentor with Big Brothers Big Sisters is a fun, rewarding experience. The only thing that would make it better is to volunteer with someone you know! This is a great opportunity for couples, friends, siblings or other "dynamic duos" who want to be more involved in their community in 2023.

Big Duos are two people who volunteer together as mentors for either one or two children ("Littles"). Being a Big Duo is the same as being an individual Big Brother or Big Sister - you get together with your Little 2 to 4 times each month engaging in fun, enriching activities that you and your Little both enjoy - you're just volunteering with another person instead of alone.

Who can be a Big Duo?

Big Duos are two people who have an established, healthy relationship and are both committed to the importance of mentoring. Examples of Big Duos include:

Both individuals who are part of a Big Duo must submit separate applications and complete an interview and background check. Both must live or work in or near Butler County. As with all programs at Big Brothers Big Sisters, each individual volunteer must be qualified before they can be matched with a Little. Bigs and Littles are matched based on many factors, including location, personality, and shared interests.

The Smithsonian benefits from the work of thousands of passionate volunteers who support the organization on-site in our museums, zoo, and other facilities.

Today, digital technology makes it possible for people who believe in the Smithsonian mission to make significant contributions online. "Digital Volunteers" can now take on important assignments to expand access to the Smithsonian's massive collections, and can participate in a variety of research programs. Some roles require special knowledge or skill, but many do not.

Selected opportunities are described below.

Launched in July 2013, the Smithsonian Transcription Center seeks to engage the public in making our collections more accessible. Citizen scholars are invited to transcribe historic documents including diaries and working papers of prominent Americans and records associated with the Smithsonian's vast scientific collections. Transcription makes these important materials more accessible to researchers around the world, as well as the general public.

To date, more than ten thousand citizen scholars have come to the Transcription Center and engaged with the wide array of documents posted there by Smithsonian archivists and curators—from field notebooks surveying snakes and reptiles in South Dakota in 1894 to the diaries of Leo Baekeland, the American chemist and founder of the modern plastics industry.

To learn more about this opportunity and get involved as a citizen scholar, visit the Smithsonian Transcription Center.

The Smithsonian seeks digital volunteers to assist in contributing content to Wikipedia related to our collections and areas of expertise. Improving the quality and quantity of reliable information on Wikipedia, as well as usage of Smithsonian resources on the site, helps meet our mission, the "increase and diffusion of knowledge." We seek experienced and motivated Wikipedia editors who are technically proficient in both the software and the norms of the Wikimedia community. To find out more about how to become a Wikipedia volunteer for the Smithsonian, visit the Smithsonian Institution's WikiProject.

Anyone can contribute. Improve access to history by transcribing, reviewing, and tagging Library of Congress documents.

The Library of Congress launched By the People (crowd.loc.gov) in the autumn of 2018.

These transcriptions will improve search, readability, and access to handwritten and typed documents for those who are not fully sighted or cannot read the handwriting of the original documents.

Be My Eyes is a free mobile app with one main goal: to make the world more accessible for blind and low-vision people. The app connects blind and low-vision individuals with sighted volunteers and companies from all over the world through a live video call.

Since we launched in January 2015, more than 2,000,000 volunteers have signed up to assist blind and low-vision users. Be My Eyes users can request assistance in over 180 languages making the app the biggest online community for blind and low-vision people as well as one of the largest micro-volunteering platforms in the world! Every day, volunteers sign onto Be My Eyes to lend their sight to blind and low-vision individuals to tackle challenges and solve problems together.

The Be My Eyes story started in Denmark in 2012 with Hans Jørgen Wiberg, a Danish furniture craftsman, who is visually impaired himself. Through his work at ‘The Danish Association of the Blind’, he recognized that blind or low-vision people often needed a little assistance to solve everyday tasks. However, it wasn’t until a blind friend told him that he used video calls to connect with family and friends, who could help him with these tasks, that Hans Jørgen got the idea for Be My Eyes. He believed that the technology of video calls could be used to visually assist blind or low-vision individuals, without them having to rely on friends and family, but using a network of volunteers.

When disaster strikes, Digital Volunteers assist the Social Engagement team by:

Digital Volunteers sign up to monitor, engage, and report in four-hour shifts. While this work is done remotely, our Digital Volunteers report directly to the National Headquarters Social Engagement team in coordination with their local chapter communicators.

Due to the time commitment and technical tools involved in this role, there are a few requirements that you must meet before you can get trained to be a Digital Volunteer.

Pyramid Hill is looking for long-term volunteer docents for its Ancient Sculpture Museum.

The Ancient Sculpture Museum is open 7 days a week, 12 - 5pm. This facility houses a collection of Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Etruscan and Syrian antiquities. Volunteer docents will be asked to monitor the collection, interact with guests and educate visitors about the collection and further Pyramid Hill's mission of "bringing people to art in nature." Volunteer docents will receive preliminary and continued training on the Pyramid Hill antiquities collection and how to enhance guest experiences at this facility.

Pyramid Hill is proud to offer community service opportunities to people of all backgrounds, abilities and interests. Volunteers who complete more than 10 hours of service will receive a FREE 1-year family membership.

As a non-profit, volunteers are our bedrock; we deeply appreciate the time volunteers dedicate to our Park and the services they provide to our organization! If you are interested in becoming a volunteer docent, please contact our Arts & Programming Manger, Gabi Roach at groach@pyramidhill.org for a short interview.

We need more than coaches to make First Tee possible. We rely on volunteers — sometimes year-round — to accomplish our mission, and not all of those goals involve golf. We also need support off the course to deliver our program to kids and teens in the community and recreation centers in our communities. 

Outreach Volunteers assist the First Tee Staff, Coaches, and Youth Leaders at the center by: Providing basic sports instruction, monitoring safety zones, organizing groups, and leading activity stations.

The safety of our kids is our top priority. That is why all volunteers are required to complete a chapter provided background check, and, if applicable, Safesport Training before volunteering.

To get started, please visit the volunteer page on our website. 

Field Day Takeovers

Field Day Takeovers focus on bringing the First Tee experience to those without access to a golf course. We bring the equipment, staff, and volunteers to deliver an engaging program at a partner facility.

CRC Community Days with First Tee

First Tee has partnered with the Cincinnati Recreation Commission and the Tony Yates Junior Golf Academy to host all-immersive life and golf skills program for kids and teens in recreation centers across Greater Cincinnati.

(New) Afternoon Community Golf Days – Reeves Golf Course 

New for 2022 is the Afternoon Community Golf Days program. Like the morning session, First Tee will host kids and teens from recreation and youth centers. However, there will be a greater emphasis on goal setting, managing conflict, and dealing with diversity in addition to golf instruction.
