18 Jan 2016Indeed TerraCycle.com is the last key to Zero Waste with all the “Unrecyclables” that they currently accept and pay 2 cents each for as well as 100% of the Shipping! Yes Kids, Children, Tweens, and Teens can assist in the most mundane portion of TerraCycling…the separation of items into their proper TerraCycle Brigade(aka Category) sometimes referred to as a TerraCycle Tango. Following the guidance of the Episcopal Church for Child Supervision: at least two adults always present when children are present, a criminal back ground check, and participation in online training covering the safety of Children! This way all can participate in TerraCycle Tangos all to Raise Funds with Rubbish or Tithe with Trash! Zero
waste here we come!

17 Jan 2016We have already received some good ideas on how to engage Youth Volunteers. The ideas were sent in before we created this project page, so they are listed here. Please send in your own good ideas so that we can create a complete list of innovative ways to engage Youth Volunteers in helping to fulfill the mission of a nonprofit. Here are some Youth Volunteer Job Positions:
***Library Information Table–Did you know that it is free and legal to set up a volunteer recruitment booth, information table or even a dog/cat adoption booth outside of any local library? Young people would be great at engaging the public and encouraging others to volunteer, spay & neuter animals, adopt rescued animals or gain awareness about other information relevant to a nonprofit’s mission.
***Foster Homes for Animals—“Sell” the idea of fostering as a good way for families to teach their children & teens about volunteer work that helps their community.
***Social Media Campaign—Ask youth to set up, post pictures on or, even, run your Twitter, Instagram or Facebook page.
***Create & Update Websites
***Create a Video about Your Nonprofit
***Post Pictures of Adoptable or Lost & Found Animals
***Amateur “Pet Detectives”—Able to go out and help look when an animal is lost in a location near their home and/or assist elderly or disabled individuals in putting out lost & found posters.
***Dog Walkers—Pair them with individuals who believe they have to give up their animals because they are not getting enough exercise. Ask them to walk dogs at animal shelters. This also helps socialize the animals and get them used to young people.
***Clean Kennels or Cages. Clean storage shelves.
***Sort, Carry or Transport Donated Food, Supplies or other Donated Items.
These are the ideas that we have received so far. What ideas will you share? 🙂
