Thanks for your interest in volunteering with Project Nightlight! Since Project Nightlight has no paid employees, we depend on volunteers for everything from working hands on with children, to graphic design and fundraising.

Right now, we're in the process of trying to build up our network of volunteers. Here's a list of some of our volunteer needs. Please let us know if you can help in any of these areas. If you have a knack for something that isn't listed below, please let us know that too. No matter what your interests or talents, we've got a job for you!

Volunteer Coordinator: We have lots of volunteers, but no one to coordinate their efforts. If you're good at organizing and motivating others, this is the job for you! This opportunity includes sending out bi-weekly emails announcing upcoming volunteer opportunities and recruiting new volunteers.

Night Time Team: Work with others to secure and gather donations of nightlights, stuffed animals, blankets, books, journals and pj's to be given to children at the moment that they are removed from their home. Most of these children leave all of their possessions behind and have nothing. Project Nightlight tries to help them feel more at home by providing items that will make them feel safe in their new surroundings. This opportunity will include activities such as contacting toy manufacturers and toy stores about donations.

Phone Calling and Apointment Setting: Coordinate our high energy abuse awareness sessions at local after school programs. This is great for someone who has time to make phone calls from home.

Guest Speakers: Do you enjoy working hands on with children and teens? Then, this is the job for you. Go with us into after school programs and help us inspire children to report abuse.

Publicists: We need help getting the word out about our programs. We also need to increase the size of the people on our mailing list. If you have contacts in the media world, we need your help!

Fashionistas: Have friends in the apparel business??? We need you! We are constantly being asked to provide clothing for teenagers. If you have any contacts or are willing to help us secure donations, let us know.

Event Planning: Like to plan parties? We need your help planning our next event.

Grant Writing: If you are detail oriented and like to write, please, please, please consider helping us out with grant applications. Don't let the urban legends scare you...not all grant applications are a hundred pages long. Most grants that we apply for only require a few pages outlining our budget, mission and project details. No experience required!

Skateboarders: We have many programs to teach kids to skateboard. If you're down, we can use your help.

Graphic Designers: We need tshirts and schwag. Please help!

Video Editors: We need to cut down our PSAs to 15 and 30 seconds. If you can help, please let us know.

MySpace Manager: Help us grow our MySpace prescense. Write back to people who contact us. Get your friends to be our friends. Spruce up our page.
