Public Education Program
Fact Sheets: We’re constantly adding to our collection of fact sheets and would love help researching and writing more. Or if fact sheets aren’t your thing, but you enjoy writing, then try your hand at a blog post. This is a great remote volunteer opportunity! Translations: Another fantastic remote opportunity! All of our fact sheets are published in English and Spanish, and we can always use volunteers who are willing to take a document and translate it into another language. Other OpportunitiesAdministrative Volunteer: Volunteers are needed to help with office organization, newsletter mailings and more. This can include working to support SCAN’s annual Northern Virginia Child Abuse Prevention Campaign through the preparation of mailings and other public education materials as well as providing support for important outreach events. Special Event Volunteers: SCAN seeks Fundraising Volunteers to assist with the coordination of special events, solicitation of local businesses for donations of silent auction items, preparation and organization of materials related to fundraising, and/or planning around solicitations of local businesses. Actual volunteer tasks will vary according to the volunteer’s experience, contacts, and comfort level. Fundraising volunteers are provided with training, support, and materials. There are opportunities to assist in all stages of fundraising projects, including: coordinating an event, graphic design of promotional materials, assistance with mass mailings, follow up calls to local businesses, or meetings with local business leaders. Commitment can range from several hours a week for a limited number of weeks leading up to an event or a few hours a month long-term. For more information on fundraising volunteer opportunities at SCAN, call Sally Richards, Director of Development, at (703) 820-9001 or email srichards@scanva.org. You may also be interested in organizing a fundraiser and making SCAN the beneficiary. You can work with a group of your coworkers, your Civic Club, a women’s group, a church group, a Scout troop, or any group that wants to work together to organize a fundraiser to help stop child abuse in Northern Virginia. Be creative! More information and a benefit proposal form are available. Volunteer with your Group: Your community service, church, civic or just a group of your friends can volunteer together to help SCAN, either through a one-time activity or by planning a benefit for SCAN. Some one-time activities include helping SCAN with one of the family meals before parenting classes – anything from buying groceries to cooking and eating with the families. Other one-time activities could include planting a pinwheel garden to raise awareness or a few people could help our childcare volunteers one evening at our support groups or parenting classes. You could also plan a benefit, like a concert or fashion show, and donate the proceeds to SCAN. If you want to plan a benefit, but aren’t sure what – how about organizing a Dining for Dollars event at a local restaurant? (We have a whole list of them who have offered!) Research Aide: SCAN strives to keep on top of current information regarding child safety, child abuse and neglect, and resources available for education and prevention. SCAN seeks volunteers to research topics for fact sheets, workshops, and various SCAN activities. For more information on volunteer opportunities, email SCAN at info@scanva.org or call SCAN at (703) 820-9001.

Wish-granting volunteers must be at least 18 years of age and have reliable transportation. Also required are a signed Conflict of Interest/Ethics Agreement (annual), cleared background check and a one-day training session. Background checks must be updated every three years.

Your Sunshine is a 501(c) 3 charitable nonprofit organization that was created by a core group of enthusiastic, philanthropic, and dedicated founders with a deep passion for effecting change in the human condition. Your Sunshine’s mission is to enrich and improve the social, physical, emotional, and recreational capabilities of all children, youth, and adults, so that they can fully discover and develop their full potential in a nurturing environment, and be prepared to make a positive impact in the world. The main objective driving each new day at Your Sunshine is to turn limitations into possibilities. Our founder, Anastasia Martynova, grew up as an individual with special needs and gained lifelong insights through her first-hand experiences of what it truly feels like to be different from others. Ms. Martynova devoted to deliver the robust programs and curriculum to persons with special needs to best help them develop skills, talents, and friendships, provide the support of community, and to empower them and add worth and value to their view of themselves. Your Sunshine has been very active at the community offering free classes, day camps inclusive for all, recreational and social events, customized birthday celebrations, and a wide array of workshops and classes. We also have been offering after-school programs that provide students with academic enrichment opportunities, as well as additional activities designed to complement the districts’ academic programs. Since the first days of our dedicated service, we engaged over 250 volunteers, conducted 50 programs, classes, and events, and touched the hearts of over 400 kids, youth, and adults. We also successfully launched our first Hidden Talents Shine Up Talent Show in May 2017 where 18 performers impressed the audience with their amazing performances and over 200 people came to support the show. www.yoursunshine.org

Volunteer: Cat and/or Kitten Foster ParentIt's Kitten Season and we need your help! Fancy Cats is a foster-based rescue and we are always looking for volunteers who are able to take cats into their homes.The cats in foster homes benefit from the socialization they receive by interacting with their foster families.The foster program helps us learn more about an individual cat's habits and personality to better match each cat with their perfect forever home! Foster homes are often needed for cats residing at one of Fancy Cats PetSmart locations. This gives the cats a break from their time in a cage. Fosters are also needed for new intakes, male and female, young and old, sick and healthy. During kitten season (March through October), our need for foster homes skyrockets. Short-term foster homes are for cats that need a break from one of our PETsMART locations, or need to be in a home environment, such as kittens or shy cats. A short term foster home also assists our organization with emergency intake cases as needed. Short-term fosters usually last from two to eight weeks, but can sometimes run longer. Long-term foster homes are for cats staying for two or more months. These cats often like to be only cats, may react very negatively to being in a cage, are older aged or may have a special medical need. Long term foster homes are for cats that are often adopted from a website inquiry because they may be too stressed at busy adoption events or because of a medical issue. It is important to approach long-term fostering as if the foster cat may be in your home from one to three or more years. Cats with medical needs may be in your home for even longer.
