Our Seasonal Basics event is October 4th, and we are preparing to provide children in foster care, and children whose family is experiencing financial insecurities with the essentials they need for the season ahead. Currently we have 135 kids registered, but we expect about 100 more. Right now, we are seeking donations of clothing sizes 0–Large to make sure every child has something warm, comfortable, and new-to-them.

✨ Every shirt, jacket, and pair of pants donated makes a difference for a child who deserves to feel cared for and confident.

Together, we can keep kids cozy and cared for this fall. Thank you for being part of this mission!

Tuesday’s Children is actively recruiting volunteer adult mentors for our youth mentoring program, established exclusively for children and siblings of fallen military service members. This custom-designed program fills the gaps in services offered to families of the fallen with children 6-18 years old. Mentors can offer advice, share life experiences, help a young person navigate challenges, and have fun! So many mentors share that their mentoring relationship changed their life for the better, just as much as they changed the life of a child.

Volunteers are recruited, screened, trained, and managed/supervised by professional staff to safeguard that every adult is committed and qualified to play an active role in the healing of a child. Matches between a mentor and a child are made based on common interests, personality traits and similar schedules and intended to last a year or longer.

Community Service shouldn't be this much fun!

Our Fall Festival features pony rides, tractor rides, games, prizes, entertainment, kids' crafts and more - all free!

PEC’s Community Farm at Roundabout Meadows connects residents to Loudoun’s vital agricultural history while providing locally-grown fruits and vegetables for its food-insecure population today.

Since its inaugural season in 2019, the Community Farm has donated 100% of its produce to area food pantries, totaling over 180,000 pounds.

Corporate volunteering at the Community Farm is an excellent way for your team to strengthen internal partnerships while making a meaningful impact on the community.

Volunteers will work in groups, bonding with their coworkers over shared tasks on our beautiful farm. Our farm staff guides volunteers through the day’s tasks which often include planting and harvesting fruits and vegetables and caring for our orchard, berry patch and native plant gardens. 

We believe that taking team-building outside of the office and into nature creates opportunities for fresh perspectives and inspires individuals to make positive changes in their communities.

We hope our volunteers leave the farm feeling more connected to their environment, each other, and inspired to tell their friends and family about the impact they made at the Community Farm at Roundabout Meadows!

Loudoun Volunteer Caregivers is a volunteer based organization that provides free services to some of the most vulnerable people in the county. Most of our Care Receivers are shut-ins. If they aren't shut-ins, it is seldom that they get to socialize or go out, save a doctor's appointment or a rare, special event. 

One of the services we provide to our Care Receivers is food delivery. Several of our Care Receivers are both lonely and hungry. Most live all alone and a few of them are families. Some of the families have young children who are being raised by a grandparent or grandparents. Each time you deliver food to one of our Care Receivers, you are providing nutritious food to them, but, you are also providing them with much needed companionship and hope. If not for your deliveries of food, our Care Receivers wouldn't be able to eat proper meals, if at all. All of these gifts you are giving are huge for our Care Receivers, and for us, too! With your help, we keep our Care Receivers going and because of you, we can continue to fulfill our mission. 

We are affiliated with Dulles South Food Pantry and Loudoun Hunger Relief. This means you can serve both the East and West side of Loudoun County and choose which pantry would be more convenient for you to deliver from. Flexibility is just one of the benefits we offer our volunteers

We look forward to meeting with you and providing you with more details about the open positions and opportunities we have for you! 

Based on your own schedule! Help with minor home repairs, mowing, yard work, or snow shoveling from our web-based system.  

 Most appointments are flexible and take place weekdays and during daytime hours.  We have some weekend appointments as well.

There is no minimum weekly requirement of number of appointments or number of hours served. 

We are looking for friendly, reliable volunteers who have skills in carpentry and property maintenance. 

Appointment times vary from one to several hours.

Orientation and training is provided.  Volunteer application and background check is required.  

Loudoun Volunteer Caregivers works with the elderly and disabled of Loudoun County. These are two groups who have been categorized as vulnerable by the CDC, WHO and other organizations. Due to the current restrictions our Care Receivers are facing, most have been ordered to stay home and wait until it has been deemed safe to go out again. This means many of our senior Care Receivers and Disabled Care Receivers with compromised immune systems cannot leave their homes to shop for necessities like food, prescriptions, toiletries and more.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DO REQUIRE A BACKGROUND CHECK FOR ALL OF OUR VOLUNTEERS. This will be done at no cost to you and we will be happy to provide you a copy of the report for your records.  

If this sounds like a task you feel comfortable assisting with, please don't hesitate to contact us. We are eager and grateful to have you join our volunteer family!

We provide services to elderly and disabled Loudoun County residents who may be unable to drive and are restricted to their homes due to age or health.  

We are looking for volunteers to visit clients once a week for 45 minutes to an hour and cheer them up.  You might play chess, cards, or take a walk with a client.  Or you might just sit and talk with the client.  

Volunteers who are social, friendly, outgoing, and who like interacting on a personal level, this is for you.  Appointments are usually during the day and during the week.  You pick up appointments on our friendly web based system.

There is no minimum weekly requirement of number of hours required.

Orientation and training is provided.  Volunteer application and background check is required.  

We have been providing extra items for our low income elderly and disabled Care Receivers, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, coffee, prescriptions, cleaning supplies, etc. We have been able to do this for the last couple of months using the supply of gift cards we had in our office. In the last few weeks, the need for these items has steadily increased and we would like to continue to do be able to provide these extra necessities for our Care Receivers.

In order to continue to shop for them, we will need additional gift cards. We are requesting gift card donations to the following stores in $20 amounts:

Wegman's 

Harris Teeter

Giant

Safeway

Food Lion

Aldi

Lidl 

CVS

Walgreens

Amazon

These can be dropped off or mailed to:

Volunteers must attend a mandatory orientation that includes an overview of neurodegenerative diseases, common behaviors, communication techniques, and person-centered care. A negative TB test within 30 days of your volunteer start date and consent to a criminal background check is required.

This orientation is specific to those volunteers who want to volunteer at the Lab during Field Trips during the week (Monday-Friday) and want to work directly with children and staff, creating great experiences for them. If this describes you, there are a few requirements you must meet:

- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You will be required to undergo a background check, at our expense.
- You must commit to volunteering with the Children’s Science Center for 10 hours in your first year (4 field trips).

Field trip volunteer orientation is designed to equip volunteers with the knowledge and skills needed to support students during their visit. The orientation consists of two main parts:

Presentation in the Garage: Volunteers will start by gathering in the garage for a presentation. During this session, they will learn about the organization's mission, history, and overall goals. This portion aims to provide a solid understanding of the organization's background and the context in which they will be working.

Field Trip Experience: The second part of the orientation involves an actual field trip experience. Volunteers will be assigned to groups of students and will rotate through various experience areas within the lab. This hands-on session helps volunteers become familiar with the different stations and activities that students will engage in, ensuring they are well-prepared to guide and assist throughout the field trip.

Overall, the orientation is designed to blend informative learning with practical experience, ensuring that volunteers are both knowledgeable and comfortable in their roles.

Field Trips are in the mornings Monday-Friday at the Children's Science Center Lab during the school year, except for some school holidays.

The volunteer shift is 2.5 hours, either from 9:30am-12:00pm, or 10:00am-12:30pm. 

Field Trips are for Elementary Schools.

If you are not willing or able to meet these requirements, we would still love to have you volunteer in other roles at the Science Center. You can assist in behind-the-scenes preparation and stocking, community events like Family Science Nights, and some special events. If you wish to volunteer in these support roles and not as a field trip volunteer, you do not need to attend an in-person orientation. Instead, you can sign up immediately for any opportunity on the volunteer portal, as long as you meet the eligibility requirements as listed in the opportunity description.

If you are willing and able to meet the Field Trip Volunteering requirements and are interested in participating in an orientation, please first review the changes to our volunteer policies here.

We will be holding orientation 1 time monthly, and upcoming orientation dates will be posted here as they are scheduled. 

Feel free, also, to email the volunteer team at volunteer@childsci.org with questions and for more information.

Do you like to help people? We are looking for someone who is dependable, compassionate and comfortable helping others. It is not a big-time commitment, and you would be making a difference in the life of someone who needs extra support in their job. 

Job coaching will involve training, mentoring, and monitoring the skills, goals, and needs of the individuals who have just started a job. 

Please contact us for more information.

Share your musical (or other) talent with our friendly group of individuals who have early-stage dementia!

This could be an individual musician or a very small ensemble. The group also enjoys people who share other skills or special experiences, such as science experiments, animal therapy, or laughter yoga! Ideally the volunteer would come monthly for up to 1 hour during our program time on a Mon/Tue/Wed/Fri.
