Inter-Faith Food Shuttle has a number of internship opportunities available for students in the Raleigh area and covering:

Internships are for 3 - 4 months, based on the Spring, Summer, and Fall semesters (Jan - May, May - August, late August - December). 

Inter-Faith Food Shuttle is an innovative hunger-relief organization serving seven counties within the Triangle and surrounding.  We believe hunger IS fixable if the community works together to do two things: create sources of healthy food in every low-income neighborhood and grow opportunities for people to provide for themselves by learning job skills or growing their own food.

From BackPack Buddies to nutrition education; mobile markets to community gardens; culinary job training to agriculture training, we go directly to people in need and create what works to empower them.  We feed. We teach. We grow…to create a hunger-free and healthy community.

We offer many volunteer opportunities at our Reuse Arts Center and Thrift Store. There's something for everyone, no artistic or craft skills necessary! See the link below for detailed descriptions:

Welcome to Purpose Learning Lab Literacy Program,

The reading buddies program allows older students the opportunity to develop fluency as well as a sense of pride in their accomplishments. In addition, they often come to see the value of reading. Students can not only promote good practices but gain self-esteem. Repeatedly reading easier books has been shown to improve reading abilities in poor readers, and this program provides students with a reason to read easier books.

Reading to younger students can help them develop a love of reading and a greater motivation to read. Younger students should also read to their older buddies each week, as this allows younger readers to feel a sense of accomplishment while they build fluency. Because the program provides success in literacy, students often become more positive about their ability to read and may also improve their reading skills. Ideally, buddy visits will be ongoing, and older and younger students will become familiar with one another and nurture a mutual interest in reading.

The Durham Center for Senior Life (DCSL) is looking for volunteers who would be interested in helping support our Tuesday morning tech program at our new location at 4900 N. Roxboro Street in Durham. From 9am-11am we run "Just Ask George" a one-on-one tech support program where center members can drop in to get help with their phones, email, setting up accounts online, and more. 

For this role, we are looking for volunteers who would shadow George and help provide one-on-one tech support. Most of the questions members come with are on the basic technology side, such as how to attach photos to a text, how to manage social media, how to download a document from an email, etc. You are welcome to bring your phone and laptop for demonstrations, or to look up information.

This is a great opportunity to help older adults become more tech savvy and independent while working with a fun and interesting group of people!

This volunteer will be stationed at our reception and/or welcome desk to welcome participants to our center, direct them to programming, and answer phones to take messages during out slower evening hours from 5-7pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We will provide a tour and training so volunteers can be comfortable and confident when working with members. Ideally, volunteers will be able to commit to multiple shifts.

Welcome to Purpose Learning Lab Literacy Program,

The reading buddies program allows older students the opportunity to develop fluency as well as a sense of pride in their accomplishments. In addition, they often come to see the value of reading. Students can not only promote good practices but gain self-esteem. Repeatedly reading easier books has been shown to improve reading abilities in poor readers, and this program provides students with a reason to read easier books.

Reading to younger students can help them develop a love of reading and a greater motivation to read. Younger students should also read to their older buddies each week, as this allows younger readers to feel a sense of accomplishment while they build fluency. Because the program provides success in literacy, students often become more positive about their ability to read and may also improve their reading skills. Ideally, buddy visits will be ongoing, and older and younger students will become familiar with one another and nurture a mutual interest in reading.

The Museum of Durham History is making moves this summer: we would like to attend 2 different farmer's market, each once a month, with a marketing table and some traveling exhibit materials. For this to happen, we would need lots of volunteer help to set up, staff, and break down. 

These would be both the Durham Farmer's Market at Durham Central Park and the Black Farmer's Market at Durham Tech. The first date would be April 26th at Durham Central Park, with 2 volunteer shifts: 8:30am-10:30am, and 10:30am-12:30pm. The second date would be May 4th at Durham Technical Community College, with 2 volunteer shifts: 11:30am-2:30pm and 2:30pm-4:30pm.

The setup would include a tent, a table and chairs. We would have marketing materials available for people to grab, as well as sign-up sheets for our newsletter. Most importantly, these farmer's markets will be a way for us to show off our Faces of Durham traveling exhibit. It is our goal this summer to expand into public spaces and community gatherings by bringing our historical content directly to folks outside the museum.
