Volunteer: Meet ALICE Experience - 10/23/2025- Hosted by United Way
The Meet ALICE Experience is designed to help participants begin to understand what it might be like to live in a typical low-income family trying to survive from month to month. It is a simulation, not a game! The objective is to sensitize participants to the realities faced by low-income people. Here’s how the Experience works: Participants assume the role of a low-income family member living on a limited budget and interact with volunteers playing the roles of bill collectors, school administrators, service providers, and more. A simulation creates a community of people living in poverty for one “month” comprised of four 15-minute weeks. During this hour, each family unit must connect with community resources (i.e. schools, utility companies, social service workers, etc.) to meet their basic needs on a limited income. The experience lasts about two hours. It includes an introduction, the actual simulation exercise, and a debriefing period in which participants and actors share their feelings and experiences and learn about ways they can get involved in reducing poverty in our community.What will volunteers do? During a simulation, we use volunteers to role play as community agencies such as child care centers, social services, utilities, interfaith services, sheriff and more. We are seeking volunteers to take on one of these essential roles at our upcoming simulation. Light Breakfast will served.

Volunteer: Green Building at Hero SchoolLooking to participate in a radically green development project? Long Way Home is constructing a self-sustainable 20-building green campus in the western Highlands of Guatemala, named Hero School.

As a volunteer, you will join our local construction crew and other volunteers who participate in the construction of the school. Most of the campus is finished and operating a school of grades K-11 with 187 students and 35 local staff, while we continue construction. In Guatemala, there is a dry season (Nov-April) and a rainy season (May-Oct), and we work throughout the whole year. We welcome volunteers of all skill levels and experiences! It is important to have a good attitude, be a team player, have the motivation to help out, and be flexible. Must be able to walk up and down hills at high elevation (7,000 ft). On-site, we have a communal kitchen. All the water we collect from rainwater, some of which is filtered for drinking water on-site and at the volunteer house. Long Way Home's mission is to use sustainable design to construct self-sufficient buildings that promote education, employment, and environmental stewardship. We've used more than 400 tons of trash and over 15500 tires in our construction so far. We aim to end the cycle of poverty through innovation that is relevant to the context.

If you have any questions before signing up, please contact us at info@enginprogram.org. Why Volunteer with ENGin?Make an impact without leaving your room: ENGin offers a unique opportunity to make a personal connection and a tangible difference in another student's life, all from your laptop or phone. Create your own schedule: It can be tough to fit volunteer hours into a busy schedule! ENGin offers volunteers maximum flexibility: you decide when to schedule speaking sessions with your student. If something comes up, you can reschedule a session. Connect with peers across the globe: The opportunity for intercultural exchange is one of the best aspects of our program. Our volunteers love getting to know their speaking buddies, learning about a different culture, and sharing stories about their own lives. Get valuable one-on-one tutoring experience: Armed with resources and support from our team, you'll gain valuable skills such as preparing for a session, asking good questions, and forming a strong working relationship with a peer. Am I Eligible?ENGin has 3 main criteria for volunteers:
Age: You should be 14-22 years old. English fluency: Volunteers should be native English speakers or fluent in English (English level of C1-C2). Commitment: Volunteers should be ready to dedicate 1-2 hours a week to ENGin. If you're looking for more hours, we can accommodate that too! You don't need teaching experience to volunteer with ENGin. Our learners have all studied English grammar and vocabulary and can carry on a conversation. Volunteers are not expected to prepare or deliver formal lessons - rather, they chat informally with their buddies to help them practice and improve their spoken English.

Volunteer: Academic Service-Learning Crime CharactersSee Professor Hall's Instrctions if you are in her class. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you are a student in another class, please refer to the instructions below. CRIME CHARACTERS ACADEMIC SERVICE LEARNING PROJECT – 10 service hours Crime has been central in shaping the history and society of Australia. This project will make a significant contribution to family, local, social and criminal justice history by revealing untold stories about the lives of people who committed crimes in Australia across time. It aims to discover new perspectives on the types of factors that led to individuals ending up in the prison system. In particular, it is hoped that the research will challenge existing ideas about what the label of 'criminal' has historically meant by revealing the diverse nature of the people who spent time in prison. Why? Transcription of these prison records offers unprecedented opportunities to discover how criminal offending fitted into the wider lives of offenders, as well as illuminating the involvement of individuals in a range of criminal activity from the end of the convict period through to the start of the Second World War. The creation of this dataset will thus bridge gaps between historical knowledge of crime and contemporary criminological research by providing insights into the contexts and patterns of offending across a period that saw significant legal and social developments, including mass migrations, changing technologies, war, economic depressions, the emergence of the narcotics traffic, and the evolution of new forms of punishment.
Virtual Learning Read the Background research, FAQ’s and other pertinent information from project website.
Virtual Service Pick 3 crime characters and read their backgrounds. Transcribe 3 full records of crime characters following the directions provided by the site. https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/ajpiper/criminal-characters/classify

What did you find most intriguing about transcribing the criminal profiles? Given what you learned about the project, describe how you saw the importance of this work? As a result of this assignment, how can you use this experience to help others?

If you are a student in another class, please refer to the instructions below.
SCOTUS NOTES ACADEMIC SERVICE LEARNING PROJECT – 10 service hours
Title: SCOTUS NOTES ACADEMIC SERVICE-LEARNING PROJECT 10 service hours Transcribe the handwritten conference notes left by Supreme Court justices. Your transcriptions will provide unprecedented access to the justices' conversations in thousands of Court decisions. The transcription will contribute to key research about law and politics as each participant will become a citizen archivist and transcriber, creating materials that will be of use and openly available to scholars interested in law, policy, and decision making in the nation's highest court. Perhaps the most meaningful outcome is that the collaborative will provide public access to documents that will open up the Court in ways not possible to those who cannot access the Library of Congress or travel to law schools around the country. In so doing, they will also provide these insights in a format that will lead to a better understanding of the justices' decision making process on a wide variety of important cases over the past half century. The purpose of the project is three-fold: Provide on-line access to a large collection of almost 50,000 pages of Supreme Court conference notes that reside at the Library of Congress, Washington and Lee Law School, and Yale Law School, by digitizing all the notes; Engage citizen archivists and transcribers to crowdsource transcriptions of the justices' notes with greater efficiency and accuracy than could be done by researchers at participating institutions; and Facilitate large-scale quantitative analysis based on these notes to demonstrate how justices interact with one another as they make decisions on law and policy in the United States. Virtual Learning or TutorialUnlock Who Said What and When! Our goal is to generate a searchable archive of everything written in hundreds of meetings where the Supreme Court decided thousands of cases. Identify A Line of Notes Use your cursor to underline a full line of text. Then you will be prompted to transcribe the text you have underlined Transcribing Tips: Transcribe the handwritten words exactly as they appear. This includes abbreviations, shortened words, symbols, etc. Sometimes you will come across notations that are very difficult to decipher. In fact, some words (or letters) may not be legible. This is completely normal so do not fret! If there are letters you cannot transcribe, please replace each unclear letter with an asterisk (*).

The transcription will contribute to key research about law and politics as each participant will become a citizen archivist and transcriber, creating materials that will be of use and openly available to scholars interested in law, policy, and decision making in the nation's highest court. Perhaps the most meaningful outcome is that the collaborative will provide public access to documents that will open up the Court in ways not possible to those who cannot access the Library of Congress or travel to law schools around the country. In so doing, they will also provide these insights in a format that will lead to a better understanding of the justices' decision making process on a wide variety of important cases over the past half century. The purpose of the project is three-fold: Provide on-line access to a large collection of almost 50,000 pages of Supreme Court conference notes that reside at the Library of Congress, Washington and Lee Law School, and Yale Law School, by digitizing all the notes; Engage citizen archivists and transcribers to crowdsource transcriptions of the justices' notes with greater efficiency and accuracy than could be done by researchers at participating institutions; and Facilitate large-scale quantitative analysis based on these notes to demonstrate how justices interact with one another as they make decisions on law and policy in the United States. Virtual Learning or TutorialUnlock Who Said What and When! Our goal is to generate a searchable archive of everything written in hundreds of meetings where the Supreme Court decided thousands of cases. Identify A Line of Notes Use your cursor to underline a full line of text. Then you will be prompted to transcribe the text you have underlined Transcribing Tips: Transcribe the handwritten words exactly as they appear. This includes abbreviations, shortened words, symbols, etc. Sometimes you will come across notations that are very difficult to decipher. In fact, some words (or letters) may not be legible. This is completely normal so do not fret! If there are letters you cannot transcribe, please replace each unclear letter with an asterisk (*).
