We invite you to bring your passion, skills and experience to our team as a long-term volunteer. Your help will make a lasting impact on the lives of the people we serve, the people we employ and the people they encounter in their everyday lives. Below, you will find a list of responsibilities that we have identified as necessary in this role: Responsibilities: • Research qualitative and quantitative data to support program initiatives • Research relevant funding opportunities • Write grant applications to support ongoing and proposed programs You will make a major impact through a growing organization; YOU matter to us.

We are in the process of trying to reopen our store after severe flooding March 2020. We just put down a deposit to get our electrical panel repaired and are now working to raise funds to get our roof repaired so all of our new electrical isn't damaged from rains. We do have a contractors estimate for complete repairs of our building, but hope to at least get enough to get the roof done. We are hoping to get open by 10/31/2020 to be able to start generating revenue to re open our programs by 2021. We could use some help fundraising for this, OR,...if you know a roofer willing to help us out, that would be Amazing! Once we get our electrical power fixed, we'll also be looking for help cleaning, painting and getting donations organized - I'll post under another project for that. mahalo

During this coronavirus pandemic, children and youth are more at risk of abuse and neglect due to the increased isolation and pressures on families. Experts predict an increase in children entering foster care, particularly once youth start to return to the classroom. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children notes an increase from 2 million to 4.2 million reports of online exploitation from March to April 2020, and there has been a rise in the number of minors contacting the National Sexual Assault Hotline to report abuse. San Francisco will need to be ready to support these youth entering foster care, and San Francisco CASA is recruiting volunteers to help. San Francisco Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) transforms the lives of abused and neglected foster youth by providing one consistent, caring volunteer advocate, trained to address each child’s needs in the court and the community. For a child who has experienced trauma and instability, you can be that one consistent and caring adult, who advocates for their needs, and champions their rights in court. Becoming a CASA is likely to be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life, full of surprises, challenges, and self-discovery. Stand up for foster youth and serve a youth one-on-one! Sign up for an upcoming virtual info session to learn more about our program: https://www.sfcasa.org/volunteer *Please note that you must be in the Bay Area to participate as you are required to attend court hearings.
