Needs From: Hands On Amarillo

We need a RST volunteer, or a few RST volunteers, who have passed our background check who would be willing to learn a couple bus routes and then teach those routes to clients.

We would like to have guest speakers come and speak for 5-7 minutes or more if needed about their business or non profit organization. This will help our members have another way to practice their listening skills and take note on how other people communicate. Thanks in advance. We meet every Tuesday on Zoom from 6pm-7pm. 

BECOME A MAKE-A-WISH NORTH TEXAS VOLUNTEER! Our volunteer program is designed to give each volunteer a diverse and rewarding experience while working towards fulfilling our mission: Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.  

We have many events and fundraisers throughout the year, usually in the evenings or on weekends. 

Event volunteers help plan, organize, and implement successful fundraising events by working on event committees, helping on the event day and/or participating in the event.  

Event volunteers can also help decorate, check in/out guests, monitor auction items, handle food, and escort wish families.  

For some events, we allow middle and high school students volunteer with tasks that do not require handling financial transactions or wish families. 

Do you give to United Way?  Help invest your contribution!

Each year, United Way of Amarillo & Canyon engages dozens of citizens from across its community service area of Potter and Randall Counties to serve as Impact Volunteers.  These dedicated advocates assist United Way in the strategic investment of the annual campaign fund, a significant financial support for programs and services in Amarillo and Canyon addressing critical needs within United Way’s impact areas of Education, Income, and Health, and Basic Needs.

Based on their interest and experience, Impact Council Volunteers work in teams known as Impact Councils aligned to one of United Way’s focus areas to review and evaluate funding proposals for programs and services.  New Impact Volunteers are invited to attend an annual appreciation and information luncheon to learn about United Way and the overall Impact process.

We continue to serve our senior population who are experiencing food insecurity and those of any age affected by COVID-19.

Duties of board members include:

You have a BIG opportunity in front of you – to not only impact a child’s life today, but to transform their potential for tomorrow.

 We are always looking for people eager to positively impact a child and improve their community at the same time. And, right now is no different. Big Brothers and Big Sisters are in high demand. For a few hours, a couple times a month, you can give a child the invaluable gift of your friendship. By simply changing their perspective of what the world can offer, you can literally start changing their lives.

We have several ways you can help:

Community Based Program:

A match between a child and a mentor that meet one-to-one, at a time that is agreed upon by the mentor and parent/guardian. Typically matches will meet on the weekends or evenings. Community based activities can include but are not limited to, visits to the park, museum or movie theater. The child and mentor must meet a minimum of six hours per month.

School Based Program/High School Bigs

A match between a child and mentor that meet one-to-one during the school day, typically during the child’s lunch period. This particular setting provides additional support systems for our mentors. Site based activities can include but are not limited to, playing sports, arts and crafts or working on homework.

Virtual Based Program:

A match between a child and mentor that meet through virtual means including Zoom, Facetime, Texts, and phone calls. Matches can play online games together, work on homework, and get to know each other.

Kids still need mentors, and it's more important now that it has ever been.  They need you.

Men:

More than 75% of our children waiting for a Big are boys, but only 3 out of every 10 inquiries to volunteer come from men. Research shows that having a positive influence of a Big Brother makes a real difference in a boy’s life. So join the hundreds of volunteers that have given a young person someone to look up to. And learn why so many are

the front steps that most take for granted.
