Certificat De Service Communautaire Initial Facilité

How to get community service certificate

there are so many ways to donate right now whether it's money food personal protective equipment hospitals but not everyone has those things to give and especially right now times are tough for a lot of people so I started looking into ways to donate your time virtually so that you can stay home stay safe but still help out those who need it and if there's any in this video they don't cover please comment below with different organizations you know of where you can volunteer virtually now the first time to talk about are a little bit more of a time commitment but then the last three are just kind of more on your own time a little bit more flexible so there's one organization called Duroc and basically you chat on the phone with an older adult and this is really interesting because they have this as a service all the time but right now with what's happening there's a lot more older adults that might feel even more isolated than normal because they can't have visitors so this is a really cool organization because basically you get paired up with an older adult and you chat on the phone with them they have a couple different levels so you can either do one day per week for an hour for four weeks or twice per week for an hour for four weeks so it's not that much of a time commitment just one or two hours per week per month and I'll include the link to sign up below along with all the volunteer opportunities I talked about I'll put the links in the description below so that it's really easy for you guys to find them now another way to volunteer which is a little bit more time commitment as well is to be a crisis counselor with crisis text line so basically what they do here is it's a 24/7 free service that anyone can text this number if they're struggling in any kind of way and they just need someone to talk to you this is great if you are either a night owl or an early riser because the hours that are most popular tend to be like when most people are asleep so that's where they need the most volunteers and how this one works is you commit to a four hour shift per week until you accumulate 200 hours which is about a year commitment so again this one's more of a commitment but they give you all the training so you don't have to have any prior experience all you have to do is sign up take the training they give you and you'll get you all set up these next three you can do them on your own time there's no strict time command so if you like reading books there is a service called Bookshare and basically you can either choose to scan books or you can proofread PDF documents you can you both if you want this one's really awesome because they help people with a very wide range of disabilities anything from you know vision impairments to learning disabilities so this one is really awesome just in general I mean this runs all the time all these organizations existed before what's happening right now but it's just cool to kind of find out about these and get started now when people are needing it a little bit more another opportunity is translators Without Borders so this is really really cool if you speak another language if you do then basically how this works is they're they upload like documents that doctors or other people that work with Doctors Without Borders might need and so you can translate those for them and so this is a really cool way to help out with an organization that does a lot of good but staying in your house staying safe and helping them do their job better so this next one is really cool it's called be my eyes and basically it's an app you install on your phone and it is meant for people with vision impairments and basically what they do is they can start a video called somebody and as the volunteer you would get basically notified that someone is need some help and is that it needs a video call so you'll answer and basically they just tell you what they need it could range from picking out you know clothes in their closet they need they can't tell what color is the one they want or it could be looking at ingredients label or looking at an expiration date such a different wide range of things so what's cool about this is all you do is you install the app on your phone and then you just wait and you'll get notified if someone needs a video call and basically they send it out and whoever answers at first will be the one to do it so if you don't answer it you don't need to worry because someone else another volunteer will be waiting to take that call now hopefully one of these interests you and you're gonna go sign up again the links to everything are down below and let other people know share this video with anyone you think might be you know having some extra down time right now and could really help out in one of these ways because this is a great time to make use of extra time if you have it and to really give back to those who need it
