The first weekly cause I'll highlight is the Smithsonian Institution digital volunteer program. With science and knowledge being attacked and defunded on all fronts recently, these sorts of programs are more important than ever. Instead of doom scrolling, you can try to invest your time in more proactive ways and it doesn't cost a cent. Whether you prefer transcribing hand written notes, hunting down the sources of pictures, translating existing articles, or editing related Wikipedia pages, there's a little something for everyone to sink their teeth into. I've personally really liked the challenge of transcribing and I like that it's a communal effort so I never feel too defeated if I get stuck. Hope this helps to brighten your day!

If anyone’s interested in helping out with the recovery for Hurricane Debby, please consider volunteering with Nechema. It’s a Jewish organization but you don’t need to be Jewish to join, and it’s entirely virtual.

From an email I received, lightly edited for clarity:

Due to the risk of flash floods and storm surges, disaster assessments have been slower than usual. NECHAMA has been asked to help identify areas of need in Florida through Crisis Cleanup, a nonprofit disaster work order management platform that utilizes volunteer resources from registered agencies. This vital task ensures several key objectives:

- Victims can report damage and get enlisted to receive services.

- The extent of the storm damage can be further analyzed.

- Local emergency managers know where to send immediate aid.

This volunteer opportunity is completely virtual and will allow you to make a significant contribution to our hurricane response from the comfort of your home. NECHAMA will host a virtual training call for this opportunity on Thursday, August 8 at 6:30 PM Central/7:30 PM Eastern.

Welcome to the ENGin Program!

What is the ENGin Program?

The ENGin Program is a non-profit organization geared towards helping young Ukrainians gain English skills. The organization also aims to establish cross-cultural connections between Ukrainians and people in other countries across the globe. Through English fluency and culture literacy, ENGin wants to connect Ukraine to the world.

How does the program work?

ENGin pairs young Ukrainians with English-speaking volunteers. In weekly virtual sessions, these Ukrainians practice their English and share and learn from different cultures. These sessions are free of charge and available to Ukrainians age 9-35.

How does ENGin support Ukraine during the war?

When the war is over, Ukraine will need to rebuild itself from the ground up. This rebuilding can only happen through investment from foreign companies and international organizations. But for this to be possible, more Ukrainians need to learn to communicate confidently in English. And, in a time when Russia is trying to isolate Ukraine from the rest of the world, it's more important than ever for Ukrainians to connect with people worldwide.

By giving free English lessons through people of countless different backgrounds, ENGin hopes to create a generation of English-fluent, culturally competent young Ukrainians to rebuild their homeland.

Does the ENGin Program work?

The numbers speak for themselves!

As of 2022, ENGin has served 16,350 Ukrainians. In the next five years, the program hopes to reach its goal of 100,000 students.

93% of ENGin students see significant progress within three months of enrollment. As for the volunteers, 95% of them are happy with their student match!

How do I get involved with ENGin?

It's easy! Just go to the volunteer tab on our home page. Becoming a volunteer is an incredibly easy process. ENGin only has three requirements for applicants:

Must be fluent in English.

Must be 13 or older.

Must be able to commit to at least one hour of sessions per week. If you want to volunteer more hours, we can accommodate that!

Volunteer today and make a difference in a young Ukrainian's life!
