Volunteer: Volunteer National Wildlife Refuge AmbassadorJob Summary: Refuge Ambassadors play a crucial role in facilitating meaningful experiences for visitors and the surrounding community. Through their efforts, they promote awareness of important scientific and conservation work that contributes to the protection of wildlife on Maine’s coastal islands. Ambassadors also foster strong emotional connections to those species, which is vital for sustaining the long-term conservation efforts that are needed throughout the Refuge.
Time Commitment: Volunteer Refuge Ambassadors are typically scheduled for one 3-hour shift per week. Seasonal demands allow for additional shifts from late spring through the summer. Please let us know if you cannot commit to a shift every week (or year-round), as we are occasionally able to work with non-standard schedules.
Key Responsibilities: Visitor Engagement: Refuge Ambassadors are the face of the Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge (MCINWR) and often provide the first impression of the Refuge. Successful Ambassadors seek to meet visitors where they are by asking questions and then catering the visitor experience based on the needs and interests of our guests. This can include providing information, answering questions, and facilitating tours of exhibits throughout the facility. Community Engagement: There are opportunities throughout the year for Refuge Ambassadors to engage with the public outside of the Visitor Center. These opportunities allow us to engage with new audiences and increase awareness in the community. Special Events: The Refuge occasionally hosts special events throughout the year and Refuge Ambassadors are encouraged to participate if they are available. Having trained and knowledgeable volunteers available at events significantly increases our ability to provide meaningful and impactful experiences for event guests. Educational Program Assistance: Assist Refuge Educators in the delivery of classes, lectures, workshops, guided tours, and interpretive activities that advance educational objectives of students and educators and in local K-12 schools as well as adults. Exhibit Development: There are opportunities for experienced Refuge Ambassadors to assist in the development of exhibits at the Visitor’s Center that support the Public Engagement objectives of the Refuge. Safety: Ensure the safety of Refuge visitors while touring the Visitor’s Center and throughout all programs and activities. Evaluation: Assist in assessing the effectiveness of Public Engagement exhibits and activities and gather visitors’ feedback to make improvements. Oversight: The Friends of Maine Coastal Islands (FOMCI) is the nonprofit organization that supports the mission of MCINWR and provides coordination and scheduling through FOMCI board members for all volunteers.
Location The Maine Coastal Islands Nation Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center is located at 9 Water Street, Rockland Maine (https://www.fws.gov/refuge/maine-coastal-islands-complex). A second office is located in Milbridge, Maine, but this office typically does not have public programs. The offices and resources for public events created by Friends of Maine Coast Islands (mainecoastislands.org) are located in the Rockland Visitor Center building, and the public spaces are primarily on the ground floor, and an art gallery on the second floor that can be accessed by stairs and elevator. The facility meets universal design (ADA) standards. This is the primary location for all volunteer activities, although there may be opportunities to work with the public in other locations for special events.
Qualifications: No prior experience in conservation science is required, but a basic familiarity with Maine’s coastal wildlife is helpful. Training about Maine’s seabirds and support are provided to all volunteers to ensure they are knowledgeable and comfortable in working with the public. A willingness to learn and share that learning with others.
Equal Opportunity and Non-Discrimination The Friends of Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge does not discriminate in employment and volunteer opportunities on the basis of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy and gender identity), national origin, political affiliation, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, genetic information, age, membership in an employee organization, retaliation, parental status, military service or other non-merit factor.

Volunteer: Center for Grieving Children - Creating Healing Communities - Intercultural ProgramWhen children and teens who have experienced multiple losses rediscover themselves in a safe and peer-supported community, hope and resilience flourish. Since 1997, the Center’s Intercultural Peer Support Program has collaborated with Portland Public Schools and others to serve children, teens, and their families, who have resettled locally from countries experiencing war, persecution, and natural disaster. Above and beyond losses due to the death of loved ones, they also have experienced collective loss—a community-wide devastation that destroys a sense of place, belonging, safety, and group identity. The Intercultural Peer Support Program promotes healing and resilience in the face of complex traumatic stress and loss by increasing social, emotional, and coping skills; fostering a sense of belonging; and renewing hope. When children and teens experience the benefits of peer support, we see a relief of distress, improved sense of well-being, ability to enjoy rewarding friendships, and ability to complete tasks. These benefits contribute to school success. YOU can make a difference in these children’s lives! It requires an open heart, completion of training, and a commitment of about 4 hours a week (groups meet weekday afternoons) from November through May. Please visit www.cgcmaine.org for more information about the Intercultural Peer Support Program. Register for one of our one-hour volunteer info session to learn more by contacting volunteer@cgcmaine.org.

Volunteer: Call for Board MembersAre you looking for a unique leadership opportunity? Have you been hoping to put your talent in the service of a progressive educational organization? Well, look no further! If you are committed to holistic, learner-driven and democratic education, we are looking for you! School Around Us (SAU) is currently recruiting for our board of directors.
School Around Us was founded in 1970 to embody the philosophy of holistic education — the insight that as learners we develop meaning, identity, and purpose through self discovery, relationships, connection to the environment, to our community, and to the spiritual dimension of life. For the last 50 years, SAU has pursued this vision as a small parent-run school for K - 8 students, guided by this mission and powered by the generosity and hard work of our parents, students, and teachers. Now, we are embracing an evolution in how we do this, out of a desire to re-vivify this deep-rooted educational vision in a way that meets today’s world of complex human, societal, technological and political forces. We’ve recently shifted away from our parent-run school model, hired a Director of Programs and have evolved to become a co-learning community that offers full-time, part-time and public programs to homeschooling families in Maine. As a part of this process, we are hoping to revamp our Board and recruit new members to support our first Director of Programs and aid in our continual evolution.
We are seeking a variety of experiences, skills, and perspectives, which could include: Fundraising/Development Alumni Relations + Engagement Nonprofit Governance (i.e. bylaws revision) Strategic Planning Finance/Accounting Legal Architect and landscaping professionals Thought leaders in Democratic/Holistic Education Commitment to/interest in progressive education and/or co-learning communities Experience at School Around Us and/or commitment to its longevity
We are looking for people who will: Attend monthly board meetings Potentially serve on one of our committees (currently in development) which may include: Alumni Relations, Development/Fundraising, Budget/Finance, Renovation, etc. Be able to make a 4-6 hour commitment monthly Advocate for our needs in the community and among your colleagues and peers Make a personal, charitable contribution to SAU, to the best of their ability
Interested in being considered for our board, please contact Cedar Lukacs at cedar@schoolaroundus.org

Volunteer: “One to One” MentorTrekkers created the One to One Program for students who could benefit from one-on-one mentoring from caring adults within their community. Unlike our expedition-based programs, One to One provides the necessary infrastructure for you and a student to meet, connect and build a meaningful relationship by spending time together in the community. Who will be my mentee?We will match you and a student together based upon gender and shared interests and experiences. These commonalities typically serve as a springboard for you and your student to begin a mentoring relationship. What is my role as a One to One mentor?The Trekkers model was built upon the principle that programs don’t change lives, relationships do. Following this philosophy, your main priority as a One to One mentor is to build a relationship with your student. We also ask that you: Be a positive role model. Consistently attend scheduled meetings. Relay progress, concerns and other relevant information to a Trekkers staff member and parent. How much time is required to be a One to One mentor?The amount of time required to be a One to One mentor varies. Some students need support during a crisis while others could benefit greatly from a mentoring relationship for months and, possibly, years. Upon submitting an application, you will meet with a Trekkers staff member to discuss the best meeting times and frequency for your schedule. What about mentor training?In addition to the mentor pre-screening process, you will be required to attend a mentor training before partaking in the program. During this training you’ll learn mentoring basics, have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss your areas of strength and weakness. We also have resources for mentors such as common “Dos and Don’ts,” mentoring activities and more. Throughout your course as a One to One mentor, we would like you to update us frequently, voicing any concerns and asking pertinent questions. What are the benefits of being a One to One mentor?As a One to One mentor, you will play a unique and vital role in your student’s life. Simply by being a supportive and caring presence, you may feel great personal satisfaction.

Volunteer: TutorMany students in the community could use individual academic support during the school year. Like the One to One program, Trekkers views tutoring as an opportunity to provide students a safety-net of support beyond expeditions. You do not need previous tutoring or teaching experience to volunteer as a tutor.
