Opportunities From: VolunteerICT

Having begun as an organization in 1984, Trees for Life has accumulated a lot of old technology. We're looking for an individual or a group of individuals willing to come in a few times a week/hours a day to sort through the tech, see what works, and take what's broken/not needed to be recycled. 

You can use your knowledge of languages to help spread education worldwide!

Teach for Life, an educational branch of Trees for Life, is a worldwide movement of people sharing knowledge about how to help children learn. We are starting with a focus on early childhood education, to build a strong foundation for lifelong learning. We are currently sharing tips and ideas for parents and other “non-formal teachers” on how they can help a young child learn and be ready for school. Brief videos share how they can turn everyday moments into learning opportunities. They are designed to be universal, to make translation easy.

We have opportunities for people to help with translating so more people can benefit. Open to any languages. Current languages most needed: Arabic, French, and Thai.

Together, we can help millions of children around the world. Learn more: Teach for Life Translators

We are located inside a 1938 school building with recurring maintenance needs. Responsibilities include "handy-person" tasks such as changing out florescent light bulbs, fixing door hinges, light plumbing, and maintaining window A/C units. We will pay for any materials needed. This volunteer position has a very flexible schedule. You could be "on call" as needed, or come in on a weekly basis, etc.

This is an opportunity for an individual to pick up the recycling from the Trees for Life office once a week and take it to Pro Kansas Recycling. Time required for each pickup/drop off is approx. 1-2 hours. This position has a very flexible schedule.
