Volunteer Opportunity: Bring Joy Through Simple Companionship

 Federal Way, WA 98003

 In-Person or Virtual (Phone/Grand Pad) Options Available

We’re seeking a compassionate volunteer to connect with a lovely elderly individual who is alert, oriented, and full of quiet charm. She enjoys reading, spending time with animals, and playing games on her phone.

Her greatest wish? A kind soul to sit and chat with. She lives with limited social connection, and your companionship could make her day brighter and her world a little warmer.

She would also be delighted with a visit from a furry friend. While she understands that dogs are more common visitors, she'd be overjoyed if a cat could come along—her favorite!

Whether you're up for an in-person visit or prefer a virtual connection, your presence can make a real impact.

Volunteer: Tool Manager

As a non-profit, it's extra important we take good care of the tools of our trade - shovels, mattocks, loppers, hand trimmers, etc. - so they can last longer, avoiding unnecessary replacement costs. Will you help us with this essential task? A Tool Manager is needed to thoroughly clean off all the tools after work parties (can sometimes get a bit muddy!), safely store them in between work parties, and transport them to and from work parties. The ideal Tool Manager has:

a good place and materials for tool-cleaning (a hose at minimum, brushes can be provided), a secure and weather-proof garage, shed, or barn to store them in, a vehicle that can easily transport all of them (pickup truck or van would be best), and a few hours a month and some elbow grease to spare. It's a relatively small time commitment with a BIG impact.

Volunteer: Help New Parents - Become a PEPS Group Leader!

PEPS is a non-profit organization that connects parents to strengthen families and build community through parent peer-support groups. 

PEPS groups meet weekly and are facilitated by a PEPS-trained Leader. Each meeting allows parents the opportunity to share the week's concerns, successes, issues, and joys as well as time for a discussion on topics related to parenting and children (sleeping, feeding, adjusting to parenthood, etc.) The PEPS program model is based on the 5 Protective Factors from Strengthening Families, which help build resilient families, positive connections and support for parents, and reduce negative outcomes, such as abuse and neglect. 

98% of PEPS groups are facilitated by volunteers who are deeply rooted in our community and passionate about supporting new parents through the first critical months of life with a new baby. Over 4000 families rely on PEPS volunteers each year.

PEPS facilitators are compassionate, empathetic, resourceful, and real. They don't have all the answers, but they are passionate about helping parents, generating ideas, finding information, and building neighborhood communities together.

Some leaders give back as a way of honoring their own PEPS experience. Many are new to PEPS. All tell us they find great joy and satisfaction in helping new parents connect and share through their PEPS groups.

We appreciate warm, sensitive communicators, who are accepting of varied child-rearing practices and diverse lifestyles. Interest in early childhood development, experience in education or facilitation, previous PEPS group participation, or being a parent yourself are welcome pluses.

Groups meet for 2 hrs each week in the daytime [10-:30 - 12:30] or in the Evening [6:30 - 8:30], the same day each week for 12 weeks. Leaders commit to working with their group for 12 consecutive weeks, fewer if you choose to co-lead with a friend, spouse, partner, or colleague. PEPS provides specialized training and group leaders have access to experienced PEPS staff mentorship and a wealth of resources online.

We currently offer virtual, in-person and hybrid groups to families. Groups that start virtually will remain virtual for the entirety of the group. To stay up to date with developments, visit our COVID-19 news page - https://www.peps.org/about/news/covid-19-peps-updates

It’s our job to help you have a wonderful, fun, and rewarding experience as a leader. We’ve designed lots of resources and provide training and support all along the way.
