<![CDATA[ The Cleantech Open is the world's largest cleantech business competition. We work in six cleantech sectors: Energy Efficiency, Air Water & Waste, Renewable Energy, Smart Power, Transportation and Green Building. Through our one-of-a-kind business competition and mentorship program, the Cleantech Open has helped hundreds of clean technology startups bring their breakthrough ideas to fruition. Since our start in 2006, our contestant companies have been awarded $4m in cash and services, raised over $150 million in private equity and created more than 500 jobs in the cleantech sector. Last year we expanded to the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Northwest regions, this year we're adding the North Central and we’re expanding our presence in Southern California.   Fueled by a network of over 400 volunteers and sponsors, the Cleantech Open unites the public and private sectors in a shared vision for making America's cleantech sector a thriving economic engine. Past alumni successes include Adura Technologies, Cool Earth Solar, EcoFactor, Enverity, Federspiel Controls, GreenVolts, GroundSource GeoThermal, Hydrovolts, Lucid Design Group, Mission Motors, Nila Lighting, and Syncromatics.   We are looking for volunteers in the LA area to help drive contestant recruitment, manage our mentors and partners, drive our university outreach programs and execute our marketing programs and LA area events.   Build your experience and network by volunteering and help find, foster and fund the best ideas and brightest minds in clean tech.

<![CDATA[I'm interested in stories from people with skin issues and I'm giving away a limited number of Sunsoul UV protection $80 shirts and $45 hats in return for the stories I post on my site. Visit my site at <a href="http://www.sunscreenwear.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.sunscreenwear.com</a> for more details and judge for yourself. I've also put lots of videos on YouTube, too. Just go to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/sunscreenwear" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/sunscreenwear</a> Have you heard of Sunsoul? The company appeared in 2007 and they make a very unique, fluorescent fabric that provides UV protection and "heals" (improves) many skin conditions. I was skeptical as hell when I first heard about it but I was won over after talking to enough people who wore the clothing. The reason I'm doing this is because we're all told to use sunscreen and apply it constantly throughout the day. But the EWG (environmental working group) have proved that using chemical sunscreens is slowly poisoning us. So I'm telling everyone that will listen to stop using sunscreen and start using sunblock and high-UPF (ultra-violet protection factor) clothing. I know it sounds like a mantra, but really, I believe that UV clothing that "screens" AND improves acne, rosacea, melanoma, vitilgo, discoloration, sun cancer and a few other conditions has got to be a godsend compared to using chemical sunscreen. It's not important who you buy it from, I just hope you have a moment to think about what I'm saying. What are your thoughts? I'd really like to get some feedback. Thanks, <a href="http://www.sunscreenwear.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.sunscreenwear.com</a>]]>

<![CDATA[Hi guys, I have a great International volunteering program that can be done on a long weekend. This is truly a life saver and very close to my heart. This is a true WIN-WIN-WIN situation. My great friend Sheri Grace from high school has been struggling with breast cancer for almost a year now. I had not seen her for nearly thirty years but when we touched bases and she found out what I do, she found an amazing reason to live. Sheri told me she wants to travel the world and help people. I promised her that if she goes through the hell of Chemo and gets better, that I will bring her with me and we will volunteer together. I want to do better than just promising her "IF and WHEN". I have been promising a great man in Mexico that I would come back and help him put in a computer learning center to help teach very poor children computer skills and English. I want to put this computer center in and put Sheri's name on the door. If Sheri knows there is a place where children are learning that has her name on the door, she will fight to get better. This could very realistically save Sheri's life. Please go see a one minute video I have prepared. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl8CU9s80YE" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl8CU9s80YE</a> YOU WILL WIN THE KIDS WILL WIN SHERI WILL WIN]]>

<![CDATA[Pink Apple is looking for qualified and creative interns in various industries or focuses including nutrition, journalism, marketing, and public relations for the company's three divisions: web/online, iPhone application and literary publishing. Created by the co-author of New York Times Bestseller, Skinny Bitch - Pink Apple is a lifestyle company that strives to educate women and consumers on the things they are putting into and on their bodies in a fun, entertaining, humorous format. The company is driven by the Skinny Bitch empire and a daily email feed called HealthyBitchDaily.com, which offers daily tools and resources on living a healthy, socially conscious lifestyle. The company headquarters is located in Beverly Hills, California (90035), and houses three full-time employees. We are looking for interns with minimal experience or educational focus in any of the following fields: nutrition, marketing/PR, or journalism (writing/copy editing). The internship is very hands-on, so students should exude leadership skills and be willing to work directly with brand partners, clients, and the founders and editorial team on new projects. We work in a very comfortable environment so interns will not be expected to dress in professional apparel (casual ware is ideal). Each intern will be expected to put in at least 10 to 12 hours per week, though only 6 hours will be required in-office. If you are interested, please email info@healthybitchdaily.com with a cover letter and/or resume. Thank you!]]>

<![CDATA[Hi. I have started a company that primarily focuses on teaching dance classes to local preschool, elementary and parochial schools on a weekly basis. I am building my resume and am offering exactly 3 schools the opportunity to have our company come teach a 4-week session of dance at their school, absolutely free! Yes FREE! What you get is someone who has experience working with children as a choreographer and mentor working at your school, once a week for four weeks. Classes are held in the afternoon on a Monday, Tues, or Friday for 45 minutes. The classes will teach a mixture of jazz, modern, and hip-hop. At the end of the four week period, there is an option of using the last class as a sort of mini-recital (but the school would be responsible for all props and costumes). There are no rainy days and no rescheduling is allowed. This is a limited offer, for 3 schools only. If your school is accepted, all I ask is that I be able to use the video footage for my promotional materials and use the school as a reference on my brochures. The option of continuing the relationship after the 4 weeks can be discussed, but all standard charges/fees for dance lessons will apply. Offer is subject to cancellation at any time. Please respond to this e-mail, and I will forward you my phone number as well as website information (sorry, in the past I have received way too much Spam to insert in here). ]]>

<![CDATA[These inmates and many more wrote to us to ask for a Christian to disciple them. Some of them are saved but don’t have any other Christians around them. Others have questions about God and the Bible. And still others are just lonely. * James P- Has been in prison since 1978. He didn’t give much information, but he signed his letter “In Christ.” * James D - Was raised in a Christian household, but childhood trauma led him to violence, Satanism, and witchcraft He rededicated his life to the Lord in prison. He is serving life without parole and wrote that he would "like to correspond with a fellow believer." He signed his letter "Your brother in Christ." * Paul R - An African-American Christian. We don’t know much about him. He is helping a friend in England start a U.S. prison ministry. Very friendly and easy to write to! * Rey - A 35-year old from Santa Fe. He wrote, “I’m not a religious man, but I believe there has to be more than this life. I try to keep an open mind.” He has never read the Bible, but would like to. He is reading a book about Mary Magdelene. We need someone to witness to him! * Peter - 35-years old. Not saved. Wrote that he was hesitant to respond, but he is "ready to hear a new voice." Has been in the Pelican Bay SHU (=isolation) since he was 24. * Floyd - A 24-year old who is looking for "spiritual support." He has been in prison since age 16! He wrote, “Being incarcerated since age 16 is stressful and it’s taken its toll on me.” * Mauro - A Christian lifer who is not part of any denomination. There are 10 other Christians on his yard, but they don’t see each other much because they are always on lockdown. He wrote, “I really hope to hear from someone I can fellowship with.” Write to Matthew25.36Ministries@yahoo.com and let us know how many inmates you would like to write to and we will send you their name and address. Tell us a little about your walk! Volunteers - Please keep in contact with us! We are spending too much time following up with the volunteers.

<![CDATA[Volunteers needed to administer Master’s thesis surveys. I’m a graduate student working on my thesis related to bicycle usage in Los Angeles’ Metro rail system. As such, I need volunteers that have a few spare hours on weekdays that can administer surveys. Specifically, my thesis is on the factors that influence egress of bike-and-ride trips—or why do cyclists choose to use or not use their bikes when they get to the destination end of their trip? I’m hoping that my findings will help Metro become a friendlier place for bicycles and the community as a whole. Volunteers will be positioned at various Metro rail stations throughout the county and will ask cyclists to take a few minutes of their time to complete a survey. Spanish speaking volunteers are a plus. So are those who have prior survey experience. However, everyone will be considered for this early-April survey. Please respond via email for more details, and I appreciate your time.]]>

"Ayur" in Sanskrit means "life" and "Veda" means "science". It is a perfect Science of health and longevity. This holistic science is the knowledge of complete balance of the body, mind and spirit, including the emotions and psychology, on all levels. It includes in its consideration, longevity, rejuvenation and self-realization therapies through herbs, diet, exercise, yoga, massage, aromas, tantras, mantras, and meditation. According to Ayurvedic tradition, health is the balance of elements air, earth, fire, and water, and illness is an excess or deficiency of any particular element. Ayurveda treats illness at its source, rather than at the level of symptoms, and helps an individual to take responsibility for their own health and well being. Ayurveda is also known as 'Ashtanga Veda' (the word literally means 'Eight branches of knowledge') as it is divided into eight specialized branches. Yoga is a complete science of life that originated in India several thousands of years ago. It is the oldest system of personal development in the world, encompassing the entire body, mind and spirit. It is the union between a person's own consciousness and the universal consciousness. The classical techniques of Yoga date back more than 5,000 years. The word Yoga means "to join or yoke together," and it brings the body and mind together into one harmonious experience. The volunteers will be learning the Basics of Yoga and Ayurveda in these three weeks of the project. Every day, there will be topics covered by a professional master (the person in charge of yoga and ayurveda classes), which will be practiced by the volunteers. Yoga will be practiced every day. Apart from this, the volunteers will also help at the herbal garden and the nearby school. Furthermore, the volunteers will support a local school in need of simple renovation work. The volunteers will also interact with the children teaching them basic English and Mathematics, Health and Hygiene awareness, environmental protection, etc. For more details visit: <a href="http://www.cadip.org/volunteer-in-india.htm" rel="nofollow">www.cadip.org/volunteer-in-india.htm</a> or give us a call: 617-502-0400 (US); 604-628-7400 (Canada) This project is part of <a href="http://cadip.org" rel="nofollow">CADIP</a>'s International Volunteer Program: <a href="http://www.cadip.org/workcamps.htm" rel="nofollow">www.cadip.org/workcamps.htm</a>]]>

They are called "companions". The community provides them with a place where they can live and work. It is a place where people live together in a spirit of solidarity. Some companions live there temporarily while going trough a tough phase in life and the community supports them towards social reinsertion; others see life in the community as an alternative way of life. There are 3 founding principles in all Emmaus Communities: welcoming people (everybody whatever their origin and their past); working, which is seen as fundamental for a sound life and as the way to reinsertion and reconstruction of self esteem; sharing is the third pillar of life in the community. The group of volunteers (max 7 participants) will share the life and activities of the companions, organised around the collecting, fixing and selling of second-hand articles in the community shops. The volunteers will be associated to the daily tasks carried out all year round by the companions. Work from Tuesday to Saturday, days off on Sunday and Monday.

<![CDATA[Well....not really, but if you love dogs but it’s not a good time to adopt one, fostering a dog is a win-win situation! Foster a dog and helps us save more lives! We provide you with medical care and supplies as needed (many fosters already have leashes, bowls, etc.). All you need to give the pooch is love and proper care. By having our dogs fostered, it helps their adoptions far more successful because we can learn more about the dog’s personality and health conditions. We’ll also show you how to train them. We ask the following from our fosters: 1. You are not away from home more than 4-5 hours/day at a time (if you work, you can come home during lunch break). 2. You can transport the dog to/from adoption events at Centinela Feed in Mar Vista minimum three Saturdays/month. If absolutely necessary, we can arrange alternate transportation. 3. It would be a plus if you have some experience with dogs, but you don’t need to have dogs of your own. 4. We do not know how long it may take for any dog to get adopted, so we’d appreciate it if you can make a long-term commitment. When you go out of town, we will pay for kenneling fees. For information on our organization, go to <a href="http://www.FARescue.org." rel="nofollow">http://www.FARescue.org.</a> If you are interested in fostering our dogs, please send an e-mail, and we will send you a foster questionnaire, so that it will help us select a best match for your lifestyle. We look forward to hearing from you!  ]]>

Forte Animal Rescue is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to finding solutions for the problem of pet overpopulation through its educational activities, adoption efforts, and outreach program. We need help at our Saturday Adoptions We hold our adoptions at Centinela Feed and Pet Supplies in Mar Vista. We especially need help for setup and tear-down. This consists of crate handling, transportation for the dogs, tent, table and crate setup. The adoption setup begins at noon, and tear-down begins at 3:30 pm. You can come for the setup, the tear down, or stay all day with our cute pooches. There are usually beverages and snacks, so it's like picnic and fun to "hang out"! We need foster homes If you can foster or know anybody that can, please let us know! For the dogs boarded at the kennel, it's no different from sitting behind bars in their jail cells. By having our dogs fostered, we get to know about the dogs far better than when the dog is kenneled. By being fostered, we can make sure that the dog is potty-trained, and dogs learn commands and how to walk on the leash. All of these make the dog's adoption far more successful. Forte Animal Rescue provides medical care and supplies if needed (many fosters already have leashes, bowls, etc.). We need dog walkers for the dogs boarded at our vet We usually have a few dogs boarded at our vet in west LA. It's on Sepulveda and La Grange, North of Olympic and South of Santa Monica Blvd. Though the vet techs take the dogs out for bathroom breaks, they don't get the real walks, and dogs get cooped up without such outings.

<![CDATA[<a href="http://www.youthmentoring.org" rel="nofollow">Youth Mentoring Connection</a> has a 10-year history of delivering worksite- and community-based mentoring programs serving "at-risk" youth throughout Los Angeles. Our mentoring programs are relationship-based - through developing a trusting relationship with a caring, consistent adult, our youth are able to develop more trust and esteem in themselves. We provide the structure and support to help mentoring matches succeed. Mentors and mentees meet twice a month, for nine months, on a set calendar. One meeting each month is a "Group" session, where all mentor-mentee pairs meet together for facilitated group activities to build trust, community, relationship skills, and life skills. The other session each month is a "One-on-One," where mentors and mentees go off to do activities of their own choosing (dinner, movie, ball game, etc.) We are gearing up for our Children’s Hospital program, which will begin March 23. This program serves at-risk youth ages 10-15 in Northeast L.A. and meets every other Tuesday evening, 5:30-7:30 pm, at Rio de Los Angeles Park. This program is a 9 month commitment. For program calendars, please visit our <a href="http://www.youthmentoring.org/10vol.html" rel="nofollow">Volunteer Page</a>. Staff provide extensive training and support to mentors - our goal is to be there for you so you can be there for our youth! No special skills are required, just the desire to help a young person reach his or her full potential. Mentors should be age 21 or over, and own or have regular access to a vehicle. We ask that mentors be able to keep their commitment to their mentee through attending the scheduled group and one-on-one sessions, and making one phone or email contact in the off weeks. We ask mentors to show up, role model participation, be genuine, and be themselves. We conduct an interview, background check, and mentor training to ensure the safety of our youth, and to prepare mentors for what to expect. From there - the rest of the magic happens on its own through the mentoring process! Interested? Please email Sarah Schreiber, Program Coordinator, at sarah@youthmentoring.org, or call us at 323-731-8080 x111.
