<![CDATA[ The Developmental Neuroimaging Laboratory at the UCSD Center for Human Development is conducting cutting-edge research into the relationship between brain development and social behavior. Our current studies examine how children develop their extraordinary abilities to process socially relevant information when viewing other people’s faces. To do this, we examine your child’s brain activity while s/he is viewing pictures or movies of faces and other objects in an MRI scanner. Safety is our highest priority and we have designed our procedures so that the MRI scanner is safe for your child. We conduct all of our studies at the UCSD Center for Functional MRI, a world-renowned research facility for brain imaging research. We need your child’s help for our research studies. We are seeking healthy, 6-12 year old children and 13-16 year old teens to be participants in our studies. Qualified volunteers will be paid for their participation in our research studies. Your child can make an important contribution to our understanding about normal brain development and how people interact and communicate in society. Your child’s contributions may also help us understand conditions where problems in social interactions may arise, such as in autism and other developmental disorders. Please contact Jarnet at 858-822-4953 or email at jarnet@ucsd.edu to receive more information and to volunteer as a research participant.

Think of the qualities of a great city - fun, space, clean air, nature, culture - and Reykjavik has them in spades. It has the features of a modern, forward-looking society which are complemented by a close connection to beautiful nature. The population of the Reykjavik Capital Area is about 200,000. Reykjavik is spread across a peninsula with a panoramic view of the mountains and the Atlantic Ocean on almost all sides. In the summer, you can sit by the harbour at midnight and watch the sun dip slightly below the horizon before it makes its way up again. The world’s northernmost capital is framed by the majestic Mt.

<![CDATA[ <table><tr><td> <a href="http://www.cadip.org/volunteer-in-indonesia.htm" rel="nofollow"> <h2>Educational and therapeutic activities for disabled students in Semarang</h2></a> May 8 - May 21, 2010 The international volunteers will be introduced to the education activities of the disabled students related with Indonesian culture and customs in general. The role of the volunteers will be assisting local teachers in classes like teaching basic conversation in English, helping teachers in giving training on physical activities of the disabled students like making simple handicrafts, playing, doing simple sport etc. The volunteers' influence on students is expected to create a sense of knowledge of other realities of the disabled kids and other cultures in a way that improves their own perception of themselves and what they can achieve. Also to open the mind of international volunteers that the disabled students also need attention to face their future. It will also give opportunity for the international volunteers about the treatment that should be done by the families of disabled children. The School for Disabled SLB Semarang was founded in 2005 with the aim to cater for the needs of disabled children and youth in Semarang and the surrounding areas. It is mainly funded by the Central Java department of health and closely cooperates with the statutory health services and the Faculty of Medicine of the Diponegoro University. We would like to host foreign volunteers because we believe that their interaction with the children, during education and vocational classes and other therapeutic activities will be of great benefit as our students have little or no chances to meet and live with people from other cultures. The intercultural dimension that their presence will generate will also be welcomed and valued by the local staffs. The support that the volunteers will give to our teaching staff , particularly those teaching English, will be invaluable.

Think of the qualities of a great city - fun, space, clean air, nature, culture - and Reykjavik has them in spades. Reykjavik offers both the features of a modern and innovative society and the marvelous traits of a unique natural landscape. The population of the Capital Area is about 200,000. It is spread across a peninsula offering a panoramic view of the mountains and the Atlantic Ocean from nearly every part of the city. In the summer, you can sit by the harbor at midnight and watch the sun dip slightly below the horizon before it makes its way up again. All around the world photographers are participating in photo marathons. A photo marathon is a competition, where the photographers are given certain topics to interpret within a time limit. This is a socio-cultural event that aims to promote the art of photography and bring together people with all kind of background and knowledge in that field. Any one with an interest in photography can take part - beginners and experienced photographers. The international volunteer team will help organizing this event. Following the photo Marathon, an exhibition will be opened with the most interesting photos. We will help with the preparation of the Photo Marathon, hand out brochures and posters and help with the promotion of the activities. We will than help the participants during the Marathon and afterwards prepare the photo exhibition. A short course in photography will be offered to the volunteers, where they will have the opportunity to improve their skills to capture their memories in an unforgettable way. We will learn how to think about landscape photography from capture to finished image, your ability to create dramatic compositions will become more effortless and you'll learn about what might be holding you back from reaching your full potential as a photographer. The project will be leaded by an experienced photographer. We will also do some environmental work in the area during the project, for example cleaning the coastline and working in the green areas. </td><td> <a href="http://cadip.org/volunteer-in-iceland.htm" rel="nofollow"> <img src="http://www.cadip.org/camps/volunteer-iceland-35.jpg"> </a> </td><tr><td> Project language: English Age range: 18 and over More information and enrollment: <a href="http://www.cadip.org/volunteer-in-iceland.htm" rel="nofollow"> www.cadip.org/volunteer-in-iceland.htm</a> or give us a call: 617-502-0400 (US); 604-628-7400 (Canada) For volunteer opportunities in other countries please go to: <a href="http://www.cadip.org" rel="nofollow">www.cadip.org <img src="http://www.cadip.org/camps/volunteer-iceland-45.jpg"> </a> ]]>

Want to see the sense of pride in students’ faces as they work harder and achieve at greater levels than they ever thought possible? Want to work with a team of outstanding educators that is successfully narrowing the achievement gap in San Diego’s underserved communities? KIPP Adelante Preparatory Academy, a public charter middle school located in Downtown San Diego, is seeking volunteers with string instrument experience to coach our students in learning to read music and play the violin, viola, cello and bass. All of our 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students participate in our orchestra program under the leadership of Thomas Duncan, our Orchestra Director, and he is in need of volunteers to work one-on-one with students, helping them in learning to read music, play with good posture and position, and improve their playing skills in general. Each year we showcase the hard work of our students at a spring concert at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion in beautiful Balboa Park, where their efforts (and yours!) show that students from any background can learn to express themselves through music. Our school day runs weekdays from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, providing many windows of opportunity for volunteers to help out when it fits into their schedule. If you are in need of volunteer hours for your major, or are just interested in helping our student’s musical abilities blossom by sharing your love and knowledge of music, please contact Mr. Duncan at the email address listed at the top of this post. A little bit about KIPP Adelante Preparatory Academy: The mission of KIPP Adelante Preparatory Academy is to ensure that our students develop the academic skills, intellectual habits, and character traits needed to succeed in top quality high schools, colleges, and the competitive world beyond. KIPP Adelante’s core values are: Respect, Responsibility, Achievement, Constant Learning, and Teamwork. In August 2003, KIPP Adelante opened its doors to 90 fifth-graders from Barrio Logan and surrounding areas of San Diego. The school has expanded one grade level each year and is currently at its full capacity of approximately 340 students in 5th to 8th grade. In 2006, the school was named a California Distinguished School. In 2007, KIPP Adelante was recognized with the National Title I Distinguished Schools Recognition Award for being the one school in California that most narrowed the achievement gap. That same year, the school was also recognized in State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O Connell’s Top 10 Year-End List of Education Accomplishments. KIPP Adelante was recently named by the National Center for Urban School Transformation as a winner of the 2009 National Excellence in Urban Education Award. Thank you for your interest in helping us to develop our student’s musical abilities and appreciation of music in general.

It is located in a dramatic spot, in between rhyolite peaks and the Dyrfjöll Mountains (1136 m). The area is very famous for stories of elves. Locals even believe that the queen of Icelandic Elves lived in the town. Álfaborg (Elf Rock), a small nature reserve is a tourist highlight of the area until now. Close to the town, you can also find the Islet Hafnarhólmi, a puffin colony with 10,000 pairs. Iceland’s best known artist Jóhannes S Kjarval grew up close to Borgarfjörður Eystri and took much of his inspiration from the area. There are many hiking trails in the area.

<![CDATA[Hello- Thank you for taking the time to read my ad. I am looking for someone who could volunteer their time to helping me set up a foundation, I am assuming non-profit, although I do not know much about how all this works to help with the elderly in San Diego. I want to include everything from helping families who deperatly want to keep their elderly loved ones at home but find the finances difficult to manage to making wishes of the elderly come true. I am not saying anything negative about nursing homes but I think the majority of the people I have interviewed would much rather be at home if at all possible. I know I would. This has been a growing concern for families because people are living longer and I believe families panic. I know I did when I was responsible for my grandmother. I could write a book about the experiences I had in just a year that I had to deal with it all until she passed away. From family fighting to just absolutely not knowing if I, not only could do this task that was given to me basically overnight but knowing how to do it without second guessing every move you make, as well as trying to work and live somewhat of a normal life myself. This is not an ad for Hospice, just a group that might be able to provide support and hopefully money to those who really need it. If you can help please email me and I can give you more ideas of what my plans are. Thank you, Gina ]]>

<![CDATA[Thanks to Education Volunteers, the Helen Woodward Animal Center helps both people and animals by educating children about pet responsibility. The volunteer program is both fun and hard work. Applicants must be in 9th – 12th grade. Volunteers need to have some experience and a desire to work with children in PreK – 5th grade. They must be mature, dependable, be able to follow directions, work independently, and display introductory leadership and teamwork skills. The most successful volunteers are committed, enthusiastic and experienced with children. April Critter Camp takes place April 5th-9th for PreK-5th grade. Volunteer shifts are from 8:00-4:00, Monday - Friday. This is a smaller camp; therefore we have more flexibility with scheduling volunteer shifts. It would be great to have volunteers commit to working all five camp days. If that is not a possibility, any day(s) you are available is fine, for this camp only. (Summer camp requires a week-long commitment.) It is important to understand that the volunteer’s job is working with children (not animals). Volunteers do prep work before and after class, clean up, assist with managing children's behavior, and supervise lunch & play time. Volunteers help the teacher with animal lessons, art and games. Volunteers must fill out the application and return to Anna Herrera, Education Supervisor. Applications can be faxed to 858-756-3954. You are not guaranteed a spot as a volunteer until the application has been received and you have been contacted via email or phone to confirm your assignment. If you do not receive confirmation, please contact Anna at 858-756-4117 ext. 372. We also have a Summer Critter Camp which runs June 7 through August 20th. Volunteers must be entering the 9th grade in the Fall of 2010 in order to volunteer. Or if you are a teen entering the 7th or 8th grade, you can sign up for the Critter Camp Leadership Program. Please visit our website at www.animalcenter.org/volunteer to complete the application or call Anna Herrera, Education Supervisor, at (858) 756-4117 ext. 372 with any questions. Thanks!]]>
