Support our Eco-Beneficial and Emergency-Response Initiatives

Helpertunity cares about the well-being of the world and its people, all along the supply-chain and creation-process. Whenever possible; Helpertunity has been working to reuse, repurpose, recycle, replenish, respect, and respond in ways that support sustainable development.

Recycling and Repurposing materials is often a part of Activity Programs as a means for supplying crafting resources on a limited budget.

From designing carnival games to teach kids the value of separating recyclable waste, to sewing and delivering reusable cloth masks to nursing homes in response to the 2020 pandemic; Helpertunity is always happy to connect with volunteers who care in ever-evolving and adaptive ways, and YOU could be the most valuable new person on our volunteer team!

As part of Helpertunity's #Envision2030 Sustainable Development Goals, the charity will begin focusing even more attention on incorporating eco-technologies like solar power generation and water-reducing drip-irrigation into its hands-on nursing-home outreach programs and to reduce the expenses of its home-workspace efforts.

Replenishing and Repurposing through acts of volunteerism - Nursing Home Activity Directors learn how care facility based elders can safely participate in woodworking projects for recreation.

The charity will also be looking to collaborate and support the human potential of women and girls, in the US and in developing countries as well; especially in projects that support our elder and disability empowerment missions.

Teaching how Crafts and Technology fit together - Helpertunity inspires Activty Directors to shart sharing their projects and accomplishments on Facebook and Pinterest at the Annual Training Retreat in 2014.

Helpertunity is already laying the foundation for intergenerational & distanced STEAMM TEAM Sponsorships and Projects; to inspire growth in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math, and Medicine; to add to our existing love of Nature, Historical Cosplay, and Reminiscence as a way to inspire life-long learning!

Nursing Home Activity Staff and Volunteers learned adaptive wood-crafting and recycled-resource crafts activities that are safe and easy to complete with their eldercare patients during the Annual Activity Professionals' Training Retreat in 2014.

Be a Virtual-Visitor or an Online Game-Pal for the Lonely

Be a Virtual-Visitor or an Online Game-Pal for the Lonely

Helpertunity has been busy advocating for more Eldercare Facilities and Supportive Housing Shelters to become WiFi-Enabled and Technology-Equipped; so that more facility clients can connect with distant friends and family.

It has been heartbreaking to see that some residents and clients do not have loved ones or friends, even at a distance, who are able to connect with them online. Volunteers are needed to be "Virtual-Visitors" and "Online Game-Pals" for these disconnected or foster-care elderly and disabled persons.

Volunteer candidates should enjoy playing simple online social games, video-chatting, singing, reading aloud, exercising, or otherwise interacting with and entertaining individual or small groups of elders. Please begin by finding, friending, and sending a message to "Granny-SeeSing ElderJoy" on Facebook and Contact Eileen Callejas at 407-234-4768 or email Eileen@Helpertunity.org to become part of Helpertunity's test-pilot "Virtual-Volunteer-Visitation" project.

Following a video-chat interview, volunteers will be put in contact with a participating facility's Activity Director or Recreation Technology Specialist, who will coordinate scheduling of their clients' online time, and provide assistance as needed.

For the safety of our affiliate facility clients, volunteers who will be visiting privately and using live-online technologies with unrelated elderly, disabled, or homeless persons, may be asked to submit to a background screening before beginning their volunteer service.

Join Helpertunity’s Volunteer Tech Support & Design Team

Great communication, media literacy, and technology tools are essential to the growth and success of every person and organization today. It is possible to show elderly, disabled, and itinerant persons that you care about their needs by using your talents "behind the scenes" to help our organization with the technology that helps them.

Helpertunity greatly appreciates the talents of the technology-savvy heroes who have already supported our efforts! Our online-outreach continues to expand, with upcoming activity'professional's distanced-training and social-media-based volunteer outreach already in development.

The ability of the organization to become sustainable directly impacts the organization's potential to hire such talented individuals in the future. We invite you to volunteer your time to assist our current Drupal Web Development Team.

Or; we invite you to provide live or remote tech support or distance-entertainment support for upcoming Helpertunity Volunteers and Entertainers' scheduled "Video-Visitation Days" via Facebook, Messenger, What's App, and PortalTV - in collaboration with Helpertunity's affiliated Eldercare Facilities in need.

Find and Friend "Granny-SeeSing SilverJoy" on Facebook and please contact Eileen Callejas directly at 407-234-4768 / Eileen@Helpertunity.org to express interest and get more details.

Donate Administrative Service Hours or Be a Volunteer Intern

Helpertunity is an official 501c3 public charity, and therefore is able to accept and oversee volunteers, and unpaid interns, for community service hours. If you are interested in completing service hours by assisting Helpertunity with events, projects, technology support, media design, or administrative tasks, please contact Eileen Callejas directly at 407-234-4768 / Eileen@Helpertunity.org.

Volunteers who serve directly at a local care facility assist Helpertunity and the Activity Staff with a new Candy Making Class

For the safety of our affiliated clients; volunteers who are wishing to assist Helpertunity in direct live or live-online contact with elderly, disabled, itinerant persons, or youth will need to submit to a full background screening, at their own expense, and must complete a liability waiver and media release with the organization, as well as with the facility of participation-interest.

Those wishing to volunteer independently at a nursing home or other care facility will be put in direct contact with a participating Activity Professional, who will schedule and track their volunteer hours directly through that facility, in accordance with the facility's volunteer policies and procedures.
