Volunteer Opportunities Of The Week: Financial Literacy Mentors

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — Each week, Patch will be highlighting volunteer opportunities in the Hudson Valley. This will be a chance to help your community and be an opportunity to give back — perhaps in a way you didn't consider before.

This week we are putting the spotlight on some opportunities in the Hudson Valley.

Volunteer New York! signature event
Civic Minded: MLK Day Interactive Webinar
In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Volunteer New York! Is hosting an interactive webinar to demonstrate how every action—big or small—contributes to societal change. Volunteers will feel empowered and gain practical tips on how to get involved in causes they're passionate about. Suitable for ages 13+.
Date: 1/18 from 10-11 a.m.
Organization: Volunteer New York!
Location: Virtual

Ossining Family Night
Family Night is an evening event at Neighbors Link's Ossining center that gives families a chance to eat together and meet other families in the community. Volunteers help serve dinner and then enjoy the meal with everyone. After the meal, depending on the activity for the evening, volunteers will either play with the children while their parents participate in a workshop, or take part in a large group activity or game.
Date: 1/14 from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Organization: Neighbors Link
Location: Ossining

Tool Maintenance at Muscoot Farm
Volunteers are needed to help clean and maintain the tools that are used every week in the parks! No experience is necessary and this project will occur indoors. Suitable for ages 14+.
Date: 1/15 from 10 a.m.-1 p.m.; registration ends on 1/14
Organization: Westchester Parks Foundation
Location: Katonah

Donate a Trailer Space
Able Athletics looking for a volunteer who is willing to donate space to park its 7-foot-long equipment trailer in the White Plains or Elmsford area. The organization currently uses a storage unit in White Plains that holds all of its programs' adaptive equipment and wheelchairs. Its events take place in Bedford. Unfortunately, its trailer is currently parked in a donated space that is very far from both the storage unit and the event location. This is a perfect opportunity for a local business or resident with extra space on their property.
Date: Flexible schedule
Organization: Able Athletics
Location: Throughout White Plains/Elmsford
