Calling all dog lovers! I’m Jessie from Canine Partners of the Rockies, a nonprofit service dog organization in the Denver Metro area. We’re looking for local volunteers to help raise our NEW LITTER OF PUPPIES and some of our 1-year-old dogs! The more pups we can find homes for, the more Coloradans with disabilities we can serve!*The commitment is flexible, starting at 6 months and extending to a year. No prior dog experience is necessary, and if you have other pets that’s perfectly fine!

*What's in it for you?

• Raise a Future Service Dog: Make a difference in someone's life by raising a pup who will become a life-changing service dog for a Coloradan with a disability or communities in distress.
• All Expenses Covered: We provide everything from dog food to vet care, training, and supplies - if you need it, we’ve got you covered.
• Perks Galore: Enjoy free access to sporting event and shows, parties, special gifts, and an awesome community of dog-loving friends!

How it works:

• Being a Puppy Raiser: For around 6 months - 1 year, you’ll give a pup a place to call home and guide them through their training. All the while, you have the support of our professional trainers, organizational staff, volunteer puppy sitters, and a community of fellow puppy raisers!

Who we serve:

• We raise, train, and place highly-skilled service dogs throughout Colorado for mobility assistance (for an individual with a disability) and facility intervention (similar to therapy dogs in schools, hospitals, etc.).
• Our mission is to provide life-changing partnerships that enable Coloradans with disabilities to lead more fulfilling and independent lives.

**Let’s chat about it!**

Ready to make a difference? Shoot me a message here or email me at ~jessie@cpotr.org~! I’m here to answer any questions and walk you through the entire process. You can also ~check out our website~ or ~submit an application here~!

Hi everyone! I’m a dental hygiene student at Concorde Career College of Aurora and I’m offering free dental cleanings to anyone who needs it. I am in need of patients, and these cleanings are 100% free, come with a full set of x rays, free dental supplies (tooth brush, toothpaste, mouthwash, and anything else you might be indicated for), an exam by a dentist, and a polishing with flouride paste.

Space is limited so please message me to book an appointment. You don’t need any insurance or credit cards! All I need to book this appointment is a name and a phone number to confirm the appointment.

If you’d like more information about oral health, what this cleaning includes, or anything else please reach out!! Again, anyone is welcome, whether you haven’t been to the dentist in 1 year or 10.

appointments do run longer since this is a teaching facility. We don’t offer restorative work, fillings, crowns, implants, or extractions. We offer sealants for those who need it.*

Denver area friends, we need volunteer in-home English tutors!The Colorado Refugee English as a Second Language in-home tutoring program has a lot of referrals coming in. We currently don't have enough one-to-one tutors to meet demand.

Some things to know:

• Training is provided.
• Students will be from literacy level up to high beginning--no advanced students.
• Refugee students are mostly from Afghanistan and Democratic Republic of the Congo. There is a possibility that refugees from Ukraine and Cuba will be included in the program soon.
• We have a particular need for tutors who can work with visually impaired language learners.
• Tutors meet in the student's home.
• Currently, all students being referred live in Aurora (central and south/southeast) or Thornton (usually near 88th and Pearl).
• Time commitment is two hours per week of student contact time/minimum of six months. Background check is required.
• Training is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, February 11, depending on how many people sign up.
• Anyone who is interested should send an email to esl.volunteers@emilygriffith.edu . I can also answer questions here.

Edited to include additional clarifying information.

I am a second year dental hygiene student at your local community college in Denver and am seeking patients for dental cleanings. We can use the help no matter what your oral health status, but are currently in greater need for those who have poor hygiene, have not had a professional cleaning in more than two years or have been told they need a deep cleaning or "SRP".

No insurance necessary and anyone is welcome.

Please contact me via direct message for more info or to make an appointment.

Do you like horses or have an interest in working with them? Do you enjoy making a difference in other people's lives? If so, we have a great volunteer opportunity for you!

Hello from the Temple Grandin Equine Center! We are a CSU operated non-profit providing Equine Assisted Therapies to people with special needs of all ages and abilities. Our facility is located at the National Western Complex in Denver. We are excited to move into our new facility on the CSU SPUR campus next January!

We are looking for volunteers to assist with our equine assisted physical and occupational therapy sessions. Sessions are an hour long and our volunteers work hands-on with our horses and clients as horse leaders or side walkers. Horse leaders take direction from therapists on leading horses, while side walkers walk next to the client, assisting with balance and ensuring a safe and fun lesson. Horse experience is a plus, but not a requirement- we will teach you what you need to know!

We are open Monday-Friday from 9-5. If you'd like to join our team of volunteers, please contact Debbie.mogor@colostate.edu

We look forward to meeting you!

Hey! I'm seeking volunteers to come in for a teeth cleaning at the hygiene school on Lowry campus in Denver where I will be graduating at the end of this spring semester. If you dont have dental insurance or have been told you need a deep cleaning and it will cost hundreds of $, come see me! The most you will pay for a deep cleaning with me is $90 (less depending on how much build up you have).

I will also be needing ONE patient for my clinical board exam, this patient will be compensated in cash and all services done for free.

Thanks so much for reading and I hope to hear from you soon :)

Hail and Well Met, Travelers!

We are the League of Wayfinders: a Denver-based, before-and-after-school enrichment program, taking kids on a Hero's Journey of self discovery. We incorporate education, empathy building, and critical thinking into a rich pen-and-paper role playing game experience. We are currently seeking volunteers to run weekly games for the upcoming Fall semester, as well as join our community West Marches game, where all of our teachers and volunteers come together to share stories and roll some dice.

School programs are run Monday through Friday throughout the school year, and only require a time commitment of an hour or two each week. We supply dice, pencils, paper, etc, so all you need to do is run a great game for the kids. It's a lot of fun, and great practice for anyone who wants to become a better dungeon master and storyteller.

Game Info:

Our burgeoning West Marches campaign is played multiple times weekly IRL in-and-around downtown Denver, CO, USA. Whether you are a curious novice or a grizzled veteran, we'd love for you to help us grow our community so we can all enjoy the game and improve our role-playing skills.

We are an inclusive community, welcoming to people (ages 18+) of all colors, nationalities, faiths, and identities, so long as you're excited about playing D&D and making friends who feel the same. If you're a Denver local who is interested in volunteering and playing with us, please fill out the short form here and we will be in touch. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments here.

Any hours and any days, it's not an issue. Believe me I know what its like to work and pay for day care and I am very understanding of that. Meaning that I am competitive with pricing.

Like someone did for me with my children. If you would like to talk more please hit the contact button above. I look forward to talking with you and your little one.

We desperately need one or two more people to be actors in an adventure story that teams will be working their way through. Locations are scattered around metro Denver, all you have to do is help wayward space travelers along their journey. No special training needed, just a good attitude and a desire to do something really different with your Saturday (2:00pm-9:00pm). There are multiple locations that start and end at different times. You won't be expected to be in a spot for longer than 4 hours and you'll get to walk away with a really cool token for helping.

I am putting together a scavenger hunt May 14 to raise money so that bisexuals and pansexuals have better representation. We make up 52% of the LGBTQIA+ community but last year there was 0 representation.

Biphobia and bi erasure is a serious problem in the LGBTQIAA+ community and it leaves a lot of bisexuals feeling excluded from the people who are supposed to be celebrating who they are and fighting alongside us for our rights.

I need help with checking people in, helping at certain stops of the scavenger hunt, and other odds and ends.

Let me know if you are interested in either attending or volunteering.

I am currently homeless and overwhelmed. I could use a helping hand. Someone willing to donate their money for a week in a hotel. I found a cheap nightly rate of $45 - a grand total of $315. I just need a roof over my head and 24/7 access to Wi-Fi so I can job hunt like a monster. You would forever be my hero. I'm new to being homeless and thus far it isn't fun.

If someone is willing to put me up tonight through next Saturday this is the link to the deal I found: https://www.priceline.com/smartphone/home.do?plf=PCLN#hotel_details_pane do NOT contact me with unsolicited

We are the Consumer Protection Coalition located right here in Denver. We have a new set of Directors and are looking to re-brand and re-design our website.

Hi all,

ArtReach is a non-profit organization and this year’s ArtReach Festival of Trees will be the first in ten years. We'll be holding it at 6300 W. Colfax in Lakewood from November 25rd through December 13. It’s going to be a delightful 2-week event which will feature dozens of artist-decorated Christmas trees covering a hundred years of American history and Christmas design in new and unique ways. The proceeds from the Festival will support our organization’s mission to provide access to the arts to the underserved and at-risk populations in our community.

We're looking for people to help us with this event - to be greeters, help on the Festival floor, and with some special events. If you're interested, please send me a message and I can send you more information.

Hey guys,

About 2 months ago, a friend of mine (a recent college grad) moved out here to Denver looking for work in the Non-Profit field. After trying again and again, she is still having trouble making connections and landing an opportunity in this industry. I, being in the software industry, don't have many business relationships in that area. But I was wondering if any of you had any connections in the Non-profit field and were willing to pass that along. PM me if you know of anything/anyone.

Many Thanks.

(She's interested in some sort of philanthropic corporation. In the past she's worked for a few companies like Big Brothers Big Sisters, American Red Cross, Muscular Dystrophy Association, etc.)
