Anti-Eviction Mapping ProjectThe Anti-Eviction Mapping Project is looking for volunteers to help with research to feed our map of eviction moratoriums in the wake of COVID. We need help figuring out policy date extensions and expirations in particular. We also could use help with a number of other AEMP projects that involve frontend development and data pipeline skills, for instance tools to make eviction and landlord data more accessible to tenants. We could also use help with Spanish translation for our website. We can take up to 10 volunteers. Contact Erin McElroy |

Columbia Middle SchoolI teach a group of students at Columbia Middle School who struggle in school and need inspiration. Our intervention/engagement program is called STRIVE. Please email a 1-2 minute video of your inspiring message. How did you move past academic and personal struggles? What did it take to learn English as a second language? How did you rally after a bad test/class? How does someone stay focused on school when a family member is sick? Any number of videos are welcomed. Stories should be told in under two minutes but multiple videos may be submitted. Please give your first name in the video. No communication will happen between parties after a thank you and confirmation that the video may be shared. Contact Albert Gonzales |

We are hoping to reach volunteers who are interested in teaching art workshops (art practice, art history, music, etc.), as well as volunteers who would like to join our outreach or marketing and design team. The time commitment will be determined by the volunteer and their goals for involvement. Contact Helena Zhang or Kevin Jung |

Meg FoundationTwenty five percent of the adults (and at least 50% of adolescents and 63% of children) have enough needle anxiety to influence their health care decisions, including getting the COVID-19 vaccine. To reach herd immunity, we need to empower these people with the tools and strategies to get it, despite the fear. We are launching a major social and media and marketing campaign called HackTheVax, including a website to go live at the end of March called hackthevax.org. The Meg Foundation needs students to help us with creating social media content, writing content, video creation and editing, and pitching the free resources to local, state, and national organizations that that can put them to good use.

ATLAS, Sequoia High SchoolSequoia High School needs a talented person or small team to create a fresh website for the volunteer/intern/community-engagement department of our public high school. This website will help us better connect with our local families, companies, community volunteers, and college students to engage them in one-time and long-term unpaid opportunities at our high school. The focus of the site will be on volunteer/education intern recruitment and background info on the school (evergreen), but we'd love for it to be nimble enough to include pages with timely information about changing volunteer needs and requirements (e.g. COVID) and also student and family needs that could be resolved through an in-kind donation system. We'd need you to train us on how to update the website when you leave (and therefore need to use a website platform that is easy to update quickly and easily). We can supply you with the text and photos. You would provide the good eye for clean design and functionality, and also be a good marketing copyeditor to help shorten text so that it really sings. We're excited about this project and eager to work on it... but will need you to also be a friendly leader/manager who guides us with the project timeline so that things get DONE!

Common DenominatorCommon Denominator provides individualized 1:1 math tutoring and mentorship to in-need middle school students. We developed a fundamentals-based curriculum that is tailored to address each student's particular areas of weakness. We are seeking to create a community of math curriculum developers that could help us to improve the effectiveness of our program. We are looking for a student(s) that would spearhead outreach to professors at Stanford and collect input on program advancement. Ideal candidates would have a passion for math and/or education. Interested students should reach out to both Trey and Angela. |

Survivors of Torture, International
Search Engine Optimization
Survivors of Torture, International is a small nonprofit serving asylum-seeking and refugee torture survivors. Our website is currently very low on the Google search pages and we could use support with our SEO, creating content/blogs to boost our website value, and using Google Analytics. The lack of SEO is impacting our client referrals and donations. We would welcome 1-2 volunteers with experience in websites, SEO, Google Analytics, or content writing. The project could be as short or as long-term as the student desired.
