Our streaming-media Web site and chief project, The Archaeology Channel (www.archaeologychannel.org), launched 18 years ago, has become one of the world’s most popular Web sites relating to archaeology and the human cultural heritage, with annual traffic exceeding one million page views. We now have rebuilt TAC as an even more attractive, content-filled, dynamic, and interactive platform for our programming, services and information. A closely-related spinoff of TAC is The Archaeology Channel International Film Festival, produced each spring at The Shedd Institute in downtown Eugene, Oregon. TAC Festival is the only juried international film competition for our genre in the Western Hemisphere and attracts participation from all over the world. In 2010, ALI launched its first cable TV programming distributed over a growing nationwide network of stations. ALI has numerous opportunities for unlimited growth as an Internet media and public outreach organization and needs to expand its volunteer work force in order to take advantage of these opportunities. Some of our volunteers may become our employees, depending upon their productivity and effectiveness. Hourly Commitment: At least 5-10 hours per week. Job Purpose: Work with our Executive Director to get our message and image out to the public through publicity via all available Internet and media channels in order to effectively raise public awareness of who we are, what we do and why they should care. Description: Because of its long history, its accumulated experience and vast worldwide network and its ambitious vision, ALI is destined to become an influential participant in the world of media. However, until recently we were seriously understaffed, which means that our people were focused mostly on content development and distribution, fund-raising and other essential work and weren’t able to devote adequate time to informing the public about our activities and accomplishments. Now we have developed a publicity team concentrating specifically on publicity and translating our mission-related activities, programs and prospects into exciting messages regularly transmitted to the public through a wide variety of modes and channels. Here is your chance to help build and secure the promotional base of a dynamic and growing enterprise. Your help here will have a direct impact on ALI's productivity and ability to pursue its public mission. The experience you gain will be directly transferable to other technical positions you may seek in the future. Key Responsibilities: The Publicity Specialist will work with our Executive Director to develop and distribute news content about us and our programs through our Facebook, Pinterest, Tumblr, Google+, and Twitter pages, ArchaeoSeek (own own social media site), YouTube, our newsletter, TAC itself, press releases, listservs, and other outlets. The Publicity Specialist will help create a publicity program designed to excite the public about ALI and what we do and to grow in impact and effectiveness as time passes. Requirements: This job requires people who have strong interest and ability in media and events promotion and publicity. We are looking for people with knowledge in these or related areas, like advertising and marketing. We expect some measure of on-the-job learning and training, but we want to find people who can take us to the next level of competence and productivity as we move further into the world of digital media delivery.

The mission of A Family For Every Child’s Mentor Program is to bring enthusiastic, dedicated, and caring adult members of our community and unite them with youth in foster care. Mentors help foster youth develop confidence, independence, and everyday life skills. Furthermore, mentors provide friendship, encouragement, and support foster youth through the various transitions in their lives. Under the supervision of the Program Director, mentors will be a stable adult and a continuous source of support to a foster child. Mentors act as a positive role model, as foster youth need positive relationships with adults with whom they can learn and grow. Mentors are a source of happiness--mentors can bring a lot of joy into a child’s life. Applicants must be at least 21 years of age, pass a background check, and provide weekly check-ins. Applicants must be able to commit to at least one year of 10 hours per month (2.5 hours per week) of one on one time with a youth. Schedules are arranged with the youth and parent/foster parent and can be flexible.

AFFEC's Family Preservation Program is an intervention and prevention program that is both culturally responsive and community-based. Through this program, parents and their children/youth become empowered to create positive and long term changes for their families. AFFEC's Family Preservation Program utilizes mutual support (the giving and getting of help). Parent mentors lead by example to achieve personal growth, improve family functioning, and achieve parental and child/youth resilience. Work with families to bring about constructive change through support, guidance, instruction and training. The ultimate goal is to maintain children safely at home in order to spare them the trauma of separation. Family Mentor/Family matches are based on the needs expressed by the family, so each family is able to determine the kind of mentor they need. We work with families as a team to see to it that the family is provided services and training (e.g., job training, job search assistance, housing, anger management training, and respite care). There is monthly reporting and interaction with all the members of the team. Qualitative outcomes we seek include strengthening parent-child attachment, at risk families and others marginalized by the system. The Parent Mentor Team is made up of clinical staff, case managers and Parent Mentor who provide individual and group treatment to parents, their children and other family members. Services are provided in the family's home as well as in community settings. At present, the Family Preservation program is generally available only in Lane County, Oregon because of budget and resource limitations.

Though Certified Ombudsmen must be professional, impartial and fair in pursuit of their mission, they are first and foremost resident advocates and will approach every problem from this essential perspective. Certified Ombudsmen commit to spending a minimum of four hours a week on their ombudsman responsibilities. Volunteers must complete a six-day certification training and attend sixteen hours of continuing education annually. A one-year minimum commitment is requested.

Reading Matters. In Lane County, students aren’t meeting important reading benchmarks, which significantly impacts their likelihood of graduating from high school. That’s why SMART Reading mobilizes community volunteers to read with thousands of kids and ensure they have the books and reading support they need to succeed. Help your community’s kids realize their full potential through reading. Site Coordinators are key to SMART’s success. During the school year, Site Coordinators spend 2-8 hours per week providing program oversight during reading sessions, acting as a key point of contact at our schools, and creating a welcoming, organized environment for our Reading Volunteers and students.

Literacy Is Important. In Lane County, more than half of students aren’t meeting important reading benchmarks, which significantly impacts their likelihood of graduating from high school. IRC brings together children and adults to encourage and support children’s literacy and academic development. Through weekly reading instruction, volunteers help ensure K-3 students stay on track to reach important reading benchmarks by third grade, while building a positive behavior culture with students. Volunteers are needed in Cottage Grove and Creswell for two hours each week to support in K-3 grade classrooms, help lesson plan, read with kids one-on-one and in small groups, and provide assistance with children’s specific educational needs. IRC is modeled after the Baltimore School District Experience Corps, which regularly reports better test scores among their students, fewer behavior issues, and a happier and healthier community of older adult volunteers.
