CDCA Volunteer Opportunities

in the United States...

Volunteer opportunities in the U.S. are a little more limited for us. Frankly, we have had a hard time getting all this organized...hey! That's something you could do: organize volunteers up there!

You can promote giving and loaning funds to The Vida Fund... our most urgent need right now getting Genesis, the Spinning Plant Cooperative, on its feet.

If you can collect stuff for us, or have access to resources for medicines, tools, school and office supplies, or othUnloading sewing cooperative machineser items that are useful here, please let us know via email.

Show our DVD in your home, workplace, church or organization. Write us for a copy of the DVD and a booklet of stories to help raise awareness of what it means to be poor in Nicaragua.

If you are connected to a college campus, launch and support the Cheese Pizza Fund.  Start with your own interests groups and spread it throughout campus.  It is a great way for students who don't have a lot of money to participate!

We also need people who will pass along creative fund-raising ideas to their friends and church / civic groups.

Occasionally we have special tasks that require us to call for help (like needing a specific information or locating some kind of equipment).  Read our current newsletter online, become a fan of the Center for Development in Central America on facebook, and subscribe to our blog to stay informed on current needs and possibilities.  Join the Stone Soup cause on our Facebook page.

If you would like to participate in the Friends of CDCA, a U.S. based support group, you are needed.

If you are interested in any of this, let us know what and we'll give you more information and hold you close to our hearts! We hope to hear from you and thank you for being interested in this work. We always need all the help we can get!
