In celebration of Day 3 of National Volunteer Week, I’m hoping you’ll find in the list of ten below, an opportunity that’s perfect for you. Just click on the title of a particular opportunity that interests you, and you’ll be able to view the detailed role description from Idealist.org:

#1 Creative Project Manager: For artists & creative types like Amanda

Amanda May is our newest creative project manager. She has a background in photography and graphic design, and currently works as a fashion photo retoucher in New York City. While searching for info about Eckhart Tolle’s A New Earth, she found Oprah’s site which links to VolunteerMatch, where she just happened to find us. Coincidence? I think not. Right now, she’s working on several amazingly creative ideas to transform the stories of children in Tanzania into interesting products that you’re going to crave.

#2 Accountant/Auditor: For human calculators

#3 Social Media Strategist, #4 Social Networkers & Web 2.0 Fiends or #5 Web 2.0 Designer: For web 2.0 junkies

#6 Local Chapter Heads: For social fireflies like Emily

Emily Morrow-Fick is one of our chapter heads in Canada. She is currently a student and previously volunteered with Sanjay and Stacey in Tanzania in 2007. In her own words, “I had the pleasure of working with Sanjay and Stacey in Tanzania. [Gee, thanks, Emily!] Their enthusiasm has been contagious and now I am so excited to be working with Epic Change here in Canada. As a student, there are so many opportunities open to me to make change happen. Epic Change is doing great things in Africa right now, and I’m proud to be a part of that. I can’t wait to go back to Tanzania and see all the amazing changes that Epic Change has been able to fund at Shepherd’s Junior.” Emily’s currently working on planning a huge sale of consignment clothes, a poker tournament and a band performance at a local club. Like them, she rocks!

#7 Kids to Create Epic Change: For kids like Zoe

#8 International Volunteers: For adventurers like Eoin

Eoin’s a photographer and graphic designer who traveled to Tanzania last year and, during his trip, taught a photography class to some of the children at Shepherds Junior. He also donated two digital cameras and a solar charger that the children are now using to take photos that will be used for greeting cards and postcards. Later this year, Eoin plans to publish a book of his photos from his trip to Arusha and a portion of the proceeds will be dedicated to Epic Change.

#9 PR & Marketing God(dess): For spin doctors

#10 10-Minute Volunteers: For those with more passion than time

Even if you’ve only got 10 minutes a week, I’m hoping you’ll commit to volunteer them with Epic Change. Just leave a comment below, email me at stacey@epicchange.org or call my cell (415.630.0631) with the role in which you’re interested – or pass this post to a friend who might be looking for a way to make a difference. Of course, if you’re the type who prefers to color outside the lines (aren’t we all, really?), and you’ve got a great idea for how to use your unique talents in support of Epic Change, let us know; we love new ideas!

Just yesterday, a musician named Lauren Hayworth reached out to me with an offer to write music for our YouTube videos, a need which we had, but certainly hadn’t conceptualized. Her effervescent song of hope & optimism, Look Up, is already featured on our video of Gideon. You can check out the video here, and, if you’re in the mood to feel totally inspired, listen to Lauren’s song:

In short, we need YOU, in whatever brilliant capacity you’re able, to contribute the most valuable thing you have to offer – your time – to this effort. I so look forward to working with you!
