About Providence:

Providence is a small, vibrant, quirky city in the littlest state of the union. Though its scale and size make it easy to navigate and live in (often giving it a small-town feel), Providence has a rich and diverse culture, with many of the attributes often found in much larger cities. You can drive 20 minutes out of Providence and reach farms and orchards, rivers and ponds for paddling, and wooded state parks for hiking. Bike paths link Providence to many other areas of the state, and a 30–40-minute drive gets you to some of the best beaches and most beautiful coastline in New England. For longer jaunts to bigger cities, Boston is an hour, and New York City is 3 hours away. https://www.visitrhodeisland.com/

Named by CNN as America’s most artsy city, Providence is home to some great institutions and traditions in a number of areas:

* Artistic (Trinity Rep Theater, WaterFire, the RISD Museum, PVDFest, AS22o)

* Academic (Rhode Island School of Design, Brown University, Providence College)

* Cultural (Providence is home to many residents of Central/South American, West African, Southeast Asian, Caribbean, Portuguese, Italian, and Cape Verdean descent, with ethnic heritage festivals, feasts and celebrations all summer long and throughout the city)

* Culinary (Johnson & Wales Culinary School, incredible restaurants, food trucks and farmers markets)

* Urban Agriculture and Local Food (Southside Community Land Trust, Farm Fresh RI)

All applicants will be considered without regards to race, color, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, sex, marital or parental status, disability, gender identity or expression, age, or any other basis prohibited by law.

As an equal opportunity employer, Urban Greens Co-op Market strongly encourages individuals from traditionally underrepresented demographics to apply.

Hello! We are in need of volunteers to help paint the church house. It's a very big house and we can use all the help we can get. We were going to hire a painter but we ended up having a very big electrical problem come up and we had to allocate our funds that way instead. Painting experience is preferred. 

We need help fixing a wall and putting a trim back up. I think that would fall under carpentry. Even if someone came to check it out to see what they could do, that would be a great help to us. Small fixes around the chapel would be great help as well.

Hello! The chapel needs volunteers who are willing to come by regularly to clean. Light cleaning like dusting, sweeping, tidying up areas that need it.

Securing Safe Food (SSF) is a youth-led nonprofit dedicated to combating food insecurity among individuals with food allergies and improving access to allergen-free foods. Born out of the pandemic in 2020, SSF has transformed from a grassroots effort into a national 501(c)(3) partnering with food pantries across the U.S. Our focus goes beyond medical dietary restrictions, recognizing the importance of culturally relevant and sustainable allergen-friendly choices. By prioritizing safe, healthy food for all communities, we reshape the landscape of food accessibility and security.

How You Can Get Involved

Our vision is a world where individuals with medically restricting diets can enjoy meals without compromising their health. Volunteering with SSF is an opportunity to collaborate with anti-hunger organizations, allergy and immunology clinics, and innovative food manufacturers—local and nationwide—to coordinate enhanced access to allergen-free food while reducing food waste. You will witness food delivery that changes norms in our food bank system, as well as gain experience at the intersection of food equity and social impact.

Open volunteer positions involve food pantry coordinating, outreach and medical clinic partnerships, fundraising, food drives, and graphic design. Time commitment is flexible, and engagement opportunities can be virtual or in-person in the local community. 

Food Pantry Coordinators: Build meaningful partnerships with pantry directors, survey visitors for dietary needs, enhance pantry accommodations, and ensure that those with food allergies have access to safe, nutritious options.

Community & Onboarding Outreach: Identify, contact, and meet with prospective partner food pantries, onboard new food pantries, and/or network with local partners, food manufacturers, and potential corporate donors.

Fundraising: Plan and organize exciting events and campaigns that will fuel SSF’s mission to provide allergen-friendly food to those in need (e.g., host a bake sale or benefit night). 

Food Drives: Hold a campus-wide food drive to collect allergen-friendly non-perishables. Explore opportunities with campus dining to label and donate allergen-friendly food to SSF-affiliated food programs. 

Digital Design: Assist in creating engaging and cohesive visual media for SSF’s social platforms, foster brand identity, creatively reflect the SSF mission and its threads across health, sustainability, and food security.

Your work will contribute directly to reshaping the way food banks serve vulnerable populations.

Make a difference by gluing markers that say "Don't Dump - Drains To Bay" to curbs above  storm drains. 2025 project areas will be posted in May!

Change a child's life by becoming a mentor with MENTOR Rhode Island!

Being a mentor is about communicating in a meaningful way. It’s about being yourself, sharing your experience, and your perspective on life. As a mentor, you’ll form a one-to-one relationship with a young person who needs your support and attention. You’ll be a positive role model and a trusted friend. And, as with any friendship, you’ll get a lot out of it, too.

Studies show us that at least 1 in 3 youth will grow up without a mentor. Help us close the mentoring gap for youth in Woonsocket!

Mentoring takes place for one hour per week, on school grounds and during school hours. The Woonsocket mentorship program serves youth in grades k-12 in Woonsocket Public Schools. 

Mentors must complete an application, background check, reference check, and two-hour training to qualify for our program.
