The big show cannot go on without a backstage crew and Seeds of Caring is no different! Our volunteers make our work of engaging young kids in service, social action and community building go off without a hitch! So, what do you say? Want to help us behind the scenes? Join our Indianapolis Ambassador team today!
Our volunteer opportunities are flexible both schedule-wise and activity-wise. They are posted monthly, but we’d love to know which ones jump out at you most at first glance.
(This one is a critical component of our projects and involves ensuring donations are safely collected in labeled bins, providing donation totals and post-project photos, and delivering items to local nonprofit partners.)
Our registration form includes a 20 minute recorded training and a 3 minute background check. Once completed, your time commitment is flexible (though we do ask that you sign up at least four times per year). Each month, we will share a list of specific Ambassador opportunities and you can choose what best fits your schedule. Typical activities require 1.5 - 3 hours of work and the majority of them can be completed from home.
Absolutely not. We welcome non-parents, grandparents, and ALL community members as ambassadors. But, if you do have kids, they will love helping with some of our behind the scenes tasks!
There’s a ton of variety in what our Ambassadors do! Here are a few examples: Using your porch to collect 200 snack packs that others have assembled and dropping them off to a local food pantry, posting flyers about our projects at play cafés and libraries, sharing our social media posts, taking photos of families and groups of kids completing projects, sharing Seeds of Caring opportunities with your kids’ school or scout troop—and the list goes on!
Yes, please do! Here’s a sample project packet.
We are just getting started in Indianapolis and the first chance to participate in projects will be in April 2023. We’ll be making some limited asks of Ambassadors between now and April but opportunities will increase in April.
You’ll receive a monthly notification through email starting in April 2023.
