Volunteers needed to help at a fundraising family event and walk for Cure JM.

Cure JM Foundation® is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on finding a cure for Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM) and Juvenile Polymyositis (JPM), the rare and life-threatening autoimmune diseases collectively known as Juvenile Myositis (JM). Approximately 2 to 4 children in a million in the United States are diagnosed with JM each year. Our mission is to find a cure and better treatments for Juvenile Myositis and improve the lives of families affected by JM.

Being a rare disease we are dependent on grass roots fund raising and our Walk Strong to Cure JM program is critical to hitting our goals so we can fund critical research. Our events excel when we have community volunteers.

le Refuge LGBTQIA+ provides support and transitional housing to LGBTQIA+ young adults (ages 18–25) who have been pushed out of their homes because of their gender identity or sexual orientation. We offer a safe place to stay, personalized social and psychological support, and a space where young people can rebuild at their own pace.

We’re looking for volunteers who want to make a difference — by joining collective activities, helping with logistics, accompanying young people to appointments, or taking part in awareness events. Each mission is tailored to your skills, availability, and interests.

Why is this important? Because no one should be left behind for being who they are. Your time and presence can help a young LGBTQIA+ person feel safe, valued, and ready to take their next steps toward autonomy and pride.

According to the World Bank: 2.2 billion people lack access to clean drinking water; 4.2 billion people lack access to safely managed sanitation services (e.g., toilets); 3 billion people lack access to basic hand-washing facilities; and 1 billion people lack access to critical resources like healthcare, education, or employment due to an impassable river.

Engineers in Action seeks to alleviate the poverty caused by these issues. We do this by leveraging the resources of our global partners to engage underserved communities and their governments to implement life-changing water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) projects and the bridges needed to access them. This simultaneously provides solutions to poverty and builds local capacity to maintain those solutions for generations to come.
Since 2008, EIA has empowered thousands of volunteers from 50+ universities and companies to become global-changemakers by building over 250 WASH and bridge projects alongside underserved communities in 13 countries, connecting over 250,000 people to clean water and other essential resources. In addition to the life-changing projects we help our local stakeholders execute, our volunteers receive the opportunity to meaningfully apply their talents and experience under challenging conditions, taking on key roles in the design and construction of rural infrastructure projects. Beyond gaining skills in technical design and project management, volunteers practice teamwork, leadership, and cross-cultural competency. They grow into better leaders, collaborators, communicators, empathizers, adaptors, and problem-solvers who continue to help build a better world for years to come. Join us!
