CrowdDoing Learning & Development Volunteers Needed/Instructional Design Volunteer Leaders Needed for Nature Counter by CrowdDoing.

 

The framework will synthesize and simplify existing literature on specific health and commerce benefits of specific ""doses"" of nature. The gap between the research and its applications will be filled in by the ""citizen scientists"" involved-a practice that has been used to excellent effect in fields such as astronomy, ornithology, and conservation science. The customizable nature of the App encourages individuals and institutions to experiment with and pilot nature-immersion interventions that are right-sized to their goals. They have the opportunity to test for themselves the degree to which increasing nature ""doses"" for their institution increases productivity and employee wellbeing. Our aim is to co-create nature immersion research by embedding the process of research localization into the piloting process so that each organization ends up with the toolkit of nature immersion capabilities most suited to their needs.

 

 

When organizations get evidence of increased performance, they are likely to make permanent nature-based interventions. For example, a hospital with two divisions could have surgeons in one division get ""flex time"" to be free to spend 50 minutes a day in a local park. (A GPS-enabled application would confirm that they, in fact do spend that amount of time in the park.) After a specified period of time, their medical mistake rate and burn-out rate could be compared with that of the surgeons in the control group. Each organization can choose to utilize research metrics and methods that have the greatest bearings on their needs. Research methods such as Networked Improvement Communities, Context Variation by Design, and Positive Deviance are examples of methodologies that have demonstrated that proof-of-concept experiments can be emulated and customized across a network. Our goal is to help individuals as well as organizations and institutions, by making it easy for them to acquire the health literacy to decide how much time in nature they need to achieve their goals.

Our objective is to eliminate this disconnect between the importance of nature and how nature is treated. Our team of researchers and experienced practitioners believe that this disconnect is so ingrained in societies that it can only change organically, from the bottom up. We believe that when more and more individuals and more and more managers in businesses are helped to experience the positive effects of nature, and then enabled to identify ways to efficiently preserve nature without sacrificing personal and professional gain, then nature will become a more important a factor in decision-making. As individuals and managers become adept at factoring in the importance of nature in their personal and strategic decisions, they will be more likely to embrace the preservation of nature as a goal-one which the global climate change crisis makes all the more important. Eco anxiety can reduce mental wellbeing but eco-immersion combined with collaboration on nature-based solutions that benefit the climate can both improve the mental health of individuals and the resilience of the cities in which they live.

Environmental economist Volunteer Catastrophic Wildfire Prevention
http://preventwildfire.world/

The earth is burning; e.g., USA/California, Brazil, Australia. Regional impacts of wildfires are widespread affecting health, housing, agriculture, biodiversity, and economies. Our post hoc ""pay for damage done"" insurance strategies are woefully inadequate for these rising challenges.

We need to seize the opportunity that is now possible. We think the science has gotten better, and a new inflection point is possible. If we leverage a broader diversity of disciplines with increasing bearing on the intractable challenge of catastrophic wildfire prevention, we can reclaim collective agency. We think that could be possible via increased design science for prevention, mitigation and loss reduction at the landscape and community level.

We plan to develop a year-round alliance of ecosystem partners that can help us transformationally scale catastrophic wildfire risk prevention through better understanding of the opportunities for ""action"" that is preventative and the costs of inaction that these mitigation steps will avoid. We believe that systemic change in wildfire risk reduction is possible and want to speak about the possibility of strategic collaboration to shift the practice of stakeholders at risk so that California does not become increasingly unliveable every year. We believe catastrophic wildfire risk prevention can help us get ahead of the curve counteracting these harms.

CrowdDoing is launching a year-round virtual Global Alliance for Catastrophic Wildfire Prevention with shared values and an open invitation for participation.

Global Alliance for Catastrophic Wildfire Prevention

Shared Principles:

- More reuse of global knowledge regarding how to prevent catastrophic wildfires is necessary.

Mission


CrowdDoing.world believes in the exponential potential of global collaboration to de-risk and develop social innovations and leverage diverse capabilities to realize shared goals. CrowdDoing leverages multiple intervention points and under-utilized capacities to achieve operating leverage for systems change. CrowdDoing is able to achieve this kind of compound leverage for impact across our portfolio areas from homelessness prevention, prevention derivatives, health benefits from spending time in nature, medicinal foods for stress and anxiety, and preventing isolation as a side effect of virtual volunteerism. All of these are anticipatory solutions which allow people to get ahead of their risks of catastrophe. CrowdDoing leverages under-utilized capacities to make it feasible for our solutions to potentially reach the scale of the problems we face together.


What


CrowdDoing works in sustainability, anti-poverty, public health, education, and research. We aim to address UN Sustainable Development Goals and beyond through our social innovation efforts.


CrowdDoing approaches each collective challenge through the lens of operating leverage for systems change via social innovation. This allows us to identify different under-utilized capacities that could make addressing problems in our society more feasible in the future.


At CrowdDoing, each of us adopts a dimension of a larger challenge. We collaborate within our convenient feasibility on this with others. We don’t expect ourselves to have every expertise. We rely on each-other.


We include broad participation by micro-leaders in systemic change through specific social innovations that we can build together.


Why


Service learning focused on social innovation can be efficient simultaneously at achieving impact, and at teaching skills needed in the future. Service learning and skilled volunteering have demonstrably been efficient and effective approaches to helping individuals acquire skills for a VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) world in a diversity of fields-from human resources to engineering to project management to data science.


CrowdDoing aims to scale participation through skilled volunteering and service learning opportunities to help enterprises and institutions foster social innovation. Better mental health, physical health and productivity among employees are among the intrinsic incentives that prompt companies to adopt employee volunteer programs. LearniNng, creating impact, and achieving mental and physical health benefits are intrinsic incentives that prompt employees to participate in volunteering & service learning programs.


Research shows professional development is most effective when hands on through challenging / new projects and experiences.


How


Micro-leadership at CrowdDoing means that while each person adopts a dimension of responsibility for a collective problem in our society, each of us does not take on the worry about the whole. We take on a level of responsibility that is safe for each of us to have comfort in.


Service learning combines learning objectives with community service in order to provide a pragmatic, progressive learning experience while meeting societal needs. Service learning and skilled volunteering helps to bridge skill & social innovation gaps to achieve sustainable development goals.

Opportunity Details

This is our annual Earth Day public event where we bring in local businesses to set up a stand at our Restore to promote themselves and the joint mission of recycling/sustainability/donating because so many people are starting their spring cleaning and don't know what to do with all of their unwanted items. The goals that Habitat has in mind with this event from a business standpoint are to promote our Restore by bringing people to our location, receive lots of donated items to sell and ultimately raise more funds that go towards building homes this summer, build community connections and make people aware of what we are doing here in Anchorage, and to help partner with businesses that we support.

The volunteers role will vary throughout the day. We will need people to help us and our vendors set up and take down the event, we may use some of you to help with our hotdog stand (accompanied by someone with a food handlers license), we may set you up with vendors to help with their needs such as handing out informational flyers, we may use you to direct foot traffic and get people with donated items to the correct vendor, or you may be set up at one of our Habitat stands outside or inside helping employees. We will have lots of guests from the companies who are vendors as well as people attending the event, so overall we just need some extra bodies on our team to help out with whatever may pop up that day. The volunteers can plan for being outside and on their feet for their whole shift.

Warriors’ Path was the first state park in the nation to create a Boundless Playground. This is a special one-of-a-kind playground built by the community… a place where all children and adults of ALL ABILITIES can Play and Learn together. No one has to sit on the sidelines.

The community plays an integral park in maintaining the playground complex for the past 17 years.

The complex includes an area for children ages 2-5, another for ages 5-12, a sand island and the a-“MAZE-ing” interactive area. It has an eight-station interactive Braille Trail, with the theme of C.S. Lewis’ “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.” There is a fully accessible tree house where children can learn about the history of Warriors’ Path State Park and the native wildlife at the park. The playground draws over 165,000 visitors per year.
