Buffalo is recruiting volunteers for Doors Open Buffalo, taking place
on June 15, 2019. Doors Open Buffalo is a day of free public access into
downtown Buffalo’s most architecturally
and historically significant buildings. Based
on Doors Open events in other cities like Baltimore and Pittsburgh, we
are expecting up to 15,000 people to visit the 35 buildings
on tour.
We will need hundreds of volunteers to staff this event. Volunteer duties include greeting and counting visitors, distributing event guides, and providing directions and a basic history of your assigned building.
Volunteer shifts are 3 hours long, starting no earlier than 8:30 am and ending no later than 5:30 pm so there’s plenty of time to enjoy the reset of the event before or after your shift. Volunteers are encouraged to sign up with friends and family. You do not have to be an Explore Buffalo volunteer to participate. Please register via the following link. Once signed up you’ll receive a confirmation email. Explore Buffalo will be back in touch no later than May 17 with volunteer training dates and no later than June 7 with your building and shift assignment. https://explorebuffalo.org/doors-open-buffalo/

AAUW,
the American Association of University Women, is a national
organization advocating for equity and education for women and girls.
Locally, the Buffalo
branch – sixth oldest branch in the country—provides scholarship and
interest-free loans for women and men.
The branch will host its thirteenth anniversary
Tech Savvy conference on Saturday,
March
16, at the University at Buffalo North (Amherst) campus.
Tech Savvy inspires middle school girls to pursue careers in STEM
(science, engineering, technology, and math) areas through fun
workshops. The
on a roll program provides follow-through sessions for high
school girls. And, adult sessions feature topics for parents, teachers,
and other adults. This year’s theme is
She Inspires, I Inspire, We Inspire!
Tech Savvy Buffalo is the flagship program for the national Tech Savvy program, with dozens of sites nationwide since 2014.
Along
with support from AAUW, the conference is made possible due to support
from Praxair and UB’s School of Engineering & Applied Sciences.
The program is run by approximately
100+ volunteers. Volunteers are needed to help with set up, registration, room monitoring, ushering, and snack services. Volunteers are needed for the full conference (7AM – 5pm) or for morning (7 AM – 1pm) or afternoon (noon – 5pm) shifts.
Volunteers
will receive continental breakfast, lunch, and t-shirt. Volunteers are
also invited to the pre-Tech Savvy reception on Friday, March 15.
Recent college graduates (within last two years) who volunteer can receive a complimentary first year national AAUW membership.

Roswell Park is looking for volunteers to assist with running the Buffalo Health Care Exploration this summer. We are especially looking for males but have unfilled positions for both genders. You must currently be in college and preference will be given to applicants who participated in BHE during high school or have worked with Roswell previously.
BHE is a program for high school students who believe they
may want to go to medical school or pursue a science career. The students get
to do activities such as shadow doctors, think of medical instruments, get
college and premedical mentoring, and networking opportunities within Roswell.
It is during the month of July with extra commitments during June for the Ride
for Roswell. If you apply be sure you can commit to being present for the vast
majority of events and all program dates. The days begin at 9 and end at 4pm.
As a TA you would be acting as a mentor and a guide for a team
of students. You would be responsible for transporting them to different
locations, supervision and mentoring. You’ll act as a positive role model and
peer for the students and help them gain the most out of the program.
As a college student you have the opportunity to network
within Roswell with the many talented physicians involved. You will also gain
exposure to the ATLAS interns who work with the urology department on various
research projects. The networking and connections you make can be integral in
gaining an internship at Roswell, gaining access to medical school, or gaining
access to graduate school. You will be working alongside other motivated
students from nearby colleges.
For information please visit the BHE link which can be found
on Roswell Park’s website. https://www.roswellpark.org/education/atlas-program/buffalo-healthcare-exploration
For additional information about BHE, Roswell, or the ATLAS
internship contact

Loyal
Blue Day
is a celebration of UB alumni and friends that make gifts to support students.
The goal is to thank donors and teach students about the ways philanthropy enriches
their education through scholarships, experiential learning, technology,
facility upgrades, etc. Student volunteers are needed for the Loyal Blue Day
stations at the Student Union on North Campus and Harriman Hall on South Campus
from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
All
volunteers will receive a free t-shirt for their 2-hour shift. Volunteers will
simply be asked to recruit students to the Loyal Blue Day table to write thank
you notes to donors. It’s very simple, and it will be a fun atmosphere with
games, prizes and food.
