Join Our Team

As an Event Team volunteer, you will attend C.A.S.T. events to help with set up, take down, tabling and executing events.

• You will help manage our community drop-off stations, organize and record inventory and drop-off donations to our partner organizations. 

• We ask that Event Team volunteers commit to 4 events a year (approximately 2-3 hours per event).

Ambassadors help C.A.S.T. build relationships with businesses, schools, rotaries, community groups, individuals, and more.

• Learn, on a deeper level, about each of the programs we offer.

• Help us bring these programs to our community (schools, businesses, faith-based communities, community groups, friends, and others).

• Work with C.A.S.T. staff to set up times to connect with groups in the community and explore ways C.A.S.T. can collaborate. (Either by advocating for our programs or inviting neighbors to participate in our fundraisers.)

• We ask Ambassadors to commit to at least 2-5 hours per month.

As an Organization Builder you can:

• Recording data from Pre and Post Surveys (from our Power Over Predators presentations and community engagements)

• Take inventory of donated goods from C.A.S.T.’s Material Donation Drives

• Helping to create surveys and systems for data collection

As a Presenter, you will be trained in our Power Over Predators curriculum, master the material and present to middle and high school students as well as community members. This is our most intensive volunteer opportunity, and we are looking for volunteers who are available during school hours and/or evenings.

• Speakers must be 18 years or older, self-motivated to stay fresh on the content materials and pass a background check

• Can train to present 1 or multiple of the 5 lessons (approx. 40-80 hours of training to master all 5 lessons, then approx. 5-10 hours of presenting per month).

As an Assistant, you will be in the classroom supporting Power Over Predators presenters, handing out materials to students, facilitating activities, and being available if middle and high school students need a safe adult to speak to. POP Assistants will be trained on how to listen and appropriately respond if a student discloses exploitation and how to safely connect students to resources and support. This is our one of our most intensive volunteer opportunity, and we are looking for volunteers who are available during school hours and/or evenings.

• Assistants must be 18 years or older, emotionally able to handle difficult conversations, and must be able to pass a background check.

• We ask that Assistants commit to the 5 hours of training and half or full day in school (2-8 hours) depending on number of presentations scheduled.

C.A.S.T. has a variety of research needs and opportunities. We would love to find what most energizes you! Here are a few of our needs but we are happy to explore other areas of research with you too:

• Looking up the most recent statistics and resources that can help our community prevent exploitation.

• Critically review books, movies, podcasts, and additional resources (that C.A.S.T. may want to recommend.)

• Research different businesses that would be interested in supporting a nonprofit like C.A.S.T.

This volunteer position is the most flexible, and can be done fully remote. C.A.S.T. will work on a schedule or goal with the volunteer.
