Help with one of our Wish List Projects
We’d like help with many of the projects we’re working on or would like to work on. You can help out! Contact us if you’re interested in helping with any of these.
Community Incubator: We’ll help community groups and nonprofits get started – for example, teaching organizations how to recruit and manage interns effectively, raise funds, and build a board of directors. How you can help: Offer expertise or experience community groups would find useful; help with coordination; let us know if you’d be interested in help with your idea or organization.
Barter Boards: We’re posting bulletin boards in concentrated communities in Davis so people can share their services with each other. How you can help: Get your community interested in a barter board.
Davis People’s Free School: The Davis People’s Free School has, in the past, coordinated free classes by Davisites. We’d like to adopt the Free School and start it up again. How you can help: Event planning; offer to teach a skill
Nonprofit Networking: A monthly gathering of nonprofits and community groups in Davis to share ideas and information, and network with each other. We’d need a place for the event, and ideally an organization that could offer lunch. How you can help: Event planning; suggest places that would be interested in hosting
Volunteer Edible Gardening (VEG) Team: Our previous VEG Team organized volunteers to give people free vegetable gardens in Davis. We’d like to start up the team again. We’d need a few people with gardening expertise, and a lot of volunteers to help create the gardens. How you can help: Offer garden expertise/advice to people who want gardens; help at the garden work day.
Davis Free Market: Coordinate a once-a-month Free Market where anyone can bring things to give away. We’d need a place to host the event (preferably for free), and help promoting the event. How you can help: Event planning, publicity and marketing
Maker Collective: We’d like to coordinate a regular get-together for makers, crafters, and hackers to work on cool projects together. We’d need a dedicated space and supplies. How you can help: Help coordinate; donate supplies; let us know if you would want to be a member.
Cooperative Living Workshops: We’d like to offer workshops on how to set up a cooperative household in Davis – there are lots of people who want to live in a co-op house, but don’t know how to start one. We’d need a few people with good co-op experience, and a few other volunteers. How you can help: Share your co-op experience; event planning
Crop Swap: People with gardens come together once a week to swap fruit and vegetables with each other. How you can help: Help us coordinate; let us know if you have a garden and would be interested in participating.
