Our mission at Arlington Neighborhood Village (ANV) is to enable seniors to continue living in their own homes as they age—safely, independently, and with an enhanced quality of life. ANV’s trained and vetted volunteers provide direct services to our members to help them age in place, and to reduce isolation and foster a sense of connection with the community.

Right now, ANV has a pressing need for drivers—our members need transportation to medical appointments, physical therapy, the grocery store, and more. About 1/3 of our members use a mobility device (like a walker or cane), or have some vision or hearing loss. Ensuring that these members have a safe, convenient and supportive mode of transportation for appointments and errands is a top priority for ANV. So we need you!

The loss of freedom for seniors who can no longer drive is more than a hassle—it’s frustrating, sad, and isolating. ANV’s volunteer drivers give seniors the gift of a ride—and connection. Being a transportation volunteer is a wonderful opportunity to not only help an ANV member get where they need to go, but to make a connection, get to know someone new, and provide a friendly interaction to someone who could really use it.

ANV primarily needs drivers with availability weekdays during business hours. Drivers must be 21 and pass a background and driving record check. Training and support are provided.  Please go to ANV's website  to learn more.

Here's a testimonial from a long-time ANV driver:

"I come from a family that treasures helping others and as I am growing older and now retired, I was searching for a way to give back to my community. Someone I knew who was also involved with Arlington Neighborhood Village, suggested I become a volunteer driver. I also volunteer in the office. I find the structure of ANV very conducive to my schedule—I can pick and choose what I want to do and when I want to do it. I have made many new friends driving and the conversations are always interesting. Many social activities and special outings are offered by ANV and I have made many new friends in these events also. ANV gives me great satisfaction in knowing that I am helping others and keeping active in the wider community. It makes Arlington feel like a small town."

Wright to Read (WTR) is looking for caring, dedicated adults to become tutor-mentors in Alexandria! WTR has served the Alexandria community for over 45 years. We strive to continue to provide essential tutoring and mentoring services to Alexandria families at no cost to our families.

We are here to support children on their reading journey with books, resources, and a vibrant reading community while also facilitating mentoring relationships though elementary and beyond. We offer enrichment activities to help foster the connections between students, volunteers, and families across the program. Learn more about the program and what makes us unique here: https://www.campagnacenter.org/program/wright-to-read/

Wright to Read has two models through which we serve our students:

·         In our Flagship Model, tutoring typically occurs at the public library or another public location. The tutor-mentor works directly with the student’s family to schedule tutoring sessions after school or on the weekends, once a week for an hour, and sessions may change days or times as needed.

We ask that our volunteers work with our students for at least a year once assigned/matched (although many relationships last longer). If you think your circumstances (e.g., living in the Alexandria area, work or family responsibilities may prohibit you from continuing, etc.) may change in the next 1-2 years, contact us about other opportunities or programs that may be a better fit, such as acting as a substitute tutor-mentor.

This program requires volunteers to attend training (provided online) as well as undergo a background screening that may take up to 2-4 weeks to complete. Please reach out to us as soon as possible to receive an estimated timeframe on when you will be assigned to a student.
