RBC Science Department

Since 1993, Red Bank Catholic has been maintaining and monitoring a Nest box trail at Dorbrook Park in Colts Neck. All data collected is entered into a National database at Cornell University. In recent years, the RBC engineering students has designed and built the bird houses which through the spring and summer allow cavity nesting birds like Bluebirds, tree swallows and house wrens.

Once a year student, faculty and alumni volunteers  gather at the trail to overhaul the existing houses, replace those beyond repair and prepare for the migration of these birds.

 

Special Olympics - Swimming

My name is Karen Shearly and I am the coach of the SONJ Torpedos.  We are a Special Olympics swim team that practices at the RWJ Fitness and Wellness Center in Gateway Plaza in Old Bridge (off of Ernston Road).   I currently have 21 swimmers.  We practice weekly on Sundays from 5pm – 6pm and compete in 3 swim meets during the season, which runs from January 6, 2019 to June 9, 2019.

I am currently looking for volunteers to help with the practices and the swim meets.  The only requirements is that the students have to be 15+ years old, be able to swim and have the ability to work with Autistic and Down Syndrome athletes.  All of my athletes are decent swimmers and none have behavioral problems.   The rewards for both the athletes and the volunteers are numerous.

I am asking if you can get the word out to your students to see if anyone would be interested.  You can have them contact me directly at 732-925-7715 or via email, kswim61@optonline.net.

If you need more information, please feel free to give me a call.

United Methodist Communities

United Methodist Communities is located at 9 Wall Street, Red Bank  would like to continue to bridge the gap between our senior and younger generations.  Our seniors here at the Wesleyan always enjoy youth of all ages coming in to perform or present to them.    Music is always appreciated,  it could be singing, the playing of instruments, a short skit from a play, etc.   We also are always open to ideas that you may suggest.    The students can volunteer on their own if they would like and get community service.   I am hoping we can set something up with RBC for the upcoming holiday season and set aside a date on our calendar for RBC.  Looking forward to working with you and bridging the gap, as our seniors would enjoy this extremely.

 

RallyCap Sports

At RallyCap Sports we believe people with special needs should be able to play sports, just like everyone else. We provide recreational sports specifically designed for children and young adults with special needs.

Our program runs year-round, with multiple sports in every season. We are always in need of volunteers who can come match up one-on-one with our participants. Each sport season is typically between 6-8 weeks long, one hour once a week (typically weekends). You would match up one-on-one with a participant with special needs and become their “RallyPal” for the season. We do volunteer training to help ensure everyone feels comfortable before their first time volunteering. We, of course, validate community service hours. 

RallyCap is all about making new friends, learning how to be healthy, and having fun! Come match up with a young person with special needs and have a blast – it will be rewarding and you will leave with a smile on your face!

Contact Jessica for more information: 732-391-2282 or cnj@rallycapsports.org

The Homework Club is an after school tutoring program for 2nd and 3rd graders staffed completely by high school volunteers. The sessions are Mondays at the Red Bank Primary School at 3:15 and finish up about 4:15.  Primary School students who join Homework Club are selected by their teachers and are generally the ones that not only need help with school work, but need a role model in their young lives. No tutoring experience is needed and there are only a few easy to follow guidelines. It is a fun and truly rewarding experience for all volunteers and the students form an immediate bond with the volunteers, resulting in a desire to do better in school. Volunteers feel a sense of accomplishment for making a positive difference in a child's life.  Anyone interested in volunteering should contact Mrs. Caroline Dwyer at: dwyerc@rbb.k12.nj.us or (732) 977-5622
