Traffick Jam's purpose is to teach local high school students how to identify and avoid sex trafficking. Their goal is to prevent our youth from being sold for sexual purposes (trafficked). They work against sex trafficking by training those who work with youth, training parents of youth, and training youth themselves.
Achi is a holistic care management company that lowers healthcare patient expenses by actively engaging people and connecting them to organizations to address the social determinants of health.
Achi's Caching Memories program virtually connects socially isolated or lonely older adults to younger adults providing them with an avenue to reminisce, share their stories, and improve their sense of connection to the world around them. Through weekly enriching conversations, older adults connect with younger adults via phone or computer to build relationships and share stories. The stories shared are captured in a keepsake book for the older adult so they can continue to engage and connect with others as they share it with family, friends, and caregivers
The program runs year-round and does apply to volunteer hours if needed. All program training is virtual and the schedule is flexible and based on individual volunteer availability.
