The Treasurer is a key officer of the Board of the Merrick-Moore Community Development Corporation, entrusted with the organization's financial stewardship. This individual is responsible for overseeing all aspects of financial management, budgeting, and reporting, ensuring transparency and accountability. The Treasurer operates in strict compliance with North Carolina (NC) state and federal regulations, safeguarding the fiscal health and integrity of the Merrick-Moore Community Development Corporation.

Skills and Qualifications
• A bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, business administration, or a related field is preferred.
• Demonstrated experience in financial management, budgeting, and reporting, preferably in a nonprofit or public sector setting.
• Knowledge of NC state laws and federal guidelines governing nonprofits.

This is a volunteer position.  Please forward your resume to Bonita Green, info@merrickmoorecdc.org.

These volunteers should feel comfortable tapping into their playful and creative side. The children come to our program right after school, so it’s important that the sessions do not feel like more classroom time. Presenters should design activities that are fun, expressive, relatable, and relevant to what the children are experiencing in their lives, especially as many of them are navigating the challenges of transitional housing.

The goal is to create a safe and inspiring space where children can open up, connect with one another, and explore new ideas and skills that help them imagine possibilities beyond their current circumstances. I am absolutely happy to support volunteers as they get comfortable, but it is important that they bring enthusiasm, creativity, and a genuine willingness to engage with the youth.

Volunteers may participate every Thursday or twice a month based on their schedule, and can work with the 6–12 group, the 13–18 group, or both.

We are looking for volunteer tutors who can support our children and teens (ages 6–18) in subjects like math, reading, and general homework help. Tutors will be placed on a list and may be scheduled 1–2 times per week based on the needs of our program families.

Tutoring sessions will take place in public locations such as the library or Barnes & Noble, where families can comfortably meet. A background check will be required to ensure the safety of our youth and families.

If you enjoy helping young people build confidence in their academic skills and want to make a meaningful impact, we’d love to hear from you.

These volunteers support the Fresh Produce Program by calling and texting between 5-10 participants between Monday and Wednesday each week to confirm their upcoming Saturday deliveries. An email with instructions is sent to all volunteers at the beginning of each week. Volunteers have the assistance of a script and FAQ document to successfully complete calls. This role is KEY for making sure deliveries get to the right people/places, and helping us stay in touch with the households we serve. Relationship building is encouraged!

We ask that volunteers sign up for one semester or summer of delivery confirmation calling at a time. It is not required that callers sign up to volunteer as a Delivery Confirmation Caller every week during that period, but at least once every 2-3 weeks is encouraged.

IMPORTANT: We manage volunteer sign-ups outside of HandsOn Triangle.  If you would like to sign up to be a Delivery Confirmation Caller, and are prepared to do so for a full semester or summer, please email Elliot at elliot.yoon@duke.edu. One-hour caller training, as well as a short online HIPAA training, is required.

These volunteers will pick up produce bags from Uncle Harry's General Store (1925 Yearby Ave, Durham, NC 27705) on Saturdays between 9:30 AM and 10:30 AM at their chosen time and deliver these items to participant homes. Driving may be up to a 2-hour commitment (eg, someone who picks up at 10:00 AM should plan to finish by 12:00 PM at the latest).

We routinely need 15-20 drivers to serve ~175 households each week. In order for us to generate driving routes based on an accurate headcount of drivers for the week, we ask that you sign up no later than 5 PM the day before distribution. Once routes are generated, an email with instructions will be sent to all volunteers within a few hours of their pick-up time. The more people who sign up, the quicker the routes are for everyone! We encourage you to bring along a friend for this role! Driving is much more fun with a buddy, who can help call participants to let them know that their delivery is on the way. HIPAA training required! Please see the google sheet below for more information on HIPPA. 

IMPORTANT: We manage volunteer sign-ups on a Google Sheet outside of HandsOn Triangle. Please click here for instructions and to sign up! If the volunteer opportunity you are interested in has no open slots left, please consider signing up for a different day or role!

These volunteers support the Fresh Produce Program by assisting our distribution leaders with quality-controlling produce items, packing produce into bags, and loading bags into delivery drivers' cars on Saturday distribution days between 8:30 AM and 11:30 AM.

IMPORTANT: We manage volunteer sign-ups on a Google Sheet outside of HandsOn Triangle. Please click here for instructions and to sign up! If the volunteer opportunity you are interested in has no open slots left, please consider signing up for a different day or role! 

These volunteers will coordinate with our non-Spanish-speaking drivers on Saturday distribution days by making calls to our Spanish-speaking participants to let them know that their produce delivery is on the way. Because many of the families we serve primarily speak Spanish, these volunteers are CRUCIAL to help us receive any special instructions or requests from participants. Volunteers are encouraged to sign up for multiple time slots/days!

Covid-19 brought to light the heartbreaking extent of food insecurity in our community. Iglesia Emanuel, together with a large group of dedicated volunteers, has responded to this challenge with a weekly food pantry, providing large boxes and bags of nutritious and culturally appropriate food. Volunteers work in 2-hour shifts, Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, making it possible for us to serve over 600 families a week. Students aged 14 and up are welcome to volunteer on their own. Children aged 10 and up are welcome to volunteer under the supervision of a parent or other accompanying adult. Volunteers need to be over 18 for traffic control positions.

In addition to volunteering on site, you can help support this ministry by donating shelf stable food or bags of rice and beans. We always need more protein items (canned chicken, tuna, or peanut butter), cereal, and other nutritious food to complement the fresh produce that we give. 

See sign-up genius for volunteer dates and times.

The Climate Impact on Lung Cancer via Exposure to Radon (CLOVER) Study is a statewide research project led by Duke University that examines how radon exposure and climate change impact lung cancer outcomes across North Carolina. The study includes two parts for participants: completing a brief survey and using a free radon test kit to measure radon levels in their home.

We are seeking volunteers from across the state to help connect community members with the CLOVER Study. Volunteers will play a vital role in sharing study information, encouraging participation, and helping distribute free radon test kits to residents.

What You’ll Do:

Share CLOVER Study materials in your community (flyers, brochures, or social media posts).

Connect with local organizations, churches, and community groups to spread awareness. Assist participants with completing the survey and radon test for full participation.

No research experience is needed—just an interest in public health and a willingness to engage your community. All training, materials, and ongoing support will be provided. By volunteering, you’ll help advance lung cancer prevention and environmental health research while protecting communities from harmful radon exposure.
