August 2021

Hi!

I’m Kelsey Stanley, Volunteer Program Manager at Catholic Charities Dallas.

It is hard to believe the final weeks of Summer are upon us. In these final weeks of August, CCD is beginning to look ahead to the Fall. Here are a few ways you can help!

  • Are you a college student in need of an internship? We will be offering a number of internship opportunities this Fall, ranging from Parish and Community Relations to Educational Services.
  • The Brady Senior Program at Marillac is a place for seniors to continue to grow through their later years while keeping their minds, bodies, and spirits active in the community. Right now, we are in need of volunteers to help further this aspect of our mission. We are currently looking for Fiber Arts Instructors, Food Handlers, Activities Assistance, and Administrative Assistance.
  • Do you love to teach people and help them learn? Then consider becoming a Virtual Tutor! We are looking for adults to teach English, Mathematics, and help in educational development across all core subjects.
  • Still haven’t heard something that catches your attention? Not to worry! There are many more opportunities posted on our volunteer page.

Over the past year, we have realized just how important our community is. In the words of Dorothy Day, “We have all known the long loneliness and we have learned that the only solution is love and that love comes with community.” I want to encourage you to reflect upon the gifts God has given you, and then to use those gifts, out of love for your neighbor.

Together we will help solve loneliness and better the communities of northern Texas.  We look forward to serving with you – YOU make our work possible!
