Volunteers needed in Ulster County!

Beginning in June, we’ll be offering an additional monthly, in-person Holistic Healthcare Day in Kingston. We’re seeking volunteer practitioners in acupuncture, herbalism, massage, energy work, counseling, and other healing modalities to join us in serving our community and to help support these healthcare events on a monthly basis.

Our first Kingston Holistic Healthcare Day is Thursday, June 11 at HealthAlliance Hospital and will be open to the public, including hospital patients, healthcare workers, uninsured individuals, immigrant families, and anyone who may not otherwise have access to this type of care.

If you practice a healing or wellness modality and feel called to join us and be part of an initiative shaping integrative healthcare in our region, we’d love to hear from you! Please send us a DM to get involved.

Volunteer opportunities are also available at our monthly Holistic Healthcare Days in Stone Ridge, Rosendale, and other events throughout Ulster County.

Instead of scrolling, you could be building.

Put the phone down. Pick up a hammer. Our build crew is on site every Saturday, and we're asking for just two of them a month from you.

No experience? No problem. We'll show you the ropes, hand you the tools, and by the end of the day you'll have helped build a home for a family in Ulster County.

With severe weather events becoming more frequent and more extreme, it is more important than ever that New Yorkers are prepared for disasters. The NY Citizen Preparedness Training Program teaches residents to have the tools and resources to prepare for any type of disaster, respond accordingly and recover as quickly as possible to normal conditions. This training course will provide an introduction to responding to a natural or man-made disaster. Participants will be advised on how to properly prepare for any disaster, including developing a family emergency plan and stocking up on emergency supplies.

The Citizen Preparedness Corps (CPC) training began in February 2014. Its purpose is to teach people how to prepare for disaster or emergency situations. The course includes information about the types of risks and hazards people face. It teaches how to develop individual and household plans. The training also encourages all to think about and save needed emergency supplies. Learning how to help yourself and others in advance will help you react faster when facing a crisis.
