Volunteer: Board MembersThe Prevention Council of Roanoke County is a community coalition, formed in March of 2001, which is committed to promoting the healthy development of the Roanoke County community, with a special emphasis on youth. As a community coalition, the Council exists as a partnership of parents, youth, school, faith, law enforcement, business, medical, and other community leaders. The ultimate goal of the Council is to identify the critical risk behaviors and substance abuse issues that threaten the health and development of our local community. We believe, however, that public health issues, such as alcohol or marijuana abuse, do not exist only in a school or social setting where youth frequently congregate; in order to protect our youth from risky decisions, it is essential that all prevention strategies adopt a community wide approach. To that end, the Prevention Council of Roanoke County utilizes the Strategic Prevention Framework Process, as taught by the national training agency, CADCA, in support of all Drug Free Community Support Programs.

Volunteer: Shoe Drive AdvocateBy hosting a shoe drive you can create community engagement, provide new opportunities for those in need AND give back to the environment. All you have to do is rally everyone you know to clean out their closets and donate their used shoes. You will pick them up from them or have places for them to drop-off. We have branded S4S boxes you are welcome to use and place (with the place’s permission) at your office, church, library, school, local business, grocery store, etc. When you finish collecting, you will bring them to the Soles4Souls Regional Donation Center in Richmond, VA or ship them from free via Zappos. At this point you have completed your drive and bring/ship the shoes you have collected to the nearest drop-off! You can invest as much time or as little time into your drive. We will write you a service letter if needed. Soles4Souls creates sustainable jobs and provides relief through the distribution of shoes and clothing around the world. It’s estimated that 21 billion pounds of textile waste is dumped in landfills every year. That makes up more than 5% of all municipal waste generated every year. Since 2006, Soles4Souls has diverted 23.8 million pounds of shoes and clothes from landfills and instead created meaningful economic opportunities and helped provide new shoes for those in need around the globe. Gently-worn shoes collected help individuals start and sustain small businesses to lift themselves and their families out of poverty. Here is the impact an entrepreneur can make with the sale of 1, 20 or 30 pairs of shoes: 1 pair of shoes can provide 5 meals for Marie-Ange and her family in Haiti, 20 pairs of shoes can provide a year’s worth of shelter for Ginette and her family in Haiti and 30 pairs of shoes can provide a year’s worth of schooling for Tracy’s daughter in Honduras.
