Volunteer: Fair Housing Testers- Seniors NeededBecome a Tester The Fair Housing Center of West Michigan (FHCWM) furthers equal housing opportunity through educational and enforcement‐oriented programs based upon Title VIII of the U.S. Civil Rights Act of 1968, commonly referred to as the Fair Housing Act. You can be an active part of such efforts by becoming a tester. In addition to being interesting and rewarding work, testing offers a practical means of putting open housing beliefs into actions that benefit our entire community. What is a Tester? As a tester, you play the role of a homeseeker – a person who is looking for a housing unit in which to live. Testers must be objective, careful observers, accurate reporters and truthful witnesses. Testers are paid a stipend for each test with mileage reimbursements. What is Testing? Testing is a term used to describe the process of checking the housing market to determine the nature and extent of discriminatory treatment practiced against various homeseekers. Two or more individuals, similar in every respect other than the variable being tested, are sent to the same sales or rental office. Testers keep careful notes as to what transpires, and then record their experience on a standard report form. Differences in the treatment of testers often form the basis for successful resolution of a housing discrimination complaint. Why Testing? The testing process has been consistently supported by federal courts as a legitimate and necessary method to identify practices of unlawful housing discrimination. In West Michigan, successful litigations filed by claimants have been based on evidence obtained by FHCWM testers.

Volunteer: Smithsonian Digital Volunteers!
Digital Volunteers
Smithsonian Digital Volunteers at a Wikipedia Editathon
The Smithsonian benefits from the work of thousands of passionate volunteers who support the organization on-site in our museums, zoo, and other facilities. Today, digital technology makes it possible for people who believe in the Smithsonian mission to make significant contributions online. "Digital Volunteers" can now take on important assignments to expand access to the Smithsonian's massive collections, and can participate in a variety of research programs. Some roles require special knowledge or skill, but many do not. Selected opportunities are described below. Smithsonian Transcription CenterLaunched in July 2013, the Smithsonian Transcription Center seeks to engage the public in making our collections more accessible. Citizen scholars are invited to transcribe historic documents including diaries and working papers of prominent Americans and records associated with the Smithsonian's vast scientific collections. Transcription makes these important materials more accessible to researchers around the world, as well as the general public. To date, more than ten thousand citizen scholars have come to the Transcription Center and engaged with the wide array of documents posted there by Smithsonian archivists and curators—from field notebooks surveying snakes and reptiles in South Dakota in 1894 to the diaries of Leo Baekeland, the American chemist and founder of the modern plastics industry. To learn more about this opportunity and get involved as a citizen scholar, visit the Smithsonian Transcription Center. Smithsonian Wikipedian Volunteer ProgramThe Smithsonian seeks digital volunteers to assist in contributing content to Wikipedia related to our collections and areas of expertise. Improving the quality and quantity of reliable information on Wikipedia, as well as usage of Smithsonian resources on the site, helps meet our mission, the "increase and diffusion of knowledge." We seek experienced and motivated Wikipedia editors who are technically proficient in both the software and the norms of the Wikimedia community.
