PBEM understands that the cost of childcare can be a barrier to volunteering. So we have partnered with the nonprofit organization Politisit, who will pay for NET volunteers' babysitting while you attend certain PBEM trainings and events! No strings. How great is that?
How It Works
- Tell Politisit you wish to enroll in their service by filling out this one-time application form. Politisit will let you know whether you are approved.
- Register normally for the NET event(s) you want to attend. See the list of currently approved events below. Event registration is usually done in MyImpactPage or through a community partner organization.
- Fill out this event request form at least 72 hours before the event. Politisit will let you know if they can fund your request.
- Make arrangements with the childcare provider of your choice.
- Attend the event.
- After the event, send Politisit documentation of event attendance and they will send you money to reimburse your childcare costs via Paypal or check!
Currently Approved Events
The events for which PBEM currently has approved childcare through Politisit are:
- Bridge-Pamoja Basic NET Training, 2023.12.16
- Team Meetings and exercises, but please tell us about the specific event you want covered so we can pass it along to Politisit.
For specific PBEM events not listed here for which you need childcare, please contact us at net@portlandoregon.gov
More Information About Politisit
For more information about the organization's very cool mission and people, visit www.politisit.org
If you do not need childcare but would like to make a tax-deductible donation to help fund other volunteers' needs, go here!
Important Fine Print
PBEM does not handle money, cannot directly reimburse volunteers, and will not manage arrangements you make with Politisit. We have established this partnership to assist volunteers, but have no fiduciary control over decisions and payments.
