Kid Activities Volunteer Leader Needed
HandsOn is recruiting a Volunteer Leader specifically for a recurring project we have with Housing Families First for a July 2017 start.
Our Volunteer Leader program consists of a group of dedicated, enthusiastic volunteers who we train to lead projects in the community with our partners for one year, exponentially increasing the reach of volunteerism in our region! You can make a difference by exploring a community need and leading others in service, all while learning new skills, getting access to special professional development opportunities, and interacting with fellow leaders in meetups and socials year round.
The project is leading once Wednesday evening per month from 6:30-8:00pm Your volunteer leader term would be from July 2017-July 201 with the option to renew your term if you'd like at the end.
The project:
Housing Families First assists families experiencing homelessness to build their capacity to live productively within the community. On Wednesday evenings, the residents have classes, during which the children in the house are in need of supervision and activities. Volunteers will engage these youth in an activity each month, who may range in age from infant to teen. This is semi-unstructured time, and may include everything from crafts and games, to homework help, to changing diapers, to just hanging out. Volunteers may also be asked to assist with other tasks, such as cleaning rooms to prepare them for families and sorting and organizing donations.
