Volunteer
Job Description: You can be a mentor for a troubled child who needs a friend. Spend one-on-one time with a girl or boy who doesn’t have a family in the area. Do you want to be a teacher? Why not provide valuable tutorial help for students that need extra help with homework or learning good study skills? Are you a physical/recreational education student? Begin your experience by providing youth recreational and physical activities. Families going through difficult times can also use a helping hand with transportation, maintenance jobs, household management, and budgeting. Whatever your skills, we can probably put them to use.
Requirements: Full criminal background and protective service check required plus work history and three references. Volunteers are also required to maintain the privacy of the clients.
