Here are two upcoming volunteer opportunities. If you’re interested, you can e-mail SOS here.
Book Buddies
Frank Callen Boys and Girls Club
Volunteer Group Visits
A work-study opportunity
The goal is to help the local kids at this after-school club learn some useful skills with our guidance. If you know how to do something that has practical applications then we can help teach them these profitable crafts.
Project ideas may include but are certainly not limited to teaching things such as:
Painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, writing
Pottery, jewelry, knitting, weaving, book making
Music lessons, dance, filmmaking
Computer assembly, repairs
You are highly encouraged to suggest any other skills that you are interested in teaching.
If you can, get a small reliable group (no more than 12) together to help you run the workshops.
Each session will be from 4:00 – 6:00 pm every Friday.
Be at O-House at 3:30 pm to take the bus to the Club (510 E. Charlton St.).
The kids at the club are from 5 – 18 years old. You are allowed to request the age group that you want to work with.
To get started you need to provide:
*A written proposal
-A brief description of your workshop and how it will benefit the kids.
-The goals of the workshop (What will the kids have learned by the end?)
*Lesson plans
-Day by day plans of what will be accomplished in each session
[Tip: Try looking at some of your course description sheets to get an idea of how to write your proposal and lesson plans]
You will undergo a background check, so bring your drivers license.
This is a fantastic opportunity to help yourself and others!
You don’t need to provide everything right away, just please let us know if you are interested ASAP.
Thank you!
