Volunteers are needed to help with recreation, sports, arts and crafts, academics, and special events. They also have large tackle football and volleyball leagues, teen dances, and several special events every year. Some part-time paid positions and internship opportunities are available. Located a quick bus or bike ride away, this is a great opportunity to have fun working with kids. Provide friendship, tutoring and support to a child.
Volunteers meet with students during lunchtime hours.
They have also started an after school program which needs lots of volunteer help. An orientation for mentors will also be provided. Bush is three blocks from Willamette and over 100 students volunteered there last year. Also needs instructors for self-reliance classes and outdoor training. The Cartoon Club is a volunteer opportunity for students to go to the shelter on Saturday mornings to spend time with children who are staying there.
