The Pullman School District has a wide variety of placement opportunities for volunteers wishing to work with children grades k-12. Please see additional placement sheet for a list of opportunities. Times are flexible. The YMCA supports many community projects such as Big Buddies and Friends and Pals, all of which provide mentoring for youth of various ages. The YMCA also supports the Special Olympics, which needs coaches and assistants.
Volunteers help with group activities, tutoring, mentoring and supervision.
Some planting within the structures might be done for a rooting mass and vegetation to establish and slow down runoff water, and reduce sediment loads entering waterways. This project tries to re-meander such streams and establish wetlands adjacent to the stream to provide flood storage, water quality, and groundwater recharge to benefit the watershed. The Paradise Creek was cleaned up last year. The project for this year is yet to be determined. In collaboration with the Department of Natural Resource Sciences, the purpose of the Campus Ecology Project is to encourage and establish environmentally sound practices on our campus by promoting collaborative leadership and action within the campus community.
