FORGOT YOUR DETAILS?

Your contribution will enable us to continue to support students most in need.

GET INVOLVED

Volunteer to Make a Difference! Volunteers play a central role in the life and growth of any nonprofit organization. With volunteers, costs can be contained, extra services provided, funds raised, messages communicated to a wider audience, and future board leadership developed. Without volunteer participation in all aspects of our organization, our mission becomes more difficult, costs go up, and the organization runs the risk of becoming insular and not responsive to the needs of the students we are designed to help.

Sample Volunteer Opportunities ​

  • Join our Board of Trustees, a Committee or a Special Events Team
  • Be an inspirational speaker, perform at student assemblies, volunteer for career day, or participate in the annual health fair
  • Participate in fundraising activities
  • Become a student mentor in your area of expertise
  • Sponsor or volunteer for annual field trips
  • Volunteer at Olympics Day, Graduation, Alumni Reunions, and other annual events
  • Tutor students
  • Teach an enrichment activity such as drama, art, photography, woodworking, cooking, or music
  • Help with filing, data entry, preparing mailings, search engine optimization, e-newsletters, social media, marketing, etc.
  • Donate expertise, supplies, and labor for landscaping and facility maintenance
  • Give gifts and prizes to positively reinforce students
  • Donate silent and live auction items for fundraisers
  • Provide an internship or shadowed vocational opportunity for a transitioning student (ages 18-22)
