volunteer

We are always looking for dedicated volunteers.  Volunteers are a large part of our program and add to the success of our program.  They bring an extra spark of energy to the staff and students.  Together we work to create a fun and educational environment for students all year long.  Volunteering is also a great way to gain community service hours, add to a resume or school application, make new friends, gain new skills, and help others. We hope you’ll join our team!
