Volunteers of America Oregon: Facilitate after school programming with our Youth Gambling Prevention Services
Posted by hannah.cherry
Facilitate after school programming with our Youth Gambling Prevention Services.
Youth Gambling Prevention (a program of Volunteers of America Oregon) is a community partner with Floyd Light Middle School’s SUN School’s (School’s Uniting Neighborhoods) after school program to disseminate gambling prevention strategies to youth through providing hands-on experiences and positive adult bonding.
Volunteers will play an integral role in facilitating activities for youth, building positive relationships and watching children grow. This is a great opportunity to gain skills in child development, teaching, and counseling. Sample activities include:
- Support staff by working one-on-one and in small groups of students to aid in the completion of provided activities – games and or art projects.
- Set up and break down activities for the day; assist in the implementation and creation of new projects.
- Co-lead field trips to local parks and other outdoor activities for our Kids at Home in the Wild (KaHW!) program.
Please read the time and committment requirements carefully:
- Three month commitment of a weekly shift on Mondays; with the exception of school/VOA Oregon closures.
- Activities are from 3:45-5:05 P.M.
- Volunteer for one, two, or all three terms offered below:
- 10/03/16 – 12/12/16, Theme: Games of all kinds
