VOLUNTEERING FOR TEENS
Hey teens,
If you need volunteer hours for your school or other organization, feel free to reach out – we can use your help! If you have already signed up to volunteer with Ms. Shannon, you are still on our mailing list. If you haven’t, please fill out our volunteer application form here to let us know about you and get on our mailing list.
We are having a volunteer orientation on June 10th at 5:30pm – we will be discussing volunteer opportunities and expectations; there will also be snacks and you will get volunteer time for this meeting. If you attended the March volunteer orientation, you do not need to attend.
Register here.
