We are proud to welcome our first two teen volunteers to the Off the Streets family!
They represent both Stanislaus and San Joaquin Counties and are really eager to get to work. The teens will be focusing on media, outreach and education, administrative assistance, and event planning. This is so huge to us here at Off the Streets! As their adult allies, we appreciate their willingness to engage in their community and learn something new. They totally kick and we can't wait to see what they accomplish, not only here at Off the Streets, but in their lives!
All of our teen volunteers are given opportunities to:
- Learn a variety of new skills
- Be exposed to and connected with practical and up to date information, relevant research, other community members and leaders, and a variety of expert-level resources throughout the world
- Collaborate within the community in a variety of ways
- Attend valuable trainings - generally at no cost
- Perhaps most importantly, young people will be encouraged to share their already developed skills and interests in a meaningful way
- And more! The possibilities are endless ... it just depends on who comes out!
Volunteer experiences with Off the Streets also look good on resumes and college applications, and sound good in an interview. We offer really strong volunteer opportunities - plus we have a lot of fun! Seriously, check it out!!!
- If you or a young person you know is interested in finding out more please contact us!!! You won't regret it!!
