Parent Volunteers Needed
Parent volunteers help enhance the performance of youth and enrich the programs offered at the Club. Active parent participation is known for raising student grades, increase in student achievement, cultivating positive attitudes about school, enhanced motivation and self esteem. We would love for parents of our members to share their skills and talents with the Club.
Design Our Marketing Materials
We are looking for a few graphic designers who are interested in designing our marketing materials (such as flyers, posters, post cards, etc). This is a great volunteer opportunity that would help us get the word out about all our special events, programs and organization.
