I am interested in being a volunteer. The
qualifications: No special background or experience; just a heart to serve and
desire to make a difference.

I chose the Y because I love helping families and
their children. I want to help them overcome their challenges and reach goals
that they have set for themselves. They focus on youth development, counseling,
healthy living, and social and responsibility. I would like to apply for the
Afterschool Child Care Director. I would have to oversee youth and the
enrichment after school program. I will have to have leadership skills, be
motivated and committed. I will need a 4 year degree in education and have 5 years
of experience with children.
The Women Safe House
I chose this
because I have had friends and family members that has or is dealing with
violence in their family and their children are getting involved in the abuse
along with their mothers and fathers. They had no positions available at the
time. I would love to volunteer. I can volunteer I the Children’s program. I
can read to the children, help with homework, and help feed them. I become
there friend. My job is to make them feel safe. The only qualification is to be
patient, kind and loving.
Guadalupe,
ReplyDeleteGem and Gents seems like a place where young adolescent and young adults need to discover themselves. At this critical junction in their young lives, having someone to consistently rely upon to be there for a child regardless of the circumstances would without a doubt influence that youngster in a positive direction. Thank you for thinking about these young men and women.

hello, GEMs ad GENTs are for the children not for the adults. The adults are the volunteers for the program. I tried to get in this group, but they had no more room for volunteers. I was told they get many volunteers, because they have so much fun with the youths. The organization is a great success!
ReplyDeleteI solely agree that the need for children getting off the streets and become more involved in things that are challenging and rewarding with safety for them much be stepped up with help of others, great choice of interest this week. Thanks for sharing!
