Summer is coming up and school will be coming to an end. We are looking for volunteers who can spend time with our youth this summer and run different groups with them for an hour or two during the week.
The kids in our shelter are between the ages of 11-17 and love to learn knew skills. We love to think outside the box, or even in it, to bring them new and creative things to do. They currently make jewelry, learn to cook, do calligraphy, meditation, collaging and Art. Some things done in the past include yoga, self defense, kick boxing, homemade products, knitting, crocheting, sports, cake decorating, dance, music, oragmi etc.
If you have a hobby or talent that you would love to share with the kids, we would love to talk to you. Pinterest lovers, this is perfect for you :)
** Due to confidentiality, licensing requires all volunteers ineracting with the youth to be over the age of 18.More opportunities with SafeHouse of the Desert
