Thank you for your interest in Night Lights! Here is a brief summary about volunteering with us:
We meet the second Friday of the month from 5: 30 pm - 10:00 pm. We start the night off about 45 minutes before the children arrive, eating dinner together (provided), catching up and making announcements. Children typically arrive around 6:30 p m and volunteers are paired up with their child for that evening. Some children have special needs and others may be their typical developing sibling, but each volunteer has only one child.
There are crafts, games, a movie and many other things to play with - everyone stays busy. The parents are expected to pick up their kids by 10: 00pm .
To get started, you are welcome to come shadow an evening at Night Lights by simply accepting this as an invitation for our upcoming evening ( enter next Night Lights ). If you are ready to apply to volunteer, you can do that here : https://nightlightskids.dm.networkforgood.com/forms/volunteer-application-parker
