Volunteens

 

Teens  — The Works is a great place to volunteer. Hands-on education and fun is what we’re all about. Plus, you can earn community service hours. We’re looking for volunteers year round, but we have especially high needs during our summer camp season.  At a minimum, we ask that you serve at least one shift per month. You’ll also need to complete required trainings sessions before you get started to help you understand and fulfill your responsibilities. Teens usually start out in an entry level position, but can be nominated by Works’ staff or apply for a more directed volunteer role.
