Help kids realize their potential.

Description of volunteer opportunities and volunteer sign-up form.

There are as many ways to volunteer with Communities In Schools as there are volunteers. Help out with a school supplies drive or winter coat distribution. Present your industry at a career fair or serve on a board of directors. Mentor or tutor a young person who needs your help and guidance. Join thousands of others as we improve the odds for Washington youth in need and at risk.

We're experts in organizing volunteers. Give us a call; it might just be the best call you've ever made.

Here are some of our current openings:

Speakers Needed


North Central AVID (Advantage Via Individual Determination) Classes - We need 3 speakers from 1:30pm-2:30pm on the 2nd and 3rd Fridays of each month this spring.  Speakers would be for 30 minutes, inspirational, able to tell their success stories and give advice on how to take care of yourself as you move forward in life.  Specific instructions will be given depending on the grade level (9th-12th) you will be speaking to.  Last fall CIS provided NC with over 30 great community leaders. 

Lewis and Clark CORE program

- We need 3 speakers on the 1st Wednesday of the month to tell truly inspirational stories to at-risk youth.  Share the struggles you went through and how you made it to your position in life.

 

Cheney Middle School - We need speakers for a career awareness dya this spring.

One Child at a Time
Doug, a Communities In Schools volunteer, has mentored Kevin for 6 years. “In elementary school Kevin struggled with behavior problems, which caused his grades to suffer. We met and worked on math homework or played chutes and ladders after school. Soon, his behavior improved. Kevin became interested in music and started playing percussion in the school band. Now that Kevin is in high school, we talk about life experiences and the importance of keeping good grades in preparation for college. Mentoring Kevin gives me a chance to give back to the community. Growing up I had very few black male mentors, and I wanted to be that kind of example to Kevin. I’m so proud to see how he’s developed into a mature young man.”
