Volunteer
We have plenty of ways to volunteer. Whether you like to work directly with the youth or behind the scenes, there are many ways to lend a hand. We have opportunities for both individuals, or small groups.
Career Prep/Exploration
Share with our middle school youth about your career pathway and how you turned your interests and skills into a career. You can help our youth connect the dots between their current passions and a future job.
Time commitment: 1-2 hours, one-time opportunity
Skill-Sharing
Are you a whiz at Excel? A genius at financial literacy? We are looking for individuals to share their expertise with our youth through a presentation or workshop!
Time commitment: 3-4 hours including your planning time, can be repeated with different skills
Local Business Tours
All students love a field trip. We’d like to get a “behind-the-scenes” look at how your place of work functions. This experience will expose students to new ideas about the workplace and their future careers.
Time commitment: 2-3 hours, one-time opportunity
After-School Activity Support
Do you have a special talent or interest you’d like to share? Why not facilitate an after-school opportunity? Volunteers plan and lead all the activities while we provide supplies and support. Some example ideas: drill team, chess club, drama group, art workshop, special clinic, etc.
Hours: Monday – Friday, 3:00pm – 5:30pm, single or multi-day opportunities
Locations: Christ the King Lutheran Church, New Brighton
Cooking Volunteer
Do you LOVE to cook? Come help us prepare snacks and meals for our after school and summer program. Help us out one day a week, a couple times a month, or whatever works for your schedule.
Hours: Tuesday mornings from 11am-1pm
Locations: Christ the King Lutheran Church, New Brighton
Floating Volunteer
Not really sure how you’d like to help out, or just want to serve where the need is greatest? Come be our extra pair of hands! We often need people who can help with snack preparation, monitor the hallways and take attendance, act as a coach or simply spend some time with the kids. Why not join us?
Hours: Monday – Friday, 3:00pm – 5:30pm
Locations: Christ the King Lutheran Church, New Brighton
