Paint & Play with At-Risk Children
Last updated on October 24, 2007
Logo

While the children are awake, assist with fun activities such as reading, painting, singing, meal time, etc. While the children are sleeping, help the teachers organize the classrooms and prepare activities for when it's time to wake up. You can expect to be running around, smiling a lot, sitting on the floor, playing, talking in funny voices, hugging, & performing a little bit of cleaning as needed. Volunteers who are good around small children, patient, playful, creative, energetic and comfortable acting silly will get the most out of this experience.

Those interested will also participate in a special finger paint activity with one child each. Come well-rested and ready to play! We will provide all materials and refreshments to make the day as enjoyable as possible.

You must be 16 years old. We have a dress code policy that does not permit visible tattoos or piercings. For your own safety, please wear close-toed shoes and comfy clothes.
