Volunteer Orientation
Saturday, July 13 at 1:00
Interested in making a difference and volunteering with MWCA?
We have an immediate need for volunteers willing to assist with our Special Needs/Healing Arts classes. If you would like to be placed on our list of volunteers to contact when these classes are scheduled, please email our coordinator, Shay Youngblood. These classes serve the elderly; and children and adults with developmental delays or physical disabilities.
This is a time for you to get know us and for us to get to know you ... so we can plug you in here in ways that use your talents and bring you joy!
If you can't make this one, we'll schedule future volunteer orientation monthly at various times - weekends, weekday mornings or evenings to try to accommodate you all as much as possible.
Without volunteers, this place would fall apart!! I hope you can attend and get involved here -- it's a creative, relaxing, sweet place.
If you can make it - please RSVP by emailing me so I can prepared enough materials. Or if you are interested in attending a future orientation and would like to share some times that work best for you, please email me: hope@monroeartguild.org
