The Teens in the House program is the perfect opportunity to explore the inner workings of a non-profit organization while gaining valuable experience in various vocations!

Four sets of Middle and High School students will volunteer for five hours each day for one week in June or July at the SECU Family House. The Family House is similar to the Ronald McDonald House, as it provides an affordable place to stay for patients and families who have traveled to Winston-Salem for medical care. However, patients must be adults if they or their caregivers would like to stay at the Family House. Here, guests find comfortable amenities and a caring environment after long days at the hospital tending to their loved ones.

Teens will work with staff, volunteers, and guests to discover all the moving parts of a successful, non-profit hospitality house. Each day will introduce teens to a new and different way to support their community and make a difference in someone’s life.

Dates for Rising Middle Schoolers: June 26-29 and July 24-27

Dates for Rising High Schoolers: June 19-22 and July 17-20

(students are asked to apply as the grade they will be in the fall!)

The program is Monday-Thursday 9am-1pm.

Applications are due May 15, 2017. Cost of the program is $70.
