Teen Volunteer Weeks

Trade the Pool for a Week of Service Learning

Whether it’s folding a fitted sheet, making ginger cookies, or figuring out exactly what 501(c)(3) means, the Family House is filled to the brim with opportunities to learn.

What better way to learn than a hands-on service learning program?

This summer the Family House is offering four separate weeks for middle and high school students who are ready for an inside peek at what it takes to make a successful non-profit run. Students will visit a hospital, explore the various support services that the Family House provides to guests, cook a meal for guests – and so much more!

Students receive 16 service hours upon completion.

Dates for Rising Middle Schoolers: July 15 – 18 OR July 29 – August 1

Dates for Rising High Schoolers: June 17 – 20 OR July 22 – 25

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

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

*Deadline extended* Applications are due May 31, 2019.

Cost of the program is $70. Scholarships are available.

Great for teens looking to explore the non-profit or healthcare professions.

Teens will:

• Learn about the Family House’s support services,
• help in a variety of ways around the Family House,
• spend a morning touring a hospital,
• cook a delicious lunch for Family House guests and parents,
• and plan and complete a project of their choosing!
