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.
“I learned a lot about different organizations that helps people in need, and I might want to be a volunteer in the future” –Matthew
2020 Dates: TBD
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!
“This experience gave me exposure and insight into the different jobs that help the community and jobs inside the hospital which is where I might want to work” –Sarah
