Volunteer
Volunteers are crucial to the success of our program. Here are six easy ways to volunteer at The Friendship Club:
- Be a friend – spend time with a girl and share an activity or passion
- Be a driver – drive girls from their schools to The Friendship Club, drive girls on field trips or drive them to summer activities
- Be a tutor – work with the girls during homework time
- Be an office volunteer – help with mailings, calls and organization
- Be a program volunteer – help with cooking and meeting set-up
- Help at fundraising events – help with set-up, staffing and clean up
“Find Your Passion” Mentor Program
In our “Find Your Passion” program, each mentor meets with her girl once a week for six weeks or more to share her knowledge and skills in a particular area. The girls have a wide variety of interests including sports and outdoor activities, cooking, animals, crafts and fiber arts, and the visual and performing arts.
“Friendship Angel” Mentor Program
The “Friendship Angel Program is a long-term commitment. Each Angel is matched with a girl when she enters the program, usually in sixth grade, and mentors her through high school. Angels are asked to meet with their girls at least once a month and to attend several Friendship Club group events each year. Angels spend time with their girls doing things like having lunch, going to a movie, taking a walk, cooking or working on a craft, or playing a sport. Angels serve as role models and friends and their most important job is listening.
