Needs From: United Way of Addison County

Volunteer: Drop In Assistant

The Teen Center is seeking volunteers or Middlebury College work-study students who are interested in helping one afternoon a week during Drop In. Drop In runs every school day from 3:00pm - 6:00pm. Drop In Assistants spend time with teens in 7th - 12th grades, playing video games, making art, gardening, playing basketball, skating on the Mini ramp, or just sitting and chatting. Drop In Assistants serve as role-models, mentors, and safe adults who are outside of school and home settings. All Teen Center staff and volunteers must be willing to be background checked. Our strong preference is for volunteers who can commit to a consistent day of the week for one or two semesters, as our teens will rely on that consistency and form bonds with our volunteers.
