Get Involved Column by Deko
Hey there,
As always, I am bringing to you some Volunteer Opportunities. This first one comes to you from Los Angeles, California
1) Activities with Kids (Midnight Mission Family Housing)
The children at this family housing shelter would love to play games or draw with you while their parents build a better future by working and participating in group counseling sessions. The Midnight Mission Family Housing program attempts to break the cycle of homelessness for families by combining transitional housing with a supportive environment.
Each Tuesday night, from 615pm-815pm, LA Works entertains the 12-15 children (ages 3-12) at this facility in Inglewood with art projects, games, tutoring, etc. while the parents attend a counseling session. It's a fun and enjoyable evening - the kids really appreciate the volunteers. We normally will play outside (ball, jump rope, swings, tag, etc) and then do some craft project and/or games as time permits.
Volunteers for this project must be at least 5 years of age. Pre-teens must be accompanied by a parent.
Great opportunity for all of you in the Los Angeles Area.
