VOLUNTEER SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS!

[Lorri Marcely]

Project HELP has two on-going volunteer opportunities for Fall semester
open to all students. Those who are interested would commit to volunteering
at the Ted K Center of the Plattsburgh Housing Authority or the Adult Day
Health Center at Plattsburgh Rehabilitation and Nursing Center a minimum of
one hour per week throughout the semester.  This is an outstanding
opportunity for students majoring in education, nursing, social work, human
development and family relations, communication disorders and sciences and
more. Of course, it is also meaningful for students no matter what their
major.

*The first opportunity is the Ted K.Center early childhood and after-school
programs. *The Ted K. Center provides educational, social and recreational
services to youth and families residing in the Plattsburgh Housing
Authority developments. Daily activities are focused on the core areas of
creativity, physical fitness, homework completion, computer learning,
nutrition education and general recreation. Volunteers should expect to
engage in arts and crafts, games, sports and more with the children.

Opportunities will be available to a core group of students to volunteer
weekly during the early childhood program between 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. and
the after school program between 2:30 - 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. You
do not need to be available during those entire time frames nor do you need
to be available every day.

You must be committed to volunteering at least once per week at Ted K with
the intention of developing relationships with the children in the
programs. Volunteers must be dependable, have good moral character and
agree to be positive role models to the children. All volunteers will go
through a brief training and orientation program and may be invited to
reflection conversations over the course of the semester.

.

*The second opportunity is to assist with the Adult Day Health Center at
Plattsburgh Rehabilitation and Health Center.* This program is a
care program that provides comprehensive healthcare with therapeutic,
social, educational and recreational activities to enhance the lives of
the elderly, chronically ill, and disabled adults while maintaining their
residence in the community.  Volunteers should expect to facilitate or
assist with social/recreational activities or educational enrichment
activities for program participants.

This opportunity is available any day, Monday through Friday, between the
hours of 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. You would choose at least one of those
days to volunteer each week for a minimum of one hour. You must be
committed to volunteering at least once per week over the course of the
semester at the Adult Day Center with the intention of developing
relationships with the program participants. Volunteers must be dependable,
have good moral character and agree to be positive role models. All
volunteers will go through a brief training and orientation program and
may be invited to reflection conversations over the course of the semester.
