These are the areas in which we are currently accepting volunteers. Please call our office at 320-759-0794 to find out more about these opportunities and obtain an application form.
Children’s Activities – Rita Lotti, Community Kids coordinator
After school activities for children may include recreation, games, arts and crafts, music, help with homework and more. If you are interested in helping, contact our office for information regarding specific activities, scheduling and training requirements.
Dinner Hosts – Dave and Jean Schonberg, coordinators
Dave and Jean currently host a Friday evening dinner. If you are interested in helping with Friday evening dinners, volunteers are needed to help set up tables and chairs, greet people and make them feel welcome, wash dishes and clean up the kitchen afterward, put away tables and chairs, sweep and vacuum floors. Other opportunities would be to occasionally host (plan, provide, and prepare) the Friday evening dinner when Dave and Jean are not available, or to become dinner hosts on another night of the week. Contact our office for more information.
Clean and Maintain Building – Dionne Hoffman, coordinator
Volunteers are needed to assume regular cleaning chores as well as occasional maintenance tasks. Contact Dionne at the phone number below if you are interested in this area of service.
Volunteer Requirements
All volunteers are directly accountable to the coordinator of the area in which they are volunteering and indirectly accountable to the 6th Avenue Community Center facility manager and to TRC Ministries. It is expected that all volunteers follow and uphold the general guidelines outlined for the facility which include the following:
1. No smoking allowed in the facility.
2. No drugs or alcohol allowed on the property.
3. No items are to be loaned or removed from the facility, including tables, chairs, coffee makers, dishes, kettles, media and media equipment. Always treat others with courtesy and common respect. It is our goal to provide a welcoming and fun environment at the Community Center. If you are an occasional volunteer or a helper working alongside a staff member or trained volunteer, you may need no other training than receiving instructions from the person in charge with whom you are working. Positions of greater responsibility such as teachers, children’s program leaders, managers and coordinators would require some training.
Trained Volunteers
To become a trained volunteer you will need to apply. Please contact Dionne Hoffman at the phone number below to obtain an application form. We will review the application, check references and background information and schedule an interview. You will be informed of the training applicable to the area for which you are volunteering. The training may be in the form of a video or an instructional session presented by a staff member or a combination of the two. You will be considered a trained volunteer after successful completion of all of the above
