Upcoming Service Learning Opportunities

The garden provides fresh produce to the Love Inc food pantry. We need help.   We are setting up the garden this Saturday, May 12th  and the next, May 19. We will cancel if there is heavy rain and lighting. Light showers, we carry on! We meet at the garden at 9:00 am. The garden is behind the United Methodist Church on State Street just across from Gooseberries. Things that need doing:

We are in the process of tagging our book collection.  This project will take many months.  We need all the volunteer help we can get!  It's a great opportunity for students to earn Community Service hours.  The job entails putting a security tag on the inside cover of books and then scanning it on a computer.  Please call the Burlington Public Library at 342-1130 with any questions or if you would like to schedule some time to volunteer.

We are looking for high school volunteers for Saturdays in April, May, and June. The hours would be 9-5 with some flexibility.  You must be 16 or older, and send in a letter of recommendation. Ideally we would like them to volunteer for more than one weekend.   Volunteers will assist guests and campers on their trip to camp.  You will have the opportunity to lead Archery, Paintball, Arts and Crafts, Nature Classes, Campfire Programs and much more.  If interested contact Kelby Harrigan at kharrigan@ymcachicago.org

This opportunity provides a student with 144 hours of Service Learning!  You can be a camper's "buddy" for the week assisting them with adaptive camp experiences, games, dances, meal time and more.  Camp dates:  Saturday, June 9th through Friday, June 15th at Salvation Army Wonderland Camp, Camp Lake, WI.  Please email Mallory Williams, camp director at mwilliams@mdausa.org or call her at 262-432-7992.

The Walworth County Fair needs volunteers for their Barnyard Adventure Stage and Tent.  Volunteers will receive free admission ticket, Barnyard Adventure T-Shirt and a food coupon.

Please contact George and Connie at 262-661-4436 or go online at www.walworthcountyfair.com

Looking for a fun way to earn Service Learning Hours?  We are looking for volunteers to help! You will be running carnival games and activities for kids 4K-4th grade.  Friday, June 1st from 4:30 - 8 PM at Winkler Elementary School.  Contact Dawn at 262-960-9773 or dawnpetges@gmail.com for details.
