Teen Summer Volunteer Program

2025 SUMMER TEEN VOLUNTEER PROGRAM FOR GRADES 6TH TO 12TH (Incoming Fall 2025)
Are you trying to find a program where you can start earning your volunteer hours?  Want to develop your leadership and job skills, be helpful and understand the younger youth in the community?  The Summer Teen Volunteer Program provides the perfect opportunity for teens and tweens to work with Kindergarten-4th Grade youth in ARPD's WOW Programs and develop their skills while also earning valuable community service hours.
Teen Volunteers are responsible for assisting ARPD Program Leaders and facilitate WOW program activities such as sports, games and enrichment activities.  Volunteers will help with program set-up, break down, clean-up, preparations and various other duties assigned by ARPD Staff.
