The Youth Resource Center is calling all passionate individuals to make a difference! We’re in need of enthusiastic volunteers to help out . This is your chance to give back, inspire, and be a part of something truly special.

It’s the perfect time to uplift our community and support our youth. Even two hours can spark a lifetime of change. Ready to make an impact? Sign up today and be the change you wish to see!

Volunteer your time at the Youth Resource Center! Volunteer duties include: hanging out with youth, help serve dinner, clean up dinner, can bring fun activities to do with the youth if you wish and can help with afterschool pickups if you wish. Volunteers must pass a background check to serve. If you are interested in driving youth, you need to be 25 years old and have a valid driver's license. Volunteers serving in the center must be able to go up and down stairs.

Volunteers have flexible schedule options any day Monday to Friday. The center is open from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Those interested in driving have schedule options for Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 3-4 p.m. and Wednesdays 2:15-3:15 p.m.

Lots of exciting things happening with the Youth Resource Center. Rhonda Moore has been hired to be our liaison between the secondary public schools. As she continues to develop those relationships we are going to see more growth! We will be offering rides to the Youth Resource Center after school at North Middle School, East Middle School, Great Falls High School, and CMR High School.   That means... we need you!! If you or anyone you know would be interested in volunteering to transport youth from school to the YRC, as well as from the YRC to home please reach out to Logan Wren at lwren@allianceforyouth.org or call 952.0136.

Do you want to be part of giving local youth a safe place and the resources they need to make good choices? If so, become a volunteer with the Alliance for Youth Resource Center. There are a variety of tasks volunteers could be asked to assist with, to include: screening youth to gain entrance to YRC; helping students with tutoring and homework assignments; serving dinner and clean-up; disinfecting the YRC at the end of the day; transporting youth after school to the center; and other jobs.

 

Potential volunteers must love children, teenagers, and young adults. Prior personal or professional experience working with youth is desired but not required. Volunteers must pass a background check and complete an orientation and interview process before being placed. There will also be training opportunities throughout the year. The volunteers will be serving in the basement, so being able to climb one set of stairs needed to access YRC is a must.

 

The volunteer will be serving shifts Monday - Friday between the hours of 1 p.m. and7 p.m. and earlier hours for summer. The schedule is flexible, and staff will work with you on when you serve. They are looking for a one-year commitment for long-term volunteers, but event volunteers are usually the day before and the day of the event. For more information or to volunteer, contact Kristy Pontet-Stroop at 406-952-0018 or kpontet-stroop@allianceforyouth.org.
