Summer Volunteering & Scholarship

Looking for a great Summer Volunteering opportunity?

iCanBike (formerly called Lose the Training Wheels) will be held on June 3 - 7th at WKHS. This is a week long opportunity for campers with disabilities to learn to ride two-wheeled bikes. Students who have volunteered in the past have shared how fun and rewarding this experience has been for them as well as for the campers who are learning to ride their bikes. Students interested in volunteering should register online at http://icanbikecbusvol.eventbrite.com or call 614-314-1834 with questions.

Additionally, JA BizTown has a unique volunteer opportunity this summer. There will be two weeks of Summer Camp, June 10-14 and June 17-21. High school students can serve as junior counselors for the camp. Each volunteer will work from 9 - 3 all 5 days of their assigned camp. The junior counselors will be assigned a small group of kids to work with for the week learning about the importance of financial literacy. Kids "design a town", interview for jobs, work on business ideas and preparation, then work in our "town" for two days of each camp.

Their website is www.jacols.org and the summer camp information is on this page: http://jacols.org/ja_biztown/ja_biztown_summer_camp

Interested volunteers may contact Mr. Crozier at pcrozier@jacols.org.
