“I
never knew that I could matter so much to
young people just by showing up, until I spent my Friday nights doing
just that,
showing up.” - Oasis Volunteer
Oasis
started
with volunteers and the continual success and growth of our program
hinges on the energy and determination of our volunteers.
Many
people say they never begin volunteering because they are never asked.
We are asking; we ask that you share your
time, your enthusiasm, and your passion with us. There are many
different ways for volunteers to
be involved in Oasis. Below, please find a description of our volunteer
roles.
If you wish to volunteer with us, please contact Seth Kirby at: sethkirby@piercecountyaids.org.
- Drop-in center
volunteers staff the drop
in center during our regular open hours. These volunteers provide
mentorship, lead activities, and help with site supervision through a 3
hour weekly or bimonthly shift. There are also opportunities as drop in
center volunteers to lead a regular program and/or activity at Oasis.
- Special Events
Volunteers are volunteers
interested in working with youth and helping Oasis who cannot make a
weekly or bi-monthly commitment as a drop in center volunteer. Special
Events Volunteers help staff dances, retreats, fundraising events, and
other youth events as they come up throughout the year.
- Special
Projects Volunteers are volunteers who help out with administrative
tasks, mailings, fundraising, technology projects and other special
projects.
