HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Listed below are just some of the ways you can help out, and remember, we are trying to make this easy and enjoyable for you! We can work around your schedule and we would like you to choose an area in which you feel comfortable.
The Edward C. Gartland Youth Centre is open to suggestions or ideas you would like to make happen for the youth of the Islands.
Supervision - *Very important!*
Being present in one of the buildings as assigned (study area, games room, computer lab, quiet space) to ensure behavior is controlled and activities are proceeding as intended.
Events
Coordinating or assisting with aspects of an event such as food, entertainment decorations, etc.
Projects
Using your artistic talents to do small projects around the Centre such as signs, decorations, inspirational messages, pictures, photography etc.
Programs
Running a program of your choice. Schedule a time, arrange a meeting of youth interested in a topic of your choice and execute the program on a regular basis.
Workshops/Seminars
Organizing a one time (or monthly, yearly, etc) training for the youth to build their skills, hear a speech or do something hands-on.
Mentor
Work with/advise youth one on one or in small groups. For example, advising a group of young entrepreneurs how to start a small business or advising teens on how to get into college
Tutor
Help organize a peer tutoring system and/or tutor small groups in a subject you feel comfortable teaching.
Sports
We have basketball and tennis courts on site. We will need someone to organize training and possibly a league for each! Also aerobics, running, general fitness and dance are always wanted!
