Volunteer

Know about a neighborhood “Little Library”? We would like a neighborhood “Poetry Box” or two. Poetry or Haiku placed in the slot. Youth collect and create a ZINE to share. Do you play Chess or Magic, Catan or Azul, Poker or Cribbage? How about a mini tournament?

TheShop will supply the food and maybe a prize or two but we need you to organize the brackets. We have a kajillion beads in all shapes and sizes. We have wires, connectors and jewelry making tools. With your help this may be the year every youth creates a piece of art to keep or to give away. It’s tough to engage youth in music and art. The stigma of failure or not being good enough is huge. We have a small piano and guitars. We have paint and brushes. We have chalk and clay and markers. Become a mentor to our youth through the simple act of talking while engaging creatively. It works. We use the word “atypical”. We mean it.

TheShop is a wealth of resources waiting for your passion to ignite a passion within our youth. Give us a call and arrange a time to introduce yourself and take our nickel tour. We will have a volunteer application waiting for you!
