CALLING ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS
Do you love spending time with children and families? Are you great at coming up with fun activities or looking to be a part of a beautiful family-centered community? We would love to have you! Join the afternoon in exchange for your helping hands and watchful eyes.
Tasks for helpers are light and include:
-presence
-extra eyes on the children
-support in creating and maintaining appropriate physical boundaries in the space
-help overseeing specific activities
Most importantly, it is about bringing generations together so we can learn from one another, support new families and contribute to a brighter future for humanity. Every family in our community could use a little extra support in one way or another and that is what this space is all about!
