We are actively seeking KidStart volunteer mentors in the New Westminster and Surrey area to be assigned to a child, age 6-12.

Mentoring changes a young person’s life because it brings out their gifts. Once they find their gifts, they discover how to succeed. A mentor helps keep them on the path to following their dreams. Because of this, early intervention has been recognized as a highly effective way of addressing the living circumstances that can lead kids into difficult situations. Mentoring guides young people out of these situations.

Being a volunteer mentor with KidStart doesn’t require special skills, just common sense and a positive attitude. It means spending a couple hours each week of your time with a young person. You will be helping a child/youth to grow, thrive and connect with the community they call home.

We are seeking volunteers to provide transportation for students in Arts Connect, our community-based program for girls who are involved with the Pierce County Juvenile Court. Some of the girls are in diversion/on probation and others are in dependency, or foster care. The program consists of quarterly 10-week sessions in glass, ceramics, photography, printmaking, or other art forms. A team of adults, including professional artists, leads these weekly, three-hour classes at community sites, with support from court officers and volunteers.

Hands-on projects are generated from group discussions and writing activities about identity, society, and healthy lifestyles. A family-style dinner is served and girls can arrive early for snack, homework help, or to talk with mentors about the week’s ups and downs.

We are in need of drivers and riders as there must be two adults with the participants. Transportation volunteers are critical to the program's success! Whether you can commit to the whole session, or just one week, we need your help.

Volunteer drivers must be 21 or older but riders only need to be at least 18 years old. Volunteers must be female and pass a background check through Pierce County Juvenile Court. Volunteers are required to use Court vehicles to drive girls to and from class. Classes are held on Tuesdays or Wednesdays from 4 to 6:30 pm at a local Tacoma school. Volunteers are invited to stay through class and become a part of the class community, however at times, volunteers have also used class time to read, do homework or personal work.
