Each year we hand out hundreds of Backpacks stuffed with school supplies to children in need. Many of those families pick them out at our annual Back to School Bash. Volunteers will get there hands on and face time with our clients handing out Book bags and school supplies to low-income children. You will also get to distribute groceries to their families so we know they are going back to school with full tummies and the tools they need to succeed. As part of the event we will be providing lunch to the families as well. Please contact us at info@bridgetohope.net if you would like to help provide school supplies for the kids. Sponsorships for this event are available.

Use your leadership skills to help give kids in need the chance to read. Page Ahead board members are passionate about children's literacy. We are a governance board, which means we are responsible for setting a vision for Page Ahead and ensuring that our mission is fulfilled. We scan the horizon for new opportunities and act as ambassadors for Page Ahead in the community. Each Page Ahead board member serves on one of the following committees: Board Development, Audit and Finance, Donor Engagement, or Governance. Committees can consist of board as well as community members and there may be duties outside of regular meetings. Board meetings are the second Tuesday of each month from 4 - 5:30P and we alternate between in-person (downtown Seattle) and online meetings. The average monthly commitment is 4-6 hours.

We believe good governance is achieved when:
1. Page Ahead has sufficient resources to place new books in the hands of children in need, provide professional development for preschool teachers, conduct parent trainings and Story Times, and help our partners with their literacy programs. All board members make personal financial contributions to Page Ahead, and use our circle of influence to help with fundraising.
2. Page Ahead is a good steward of all contributions. We closely monitor the agency’s financial condition, and hire a firm to do an independent audit of Page Ahead’s financial statements annually.
3. There is strong leadership from the board. We actively recruit new members and look for people who have a passion for children and literacy that is matched by their determination and accountability to the agency and its members. We serve a population that is diverse ethnically, culturally and geographically and actively search for board members that represent the community.
4. There is strong linkage between the needs of the community and the program actions of our agency. We attend reading events and book fairs and communicate with partners, children and parents. The board actively works to establish and recognize their needs and acts as the link between the community and Page Ahead.

Board Term: 3 years, followed by voluntary annual renewals up to a total of six years.

Kidstart is a one-to-one mentoring program for children and youth across the Lower Mainland who are experiencing significant challenges at home, at school, with their peers, and in the community. By pairing them with a volunteer mentor, our goal is to help them build the confidence and resilience they need to make positive choices and to share in many of the same experiences as other young people.

Volunteer mentors are critical to the success of the program but our biggest challenge is finding enough mentors to meet the needs of our community. We currently have 247 children and youth waiting for a mentor.

We are looking for a group of volunteers for 2-3 hours to help us put up posters around the community to aid in our volunteer recruitment efforts. We are able to accommodate your group's schedule if you would like to take part in this opportunity outside of regular business hours.

Please note: having access to a vehicle would be ideal as we would like to recruit volunteers in North Vancouver, UBC, Burnaby, New Westminster, Richmond, Surrey and Vancouver.

We look forward to welcoming you to KidStart!
