Daytime Volunteers Email List
2025-11-05 13:00 - 16:00 (America/Chicago)
Daytime Volunteers Needed!

At The Woods Project we always strive to improve our program and serve our students in the best way possible. To get more done in a timely manner we are hoping to have volunteers sign up for shifts throughout the week. Shifts will be variable each week as the workload and needs change. In office tasks may include working on various kits, club supplies, data entry, or even calls to students. Another task but located at the front of the Red Cross will be Saturday trip departures that involve helping leaders and teachers get students loaded onto the correct bus.
I am also adding some warehouse tasks that involve loading up the Uhaul on Friday packouts and unloading it on their Sunday returns. In general, there will be different tasks every week. If you are interested, please sign-up below to be added to my daytime volunteer email list. It does not sign you up for a specific shift but adds you to the email list that will notify you when our shifts are created. I will send out registration links for specific shifts every 2 to 4 weeks.
Because many of these tasks may only require a handful of people, you will need to register. Once you register for a specific shift you will receive a confirmation along with information about the location, expected task and staff person in charge.
As always, our wonderful volunteers are the only way we make things happen with a small staff. Thank you!
Sign-up to be on the list!
