Agency: City of Phoenix - Watkins Shelter

Description: Volunteers will spend quality time with children at the Watkins overflow homeless shelter. Arts & crafts, reading, writing, games, and fun, literacy-based activities are par for the course on the first Wednesday from 6:00-7:30pm.

The minimum age for this project is 6 with a parent/guardian, and 15 without a parent/guardian. All volunteers under 18 who wish to attend a project without a parent MUST bring a signed Youth Volunteer Waiver to each project.

By signing up for projects and not attending, you may be depriving someone else of the opportunity to participate and the project of much-needed support.

Please note that in an effort to accommodate volunteers who sign up for projects by choice, HandsOn does not accept court ordered volunteers and will not sign off on any court-related documents.
