Community Night Site Coordinator

Requesting Organization

ASPIREKids

Location

Various school sites on the Western Slope of El Dorado County

Description

You'll help bring community night to life — picking up donated clothes, shoes, and food ahead of the event, then leading a small team of volunteers through setup, kids' activities, dinner service, and cleanup. It's hands-on, it's relational, and the impact goes beyond a full bag or a warm meal. Families leave knowing their school community sees them, values them, and has their back — and that sense of belonging is something no one can put a price on.
