Campus Volunteer Opportunities

Youthcity:

Westminster partners with Youthcity - a local afterschool program - to provide classes for elementary and
middle school students. We are looking for:

  • Westminster students to volunteer at least one hour per week for a minimum of one month. 
  • Volunteers would plan hour-long classes in any subject for students ages 9-14. 

This is a great partnership that has an astounding impact on Youthcity students & Westminster volunteers!
If you are interested, or have further questions, please contact:
