SKILLS Group of Charlotte - Volunteers Needed
The SKILLS Group of Charlotte is looking for high school volunteers (preferably 14+) to commit to assisting once a week for a month at a time. The SKILLS Group of Charlotte is a certified 501(c)(3) non-profit organization focused on educating teens and young adults, equipping them with life-skills and knowledge that can extend to every aspect of their lives. We hope that volunteers would have a passion for special needs students, education, and creating friendships that reach beyond any handicap.

Embrace the SPIRIT of Friendship - SPRED of St. Matthews
SPIRIT Club is a social club for persons with developmental disabilities and intellectual challenges; we meet once a month for two hours. We have such a great time doing arts and crafts, playing games and engaging in athletics! One of the greatest benefits is that we make new friends.
Each club member has a “buddy” who participates with them at the meetings. Many of our buddies have gone off to college, so we are in great need of adults and teens, age 15 and older to help at the club meetings.
This is your invitation to be Jesus’ Hands and Feet.
Added bonus: Service hours for teens.
Please contact: Linda Altritt at linnync@carolina.rr.com 347-761-6008 or Jan Clemens at SPREDNC@gmail.com 704-246-7102.
