Saturday Camp Volunteers Needed

Latinitas is seeking volunteer assistance with our Saturday Camps.  This is a series of monthly creative expression workshops focused on encouraging girls to build confidence and discover their voice and creativity.  These are fun, girl-friendly activities geared towards pre-teens.  We are looking for volunteers who can commit 2-4 hours per month on a Saturday morning or afternoon to help guide these activities.  We provide the training, an outline of each activity and all the materials.  You don't need prior media or art experience - just experience and an interest in working with young girls.  To volunteer, contact Alicia at latinitaselpaso@yahoo.com or 915.239.5051.
