More than 300
volunteers give approximately 20,000 hours of their time and talents
to Alternatives For Girls each year. New volunteers go through an
orientation. Those working with girls and young women participating
in AFG programs also receive training. Current volunteer opportunities
include:
- Mentoring:
AFG needs adult women to mentor individual participants or small
girls’ clubs (two-to-three girls).
- Street
Outreach: Volunteers go out in AFG vans on the streets of Detroit
where they provide Help Cards, food, harm-reduction kits and transportation
to young women in crisis or at risk.
- Administration:
Volunteers may assist with mailings, clerical duties, errands
or facility maintenance.
- Events:
Volunteers may serve on event planning committees or assist with
event tasks such as registration, coat check, set up and break
down, silent auction, etc.
