Guidance Volunteer Opportunities Folder

A reminder that the Guidance Counselors have many, many volunteer opportunities listed in the volunteer folder in the Guidance Office.

Volunteer Opportunity at Child Advocacy Center

The Child Advocacy Center is looking for assistance at their center, located at 556 Franklin St. in Downtown Buffalo.

They have a children's waiting room with toys that need to be cleaned, a book shelf that needs to be organized, along with donations that need to be either stored or put out for the children. "Volunteer days" are Saturdays. The time commitment would be a couple of hours and they prefer no more than eight students at a time. Contact jolin@catswny.org to volunteer.

Winter Break Internship Opportunities in Senator Schumer's Office

Senator Schumer's local office is looking for City Honors interns for winter break. Hours would be at least 1/2 days between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. This is an unpaid internship, but looks good on a resume and can be used for CAS Hours.
