There will be children’s activities, a family scavenger hunt, and people will also be needed to man a popcorn machine and fun stuff like that. Students can contact one of the following people if they wish to volunteer:

If any Seniors are looking for some work towards an environmental career, there is an AmeriCorps opportunity that comes with a stipend and an educational grant. You would not receive CAS credit for this paid opportunity, but we wanted to pass this along.

Call Meaghan at Reinstein (683-5959) if you are interested.

People United for Sustainable Housing (PUSH) is always looking for volunteers to help out with their efforts to rebuild the West Side of Buffalo.

You can find out more about the organization by going to pushbuffalo.org and you can contact Aaron Bartley (CHS Class of 1993) at aaron@pushbuffalo.org if you would like to volunteer (CAS hours would be service or action).
