YOUTH VOLUNTEER AND MENTORSHIP
PROGRAM

Saturday, June 16

10:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
WHAM’s youth volunteers are vital to the success of our camps. We believe that each
volunteer can offer something unique to our programs, whether you have a special
talent or interest or just enjoy working with kids.

The Youth Volunteer and Mentorship Program is offered to youth ages 13 and
older. Volunteering is a great way to begin to build a resume, earn school volunteer
hours, make new friends, and develop leadership skills.

Before they can begin to volunteer, all youths are required to attend an orientation
day at WHAM. This short session includes an introduction to the museum, Health &
Safety and AODA training, a fun museum challenge, and a pizza lunch. After suc-
cessful completion of the museum orientation, youth volunteers will have the op-
portunity to participate in programming, help plan and implement camp events and
activities, and take part in off-site trips.

Application forms are available at WHAM and on the museum website.
