Attention Students! Join other Trent students and become a buddy for a child with emotional problems. Kinark Child and Family Services, a full range children’s mental health agency, is looking for volunteers to spend 6-8 hours per month with a troubled child. These children and teens are having a rough time and need someone to talk to and have fun with. In particular we are looking for guys who can provide a male role model. Training and staff support provided. Expenses covered. Contact Louise at 742-3803 or email louise.bennett@kinark.on.ca.

We need some fun-loving, positive role models to participate in our rapidly growing after school program for 6 - 12 year olds. It runs Monday - Wednesday 3:30 to 5:30 pm.

We are looking for two to four people each afternoon to help plan, implement and/or supervise the Indoor and Outdoor Phys-Ed, Craft, Games and Activities portions of our program.

We also offer tutoring to the same children and are have some openings for tutoring volunteers for Tuesdays and Thursdays. If there is a great demand, we will extend tutoring to Mondays and Wednesdays as well.
